FIX: Exceptions When You Pass XML Object into Late-Binding Queued Component Server (291246)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP2
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP2
This article was previously published under Q291246

SYMPTOMS

When you pass an XML Document Object Model (DOM) object as one of the parameters to a method on a queued component (QC) through the IDispatch interface (or late binding), the method to the QC component is not called, and the QC recorder does not pick up the queue message. Finally, they end in dead queue.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a bug in marshaling code of the IPersistSteam interface in the Ole32.dll file.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. On a computer that is running Windows 2000 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with hotfix Q272722, make sure that MSMQ 2.0 is installed.
  2. Install a new component with one method that takes the XML DOM parameter into the COM+ application.
  3. Mark the application and component method as Queued.
  4. Run the test client. Notice that the server method is never called, and the queue message ends up in a dead queue.
