public interface MessageTyper

A MessageTyper's purpose is to determine a DynamicBeanInfo for a JMSType. They are the mechanism whereby metadata for a message bean type can be determined dynamically.

A MessageRegistry implementation should provide a way to specify a MessageTyper for any type of message whose bean metadata must is dynamic, rather than based on introspection of the message object's class.

Method Detail

getBeanInfo

DynamicBeanInfo getBeanInfo(java.lang.String pJMSType,
                            java.lang.Class pMessageClass)

Returns the DynamicBeanInfo associated with a JMS message type and optional message object class. If a class is provided, the MessageTyper can expect that it is the class to which an object message of this type will belong, and can introspect it to determine the non-dynamic portion of the message metadata.

Parameters:

pJMSType - the JMS message type, which is required

pMessageClass - an optional class which will be used at runtime for an object message.
