The MessageData attribute in the business object is a string value. When the adapter receives business objects from the broker that represent either DTS requests or responses, the MessageDataattribute may contain transparent data (binary data) or text data. If it contains binary data, the string must be converted to a byte array before sending it to VJC. The business object attribute, MessageDataFormat determines whether the data is binary or text. During event handling, when the adapter receives a message from the VJC representing a DTS request, the data may also be binary or text. If it is binary, the message data must be converted from a byte array to a string. For event handling the connector configuration properties define whether a particular DTS service will send and receive binary or text data. When converting a byte array containing the hexadecimal 0x07AF (2 bytes) the result would be a string containing the characters "07AF." Conversely, when converting a string containing the characters "07AF," the result is a byte array containing the hexadecimal 0x07AF (2 bytes).
