Error description
RST could fail at retrieving JMS or MQ response messages of String type if Text Message option is selected in the protocol configuration. In such cases, an exception like the following : java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.ByteArrayInputStream.?init?(ByteArrayInputStream.java:10 1) at com.ibm.rational.test.lt.models.wscore.transport.impl.JMSTranspo rterImpl.processMessagesReceived(JMSTransporterImpl.java:493) at com.ibm.rational.test.lt.models.wscore.transport.impl.JMSTranspo rterImpl.finish_NIO_Send(JMSTransporterImpl.java:407) at com.ibm.rational.ttt.common.ui.send.SendRequestMultiThread.run(S endRequestMultiThread.java:218) would be logged in the Error Log or in the Test Logs. As a result, the received messages would be ignored.

Also, as a result, the received messages would be ignored.
Problem conclusion
The JMS/MQ layer had an issue in the case where JMS/MQ text messages were received. The root cause of the exception was that a byte message was expected in all the cases causing an exception to be generated in the case of a string object.
