Timothy Bish commented on AMQCPP-77:
------------------------------------

I think that the proper way to handle missing string properties is to throw the 
exception.  This is how all the property getters in OpenWire work now, if they 
aren't there a NoSuchElementException is thrown, The stomp getXXXProperty calls 
should do the same.

> Inconsistency when getting string property between Stomp and Openwire

> In our current code we call getStringProperty on a BytesMessage for a 
> property that might not exist. When running with Stomp, this returns an empty 
> string. When running with Openwire, a NoSuchElementException is thrown.
> We could easily change our code to first check whether the property exists 
> with propertyExists prior to getting it, but Stomp and Openwire should 
> probably handle missing string properties in the same way.
> I think this default empty string value was added at some point to avoid null 
> pointers elsewhere in the code. Refer to AMQCPP-43.
