Abstract:  Custom parsing of an XML message received from MQ may throw an exception because the case of the root element gets changed

Description/symptom of problem:  
JR32787 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
When the message is sent through the JMS binding to SIBus that  
is connected with MQ bus through the link, the message that     
comes to the MQ queue contains the elements in incorrect case   
(other than defined in the XSD schema of this BO).              

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
n/a                                                             

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 Users who migrated from WebSphere
Process Server version 6.0.2 to version
6.2.0 and if they have a custom parser
written to parse XML  message received
from MQ in an async scenario.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Custom parsing of an XML message
received from MQ may throw an
exception because the case of the
root element gets changed

RECOMMENDATION:
None

EMF lowers the first character of the root element which may
cause custom parsing to fail.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
A different EMF api is invoked now which returns the name in    
appropriate case.
