There is a getPropertyNames() function, but there doesn't seem to be one which returns the types of the fields.
Secondly, the property names are delivered as part of a message, does this information exist on a destination level. In other words, before a message is received, does (or can) the client known such meta data? My motivation is a generic Jtable which can be linked to a destination (topic or queue). The JTable model needs to know the number of fields and their types, before a message is received. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Sim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 4:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: metadata describing message properties?

I'm not entirely sure I'm answering the right question here, but JMS does indeed offer the ability to get and set various message properties and the Qpid JMS client implements them. See the javadoc for the Message interface [1]. [1] http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/jms/Message.html
