I have a struct xyz to be sent. I did try sending it in following way

Hi Gordon
You seem to have sent binary data. If you don't mind would you please let me know how to send the binary data using qpid...
say i want to send/recv xyz structure on message queue. how do we do the same?
You can do something like this:
struct Foo {...};
Foo foo;
message.setData(std::string(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(&foo), sizeof(foo));
...
foo = *reinterpret_cast<const Foo*>(message.getData());
PROVIDED that all the hosts in your cluster have identical architecture. This is
a highly non-portable way to encode things and can fail tragically if any of
your hosts have different architecture or if you have different versions of the
client built with different compilers versions or even different compiler flags.
For more portable alternatives, you can use the qpid::framing::Buffer to encode
things, but you have to write the code to serialize your structure into calls on
the Buffer put/get functions. This is not really part of the client API so it
may change in future
For a more full-featured serialization framework you might want to check out
boost.serialization.
Cheers,
Alan.
