So Camel has a simple abstract Message API based on an Exchange http://activemq.apache.org/camel/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/Exchange.html which has usually an IN Message and maybe an OUT Message (but there's support for various Message Exchange Patterns etc). http://activemq.apache.org/camel/maven/camel-core/apidocs/org/apache/camel/Message.html so its a pretty simple messaging model that maps well to email, JMS, JBI, HTTP, files and so forth. Then there's a handy type conversion mechanism so you can easily convert headers and bodies of messages between different types. So for example a plain text email will automatically turn itself into a JMS TextMessage, a MINA text based encoding by default. http://activemq.apache.org/camel/type-converter.html There's also support for explicit data format marshalling/unmarshalling for things like Java serialization or JAXB2 encoding or whatnot... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/data-format.html Which we might want to add support for MIME encoding to that; so it'd be easy to transform a MIME encoded message to something or whatever. Otherwise a MIME encoded body from a email would just be kept as a byte buffer when sent to JMS via a BytesMessage or HTTP as the content etc. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-tp14037280p14437541.html Sent from the James - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
