public interface Message
Message
interface is the root interface of all Jakarta Messaging messages. It defines the message header and the
acknowledge
method used for all messages.
Most message-oriented middleware (MOM) products treat messages as lightweight entities that consist of a header and a body. The header contains fields used for message routing and identification; the body contains the application data being sent.
Within this general form, the definition of a message varies significantly across products. It would be quite difficult for the Jakarta Messaging API to support all of these message models.
With this in mind, the Jakarta Messaging message model has the following goals:
Jakarta Messaging messages are composed of the following parts:
The Jakarta Messaging API defines five types of message body:
StreamMessage
object's message body contains a stream of primitive values in the Java
programming language ("Java primitives"). It is filled and read sequentially.
MapMessage
object's message body contains a set of name-value pairs, where names are
String
objects, and values are Java primitives. The entries can be accessed sequentially or randomly by name.
The order of the entries is undefined.
TextMessage
object's message body contains a java.lang.String
object. This message type
can be used to transport plain-text messages, and XML messages.
ObjectMessage
object's message body contains a Serializable
Java object.
BytesMessage
object's message body contains a stream of uninterpreted bytes. This message type
is for literally encoding a body to match an existing message format. In many cases, it is possible to use one of the
other body types, which are easier to use. Although the Jakarta Messaging API allows the use of message properties with byte
messages, they are typically not used, since the inclusion of properties may affect the format.
The JMSCorrelationID
header field is used for linking one message with another. It typically links a reply
message with its requesting message.
JMSCorrelationID
can hold a provider-specific message ID, an application-specific String
object, or a
provider-native byte[]
value.
A Message
object contains a built-in facility for supporting application-defined property values. In effect,
this provides a mechanism for adding application-specific header fields to a message.
Properties allow an application, via message selectors, to have a Jakarta Messaging provider select, or filter, messages on its behalf using application-specific criteria.
Property names must obey the rules for a message selector identifier. Property names must not be null, and must not
be empty strings. If a property name is set and it is either null or an empty string, an
IllegalArgumentException
must be thrown.
Property values can be boolean
, byte
, short
, int
, long
, float
,
double
, and String
.
Property values are set prior to sending a message. When a client receives a message, its properties are in read-only
mode. If a client attempts to set properties at this point, a MessageNotWriteableException
is thrown. If
clearProperties
is called, the properties can now be both read from and written to. Note that header fields
are distinct from properties. Header fields are never in read-only mode.
A property value may duplicate a value in a message's body, or it may not. Although Jakarta Messaging does not define a policy for what should or should not be made a property, application developers should note that Jakarta Messaging providers will likely handle data in a message's body more efficiently than data in a message's properties. For best performance, applications should use message properties only when they need to customize a message's header. The primary reason for doing this is to support customized message selection.
Message properties support the following conversion table. The marked cases must be supported. The unmarked cases
must throw a JMSException
. The String
-to-primitive conversions may throw a runtime exception if the
primitive's valueOf
method does not accept the String
as a valid representation of the primitive.
A value written as the row type can be read as the column type.
| | boolean byte short int long float double String |---------------------------------------------------------- |boolean | X X |byte | X X X X X |short | X X X X |int | X X X |long | X X |float | X X X |double | X X |String | X X X X X X X X |----------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the type-specific set/get methods for properties, Jakarta Messaging provides the setObjectProperty
and
getObjectProperty
methods. These support the same set of property types using the objectified primitive
values. Their purpose is to allow the decision of property type to made at execution time rather than at compile
time. They support the same property value conversions.
The setObjectProperty
method accepts values of class Boolean
, Byte
, Short
,
Integer
, Long
, Float
, Double
, and String
. An attempt to use any other class
must throw a JMSException
.
The getObjectProperty
method only returns values of class Boolean
, Byte
, Short
,
Integer
, Long
, Float
, Double
, and String
.
The order of property values is not defined. To iterate through a message's property values, use
getPropertyNames
to retrieve a property name enumeration and then use the various property get methods to
retrieve their values.
A message's properties are deleted by the clearProperties
method. This leaves the message with an empty set
of properties.
Getting a property value for a name which has not been set returns a null value. Only the getStringProperty
and getObjectProperty
methods can return a null value. Attempting to read a null value as a primitive type
must be treated as calling the primitive's corresponding valueOf(String)
conversion method with a null value.
The Jakarta Messaging API reserves the JMSX
property name prefix for Jakarta Messaging defined properties. The full set of these
properties is defined in the Jakarta Messaging specification. The specification also defines whether support for
each property is mandatory or optional. New Jakarta Messaging defined properties may be added in later versions of the Jakarta Messaging API. The
String[] ConnectionMetaData.getJMSXPropertyNames
method returns the names of the JMSX properties supported by
a connection.
JMSX properties may be referenced in message selectors whether or not they are supported by a connection. If they are not present in a message, they are treated like any other absent property. The effect of setting a message selector on a property which is set by the provider on receive is undefined.
JMSX properties defined in the specification as "set by provider on send" are available to both the producer and the consumers of the message. JMSX properties defined in the specification as "set by provider on receive" are available only to the consumers.
JMSXGroupID
and JMSXGroupSeq
are standard properties that clients should use if they want to group
messages. All providers must support them. Unless specifically noted, the values and semantics of the JMSX properties
are undefined.
The Jakarta Messaging API reserves the JMS_vendor_name
property name prefix for provider-specific properties.
Each provider defines its own value for vendor_name
. This is the mechanism a Jakarta Messaging provider uses to
make its special per-message services available to a Jakarta Messaging client.
The purpose of provider-specific properties is to provide special features needed to integrate Jakarta Messaging clients with provider-native clients in a single Jakarta Messaging application. They should not be used for messaging between Jakarta Messaging clients.
The Jakarta Messaging API provides a set of message interfaces that define the Jakarta Messaging message model. It does not provide implementations of these interfaces.
Each Jakarta Messaging provider supplies a set of message factories with its Session
object for creating instances of
messages. This allows a provider to use message implementations tailored to its specific needs.
A provider must be prepared to accept message implementations that are not its own. They may not be handled as efficiently as its own implementation; however, they must be handled.
Note the following exception case when a provider is handling a foreign message implementation. If the foreign
message implementation contains a JMSReplyTo
header field that is set to a foreign destination
implementation, the provider is not required to handle or preserve the value of this header field.
A Jakarta Messaging message selector allows a client to specify, by header field references and property references, the messages
it is interested in. Only messages whose header and property values match the selector are delivered. What it means
for a message not to be delivered depends on the MessageConsumer
being used (see
QueueReceiver
and TopicSubscriber
).
Message selectors cannot reference message body values.
A message selector matches a message if the selector evaluates to true when the message's header field values and property values are substituted for their corresponding identifiers in the selector.
A message selector is a String
whose syntax is based on a subset of the SQL92 conditional expression syntax.
If the value of a message selector is an empty string, the value is treated as a null and indicates that there is no
message selector for the message consumer.
The order of evaluation of a message selector is from left to right within precedence level. Parentheses can be used to change this order.
Predefined selector literals and operator names are shown here in uppercase; however, they are case insensitive.
A selector can contain:
'literal'
and 'literal''s'
. Like string literals in the Java programming language, these use
the Unicode character encoding.
57
, -957
, and
+62
; numbers in the range of long
are supported. Exact numeric literals use the integer literal
syntax of the Java programming language.
7E3
and
-57.9E2
, or a numeric value with a decimal, such as 7.
, -95.7
, and +6.2
; numbers in
the range of double
are supported. Approximate literals use the floating-point literal syntax of the Java
programming language.

and FALSE

Character.isJavaLetter

and '$'
. A letter or digit is any character for which the method Character.isJavaLetterOrDigit
returns true.

Jakarta Messaging providers are required to verify the syntactic correctness of a message selector at the time it is presented. A
method that provides a syntactically incorrect selector must result in a JMSException
. Jakarta Messaging providers may also
optionally provide some semantic checking at the time the selector is presented. Not all semantic checking can be
performed at the time a message selector is presented, because property types are not known.
The following message selector selects messages with a message type of car and color of blue and weight greater than 2500 pounds:
"JMSType = 'car' AND color = 'blue' AND weight > 2500"
As noted above, property values may be NULL
. The evaluation of selector expressions containing NULL
values is defined by SQL92 NULL
semantics. A brief description of these semantics is provided here.
SQL treats a NULL
value as unknown. Comparison or arithmetic with an unknown value always yields an unknown
value.
The IS NULL
and IS NOT NULL
operators convert an unknown value into the respective TRUE
and
FALSE
values.
The boolean operators use three-valued logic as defined by the following tables:
The definition of the AND
operator
| AND | T | F | U +------+-------+-------+------- | T | T | F | U | F | F | F | F | U | U | F | U +------+-------+-------+-------
The definition of the OR
operator
| OR | T | F | U +------+-------+-------+-------- | T | T | T | T | F | T | F | U | U | T | U | U +------+-------+-------+-------
The definition of the NOT
operator
| NOT +------+------ | T | F | F | T | U | U +------+-------
When used in a message selector, the JMSDeliveryMode
header field is treated as having the values
'PERSISTENT'
and 'NON_PERSISTENT'
.
Date and time values should use the standard long
millisecond value. When a date or time literal is included
in a message selector, it should be an integer literal for a millisecond value. The standard way to produce
millisecond values is to use java.util.Calendar
.
Although SQL supports fixed decimal comparison and arithmetic, Jakarta Messaging message selectors do not. This is the reason for restricting exact numeric literals to those without a decimal (and the addition of numerics with a decimal as an alternate representation for approximate numeric values).
SQL comments are not supported.

java.lang.String getJMSMessageID() throws JMSException
The JMSMessageID
header field contains a value that uniquely identifies each message sent by a provider.
When a message is sent, JMSMessageID
can be ignored. When the send
or publish
method returns,
it contains a provider-assigned value.
A JMSMessageID
is a String
value that should function as a unique key for identifying messages in a
historical repository. The exact scope of uniqueness is provider-defined. It should at least cover all messages for a
specific installation of a provider, where an installation is some connected set of message routers.
All JMSMessageID
values must start with the prefix 'ID:'
. Uniqueness of message ID values across
different providers is not required.
Since message IDs take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some Jakarta Messaging providers may be able to
optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the message ID is not used by an application. By calling the
MessageProducer.setDisableMessageID
method, a Jakarta Messaging client enables this potential optimization for all messages
sent by that message producer. If the Jakarta Messaging provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to
null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

id

long getJMSTimestamp() throws JMSException
The JMSTimestamp
header field contains the time a message was handed off to a provider to be sent. It is not
the time the message was actually transmitted, because the actual send may occur later due to transactions or other
client-side queueing of messages.
When a message is sent, JMSTimestamp
is ignored. When the send
or publish
method returns, it
contains a time value somewhere in the interval between the call and the return. The value is in the format of a
normal millis time value in the Java programming language.
Since timestamps take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some Jakarta Messaging providers may be able to optimize
message overhead if they are given a hint that the timestamp is not used by an application. By calling the
MessageProducer.setDisableMessageTimestamp
method, a Jakarta Messaging client enables this potential optimization for all
messages sent by that message producer. If the Jakarta Messaging provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp
set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint, the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

may throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

A client can use the JMSCorrelationID
header field to link one message with another. A typical use is to link
a response message with its request message.
JMSCorrelationID
can hold one of the following:
String
byte[]
value
Since each message sent by a Jakarta Messaging provider is assigned a message ID value, it is convenient to link messages via
message ID. All message ID values must start with the 'ID:'
prefix.
In some cases, an application (made up of several clients) needs to use an application-specific value for linking
messages. For instance, an application may use JMSCorrelationID
to hold a value referencing some external
information. Application-specified values must not start with the 'ID:'
prefix; this is reserved for
provider-generated message ID values.
If a provider supports the native concept of correlation ID, a Jakarta Messaging client may need to assign specific
JMSCorrelationID
values to match those expected by clients that do not use the Jakarta Messaging API. A byte[]
value is used for this purpose. Jakarta Messaging providers without native correlation ID values are not required to support
byte[]
values. The use of a byte[]
value for JMSCorrelationID
is non-portable.

void setJMSReplyTo(Destination replyTo) throws JMSException
Destination
object to which a reply to this message should be sent.
The JMSReplyTo
header field contains the destination where a reply to the current message should be sent. If
it is null, no reply is expected. The destination may be either a Queue
object or a Topic
object.
Messages sent with a null JMSReplyTo
value may be a notification of some event, or they may just be some data
the sender thinks is of interest.
Messages with a JMSReplyTo
value typically expect a response. A response is optional; it is up to the client
to decide. These messages are called requests. A message sent in response to a request is called a reply.
In some cases a client may wish to match a request it sent earlier with a reply it has just received. The client can
use the JMSCorrelationID
header field for this purpose.

- if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to get the message type due to some internal error.setJMSType(String)
void setJMSType(java.lang.String type) throws JMSException
Some Jakarta Messaging providers use a message repository that contains the definitions of messages sent by applications. The
JMSType
header field may reference a message's definition in the provider's repository.
The Jakarta Messaging API does not define a standard message definition repository, nor does it define a naming policy for the definitions it contains.
Some messaging systems require that a message type definition for each application message be created and that each
message specify its type. In order to work with such Jakarta Messaging providers, Jakarta Messaging clients should assign a value to
JMSType
, whether the application makes use of it or not. This ensures that the field is properly set for
those providers that require it.
To ensure portability, Jakarta Messaging clients should use symbolic values for JMSType
that can be configured at
installation time to the values defined in the current provider's message repository. If string literals are used,
they may not be valid type names for some Jakarta Messaging providers.

long getJMSExpiration() throws JMSException
When a message is sent, the JMSExpiration
header field is left unassigned. After completion of the
send
or publish
method, it holds the expiration time of the message. This is the the difference,
measured in milliseconds, between the expiration time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.
If the time-to-live is specified as zero, JMSExpiration
is set to zero to indicate that the message does not
expire.
When a message's expiration time is reached, a provider should discard it. The Jakarta Messaging API does not define any form of notification of message expiration.
Clients should not receive messages that have expired; however, the Jakarta Messaging API does not guarantee that this will not happen.
JMSException

A message's delivery time is the earliest time when a Jakarta Messaging provider may deliver the message to a consumer. The provider must not deliver messages before the delivery time has been reached.

int getJMSPriority() throws JMSException
The Jakarta Messaging API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. In addition, clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority.
The Jakarta Messaging API does not require that a provider strictly implement priority ordering of messages; however, it should do its best to deliver expedited messages ahead of normal messages.

- if properties are read-onlyvoid acknowledge() throws JMSException
All consumed Jakarta Messaging messages support the acknowledge
method for use when a client has specified that its JMS
session's consumed messages are to be explicitly acknowledged. By invoking acknowledge
on a consumed message,
a client acknowledges all messages consumed by the session that the message was delivered to.
Calls to acknowledge
are ignored for both transacted sessions and sessions specified to use implicit
acknowledgement modes.
A client may individually acknowledge each message as it is consumed, or it may choose to acknowledge messages as an application-defined group (which is done by calling acknowledge on the last received message of the group, thereby acknowledging all messages consumed by the session.)
Messages that have been received but not acknowledged may be redelivered.
