Hi Vik,
Since header properties are the only properties you can set in a STOMP
message, what your question boils down to is what does the ActiveMQ broker
do with those properties - in particular when it forwards those messages to
a Java client. My guess is that it would simply copy them over to the JMS
message so that you could retrieve them via a call to getProperty().
After a brief look at the code, I found this in org.apache.activemq
/transport.stomp.FrameBuilder
public FrameBuilder addHeaders(ActiveMQMessage message) throws IOException {
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.DESTINATION,
DestinationNamer.convert(message.getDestination()));
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.MESSAGE_ID, message.getJMSMessageID());
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.CORRELATION_ID,
message.getJMSCorrelationID());
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.EXPIRATION_TIME,
message.getJMSExpiration());
if (message.getJMSRedelivered()) {
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.REDELIVERED, "true");
}
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.PRORITY, message.getJMSPriority());
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.REPLY_TO,
DestinationNamer.convert(message.getJMSReplyTo()));
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.TIMESTAMP, message.getJMSTimestamp());
addHeader(Stomp.Headers.Message.TYPE, message.getJMSType());
// now lets add all the message headers
Map properties = message.getProperties();
if (properties != null) {
headers.putAll(properties);
}
return this;
}
So this class creates stomp frames from JMS messages (the opposite direction
for the question you're asking). But after a quick inspection, it looks
like all JMS properties are transferred to the stomp header. I would guess
that the reciprocal operation is performed when going from stomp to JMS
messages. If this is true, then the stomp header is the place to stick
everything. But we should probably get some input from someone on the
ActiveMQ team ... James?
As far as CMS is concerned, it is limited to the stomp protocol, so it would
have to use the header properties map to set properties.
