BAM Sensors

Question

I am integrating a SOA App with BAM using the following path:
BPEL Activity --> Activity Sensor --> Sensor Action --> JMS --> EMS --> BAM ADC.
Note that I am not using the BAM Sensor Action in this test.
When tested, the JMS Message is duly put in the JMS Queue, the format is given below.
The problem is that the entire message format is put in the Queue, whereas I am interested only in the <Order> section which comes under
/actionData/payload/variableData/data/
The questions I have are
1) Is there a way to control what goes into the JMS Queue ?
2) The EMS configuration has a "pre-processing" option which can parse an XML, which is very non-intuitive. I am unable to make this work.
Can I have an example of how this works ?
JMS Message:

Answer 1

You can use advanced xml processing option in BAM including usign xsl to get to any attribute/node in xml.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/bam_ent_msg_sources.htm#CJAFGEBD
Please use bam 11.1.1.2.0.
There may be a way to limit the output generated by jms sensor action, please send that question to bpel forum.
