Interface ObjectMessage

All Superinterfaces:
  Message

public interface ObjectMessage
extends Message

An `ObjectMessage` object is used to send a message that contains a serializable object in the Java programming language ("Java object"). It inherits from the `Message` interface and adds a body containing a single reference to an object. Only `Serializable` Java objects can be used.

If a collection of Java objects must be sent, one of the `Collection` classes provided since JDK 1.2 can be used.

When a client receives an `ObjectMessage`, it is in read-only mode. If a client attempts to write to the message at this point, a `MessageNotWriteableException` is thrown. If `clearBody` is called, the message can now be both read from and written to.

  `Session.createObjectMessage()`, `Session.createObjectMessage(Serializable)`, `BytesMessage`, `MapMessage`, `Message`, `StreamMessage`, `TextMessage`

Method Detail

### setObject

    public void setObject(Serializable object)
                   throws JMSException

  Sets the serializable object containing this message's data. It is important to note that an `ObjectMessage` contains a snapshot of the object at the time `setObject()` is called; subsequent modifications of the object will have no effect on the `ObjectMessage` body.

  Parameters:
    `object` - the message's data
  Throws:
    `JMSException` - if the JMS provider fails to set the object due to some internal error.
    `MessageFormatException` - if object serialization fails.
    `MessageNotWriteableException` - if the message is in read-only mode.

### getObject

    public Serializable getObject()
                           throws JMSException

  Gets the serializable object containing this message's data. The default value is null.

  Returns:
    the serializable object containing this message's data
  Throws:
    `JMSException` - if the JMS provider fails to get the object due to some internal error.
    `MessageFormatException` - if object deserialization fails.
