I agree that we shouldn't really be doing this. I don't think this was recently introduced though, the JMSMessage class has been doing this for ages.
Why don't you open a bugzilla so we have a record of it and we can talk about it at the next bugzilla review (oh, I'd like to have a bugzilla review on IRC soon). I'm not sure if we can fix this for this release though. ...ant Anthony Elder [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Services Development IBM UK Laboratories, Hursley Park (+44) 01962 818320, x248320, MP208.
