Hi,

I was referring to blob messages as natural way to exchange large files

http://activemq.apache.org/blob-messages.html

In that scenario you don't send message payloads to the broker but to the
external HTTP or FTP server (those two are currently implemented).

You can find the implementation of the current stuff here

http://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/activemq/trunk/activemq-core/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/blob

and you can try adding needed functionality (or create a new one).

<http://activemq.apache.org/blob-messages.html>Cheers
