Really this is much more about how an ObjectMessage serializes the Object. As we have C++ clients etc that obviously won't be able to understand Java serialized object.
We use Avro and a schema repo for our dto transfer over the wire, it's been a real performance boost , and removed some core data issues, and really like to use it over the JMS land. One can argue that you could manually code this that you serialize the data manually first and then just manually send a BytesMessage. But I think taking some inspiration from other places where a serdes pattern is done has really helped (Kafka), from a corporation user approach wiring some prebuilt serdes into a factory is very easy, having duplicated code in many many apps leaves for issues, and implementation divergence. The one downside of Kafka is it's lack of spec api, this is one big sell of artemis as it's JMS compliant. Coding against JMS api for Java estate is a huge win, this is suggesting taking some of the good bits :). Does camel expose this as some sort of JMS API wrapper? I thought it was much more an EAI solution.
