The `Message` interface is the root interface of all JMS messages. It defines the message header and the `acknowledge` method used for all messages.

Most message-oriented middleware (MOM) products treat messages as lightweight entities that consist of a header and a payload. The header contains fields used for message routing and identification; the payload contains the application data being sent.

Within this general form, the definition of a message varies significantly across products. It would be quite difficult for the JMS API to support all of these message models.

With this in mind, the JMS message model has the following goals:

- Provide a single, unified message API
- Provide an API suitable for creating messages that match the format used by provider-native messaging applications
- Support the development of heterogeneous applications that span operating systems, machine architectures, and computer languages
- Support messages containing objects in the Java programming language ("Java objects")
- Support messages containing Extensible Markup Language (XML) pages

JMS messages are composed of the following parts:

- Header - All messages support the same set of header fields. Header fields contain values used by both clients and providers to identify and route messages.
- Properties - Each message contains a built-in facility for supporting application-defined property values. Properties provide an efficient mechanism for supporting application-defined message filtering.
- Body - The JMS API defines several types of message body, which cover the majority of messaging styles currently in use.

#### Message Bodies

The JMS API defines five types of message body:

- Stream - A `StreamMessage` object's message body contains a stream of primitive values in the Java programming language ("Java primitives"). It is filled and read sequentially.
- Map - A `MapMessage` object's message body contains a set of name-value pairs, where names are `String` objects, and values are Java primitives. The entries can be accessed sequentially or randomly by name. The order of the entries is undefined.
- Text - A `TextMessage` object's message body contains a `java.lang.String` object. This message type can be used to transport plain-text messages, and XML messages.
- Object - An `ObjectMessage` object's message body contains a `Serializable` Java object.
- Bytes - A `BytesMessage` object's message body contains a stream of uninterpreted bytes. This message type is for literally encoding a body to match an existing message format. In many cases, it is possible to use one of the other body types, which are easier to use. Although the JMS API allows the use of message properties with byte messages, they are typically not used, since the inclusion of properties may affect the format.

#### Message Headers

The `JMSCorrelationID` header field is used for linking one message with another. It typically links a reply message with its requesting message.

`JMSCorrelationID` can hold a provider-specific message ID, an application-specific `String` object, or a provider-native `byte[]` value.

#### Message Properties

A `Message` object contains a built-in facility for supporting application-defined property values. In effect, this provides a mechanism for adding application-specific header fields to a message.

Properties allow an application, via message selectors, to have a JMS provider select, or filter, messages on its behalf using application-specific criteria.

Property names must obey the rules for a message selector identifier. Property names must not be null, and must not be empty strings. If a property name is set and it is either null or an empty string, an `IllegalArgumentException` must be thrown.

Property values can be `boolean`, `byte`, `short`, `int`, `long`, `float`, `double`, and `String`.

Property values are set prior to sending a message. When a client receives a message, its properties are in read-only mode. If a client attempts to set properties at this point, a `MessageNotWriteableException` is thrown. If `clearProperties` is called, the properties can now be both read from and written to. Note that header fields are distinct from properties. Header fields are never in read-only mode.

A property value may duplicate a value in a message's body, or it may not. Although JMS does not define a policy for what should or should not be made a property, application developers should note that JMS providers will likely handle data in a message's body more efficiently than data in a message's properties. For best performance, applications should use message properties only when they need to customize a message's header. The primary reason for doing this is to support customized message selection.

Message properties support the following conversion table. The marked cases must be supported. The unmarked cases must throw a `JMSException`. The `String`-to-primitive conversions may throw a runtime exception if the primitive's `valueOf` method does not accept the `String` as a valid representation of the primitive.

A value written as the row type can be read as the column type.

     |        | boolean byte short int long float double String
     |----------------------------------------------------------
     |boolean |    X                                       X
     |byte    |          X     X    X   X                  X
     |short   |                X    X   X                  X
     |int     |                     X   X                  X
     |long    |                         X                  X
     |float   |                               X     X      X
     |double  |                                     X      X
     |String  |    X     X     X    X   X     X     X      X
     |----------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the type-specific set/get methods for properties, JMS provides the `setObjectProperty` and `getObjectProperty` methods. These support the same set of property types using the objectified primitive values. Their purpose is to allow the decision of property type to made at execution time rather than at compile time. They support the same property value conversions.

The `setObjectProperty` method accepts values of class `Boolean`, `Byte`, `Short`, `Integer`, `Long`, `Float`, `Double`, and `String`. An attempt to use any other class must throw a `JMSException`.

The `getObjectProperty` method only returns values of class `Boolean`, `Byte`, `Short`, `Integer`, `Long`, `Float`, `Double`, and `String`.

The order of property values is not defined. To iterate through a message's property values, use `getPropertyNames` to retrieve a property name enumeration and then use the various property get methods to retrieve their values.

A message's properties are deleted by the `clearProperties` method. This leaves the message with an empty set of properties.

Getting a property value for a name which has not been set returns a null value. Only the `getStringProperty` and `getObjectProperty` methods can return a null value. Attempting to read a null value as a primitive type must be treated as calling the primitive's corresponding `valueOf(String)` conversion method with a null value.

The JMS API reserves the `JMSX` property name prefix for JMS defined properties. The full set of these properties is defined in the Java Message Service specification. New JMS defined properties may be added in later versions of the JMS API. Support for these properties is optional. The `String[] ConnectionMetaData.getJMSXPropertyNames` method returns the names of the JMSX properties supported by a connection.

JMSX properties may be referenced in message selectors whether or not they are supported by a connection. If they are not present in a message, they are treated like any other absent property.

JMSX properties defined in the specification as "set by provider on send" are available to both the producer and the consumers of the message. JMSX properties defined in the specification as "set by provider on receive" are available only to the consumers.

`JMSXGroupID` and `JMSXGroupSeq` are standard properties that clients should use if they want to group messages. All providers must support them. Unless specifically noted, the values and semantics of the JMSX properties are undefined.

The JMS API reserves the `JMS_vendor_name` property name prefix for provider-specific properties. Each provider defines its own value for `vendor_name`. This is the mechanism a JMS provider uses to make its special per-message services available to a JMS client.

The purpose of provider-specific properties is to provide special features needed to integrate JMS clients with provider-native clients in a single JMS application. They should not be used for messaging between JMS clients.

#### Provider Implementations of JMS Message Interfaces

The JMS API provides a set of message interfaces that define the JMS message model. It does not provide implementations of these interfaces.

Each JMS provider supplies a set of message factories with its `Session` object for creating instances of messages. This allows a provider to use message implementations tailored to its specific needs.

A provider must be prepared to accept message implementations that are not its own. They may not be handled as efficiently as its own implementation; however, they must be handled.

Note the following exception case when a provider is handling a foreign message implementation. If the foreign message implementation contains a `JMSReplyTo` header field that is set to a foreign destination implementation, the provider is not required to handle or preserve the value of this header field.

#### Message Selectors

A JMS message selector allows a client to specify, by header field references and property references, the messages it is interested in. Only messages whose header and property values match the selector are delivered. What it means for a message not to be delivered depends on the `MessageConsumer` being used (see `QueueReceiver` and `TopicSubscriber`).

Message selectors cannot reference message body values.

A message selector matches a message if the selector evaluates to true when the message's header field values and property values are substituted for their corresponding identifiers in the selector.

A message selector is a `String` whose syntax is based on a subset of the SQL92 conditional expression syntax. If the value of a message selector is an empty string, the value is treated as a null and indicates that there is no message selector for the message consumer.

The order of evaluation of a message selector is from left to right within precedence level. Parentheses can be used to change this order.

Predefined selector literals and operator names are shown here in uppercase; however, they are case insensitive.

A selector can contain:

- Literals:
  - A string literal is enclosed in single quotes, with a single quote represented by doubled single quote; for example, `'literal'` and `'literal''s'`. Like string literals in the Java programming language, these use the Unicode character encoding.
  - An exact numeric literal is a numeric value without a decimal point, such as `57`, `-957`, and `+62`; numbers in the range of `long` are supported. Exact numeric literals use the integer literal syntax of the Java programming language.
  - An approximate numeric literal is a numeric value in scientific notation, such as `7E3` and `-57.9E2`, or a numeric value with a decimal, such as `7.`, `-95.7`, and `+6.2`; numbers in the range of `double` are supported. Approximate literals use the floating-point literal syntax of the Java programming language.
  - The boolean literals `TRUE` and `FALSE`.
- Identifiers:
  - An identifier is an unlimited-length sequence of letters and digits, the first of which must be a letter. A letter is any character for which the method `Character.isJavaLetter` returns true. This includes `'_'` and `'$'`. A letter or digit is any character for which the method `Character.isJavaLetterOrDigit` returns true.
  - Identifiers cannot be the names `NULL`, `TRUE`, and `FALSE`.
  - Identifiers cannot be `NOT`, `AND`, `OR`, `BETWEEN`, `LIKE`, `IN`, `IS`, or `ESCAPE`.
  - Identifiers are either header field references or property references. The type of a property value in a message selector corresponds to the type used to set the property. If a property that does not exist in a message is referenced, its value is `NULL`.
  - The conversions that apply to the get methods for properties do not apply when a property is used in a message selector expression. For example, suppose you set a property as a string value, as in the following:

        myMessage.setStringProperty("NumberOfOrders", "2");

    The following expression in a message selector would evaluate to false, because a string cannot be used in an arithmetic expression:

        "NumberOfOrders > 1"

  - Identifiers are case-sensitive.
  - Message header field references are restricted to `JMSDeliveryMode`, `JMSPriority`, `JMSMessageID`, `JMSTimestamp`, `JMSCorrelationID`, and `JMSType`. `JMSMessageID`, `JMSCorrelationID`, and `JMSType` values may be null and if so are treated as a `NULL` value.
  - Any name beginning with `'JMSX'` is a JMS defined property name.
  - Any name beginning with `'JMS_'` is a provider-specific property name.
  - Any name that does not begin with `'JMS'` is an application-specific property name.
- White space is the same as that defined for the Java programming language: space, horizontal tab, form feed, and line terminator.
- Expressions:
  - A selector is a conditional expression; a selector that evaluates to `true` matches; a selector that evaluates to `false` or unknown does not match.
  - Arithmetic expressions are composed of themselves, arithmetic operations, identifiers (whose value is treated as a numeric literal), and numeric literals.
  - Conditional expressions are composed of themselves, comparison operations, and logical operations.
- Standard bracketing `()` for ordering expression evaluation is supported.
- Logical operators in precedence order: `NOT`, `AND`, `OR`
- Comparison operators: `=`, `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`, `<>` (not equal)
  - Only like type values can be compared. One exception is that it is valid to compare exact numeric values and approximate numeric values; the type conversion required is defined by the rules of numeric promotion in the Java programming language. If the comparison of non-like type values is attempted, the value of the operation is false. If either of the type values evaluates to `NULL`, the value of the expression is unknown.
  - String and boolean comparison is restricted to `=` and `<>`. Two strings are equal if and only if they contain the same sequence of characters.
- Arithmetic operators in precedence order:
  - `+`, `-` (unary)
  - `*`, `/` (multiplication and division)
  - `+`, `-` (addition and subtraction)
  - Arithmetic operations must use numeric promotion in the Java programming language.
- `arithmetic-expr1 [NOT] BETWEEN arithmetic-expr2 AND arithmetic-expr3` (comparison operator)
  - `"age BETWEEN 15 AND 19"` is equivalent to `"age >= 15 AND age <= 19"`
  - `"age NOT BETWEEN 15 AND 19"` is equivalent to `"age < 15 OR age > 19"`
- `identifier [NOT] IN (string-literal1, string-literal2,...)` (comparison operator where `identifier` has a `String` or `NULL` value)
  - `"Country IN (' UK', 'US', 'France')"` is true for `'UK'` and false for `'Peru'`; it is equivalent to the expression `"(Country = ' UK') OR (Country = ' US') OR (Country = ' France')"`
  - `"Country NOT IN (' UK', 'US', 'France')"` is false for `'UK'` and true for `'Peru'`; it is equivalent to the expression `"NOT ((Country = ' UK') OR (Country = ' US') OR (Country = ' France'))"`
  - If identifier of an `IN` or `NOT IN` operation is `NULL`, the value of the operation is unknown.
- `identifier [NOT] LIKE pattern-value [ESCAPE escape-character]` (comparison operator, where `identifier` has a `String` value; `pattern-value` is a string literal where `'_'` stands for any single character; `'%'` stands for any sequence of characters, including the empty sequence; and all other characters stand for themselves. The optional `escape-character` is a single-character string literal whose character is used to escape the special meaning of the `'_'` and `'%'` in `pattern-value`.)
  - `"phone LIKE '12%3'"` is true for `'123'` or `'12993'` and false for `'1234'`
  - `"word LIKE 'l_se'"` is true for `'lose'` and false for `'loose'`
  - `"underscored LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\'"` is true for `'_foo'` and false for `'bar'`
  - `"phone NOT LIKE '12%3'"` is false for `'123'` or `'12993'` and true for `'1234'`
  - If `identifier` of a `LIKE` or `NOT LIKE` operation is `NULL`, the value of the operation is unknown.
- `identifier IS NULL` (comparison operator that tests for a null header field value or a missing property value)
  - `"prop_name IS NULL"`
- `identifier IS NOT NULL` (comparison operator that tests for the existence of a non-null header field value or a property value)
  - `"prop_name IS NOT NULL"`

  JMS providers are required to verify the syntactic correctness of a message selector at the time it is presented. A method that provides a syntactically incorrect selector must result in a `JMSException`. JMS providers may also optionally provide some semantic checking at the time the selector is presented. Not all semantic checking can be performed at the time a message selector is presented, because property types are not known.

  The following message selector selects messages with a message type of car and color of blue and weight greater than 2500 pounds:

      "JMSType = 'car' AND color = 'blue' AND weight > 2500"

  #### Null Values

  As noted above, property values may be `NULL`. The evaluation of selector expressions containing `NULL` values is defined by SQL92 `NULL` semantics. A brief description of these semantics is provided here.

  SQL treats a `NULL` value as unknown. Comparison or arithmetic with an unknown value always yields an unknown value.

  The `IS NULL` and `IS NOT NULL` operators convert an unknown value into the respective `TRUE` and `FALSE` values.

  The boolean operators use three-valued logic as defined by the following tables:

  The definition of the `AND` operator

       | AND  |   T   |   F   |   U
       +------+-------+-------+-------
       |  T   |   T   |   F   |   U
       |  F   |   F   |   F   |   F
       |  U   |   U   |   F   |   U
       +------+-------+-------+-------

  The definition of the `OR` operator

       | OR   |   T   |   F   |   U
       +------+-------+-------+--------
       |  T   |   T   |   T   |   T
       |  F   |   T   |   F   |   U
       |  U   |   T   |   U   |   U
       +------+-------+-------+-------

  The definition of the `NOT` operator

       | NOT
       +------+------
       |  T   |   F
       |  F   |   T
       |  U   |   U
       +------+-------

  #### Special Notes

  When used in a message selector, the `JMSDeliveryMode` header field is treated as having the values `'PERSISTENT'` and `'NON_PERSISTENT'`.

  Date and time values should use the standard `long` millisecond value. When a date or time literal is included in a message selector, it should be an integer literal for a millisecond value. The standard way to produce millisecond values is to use `java.util.Calendar`.

  Although SQL supports fixed decimal comparison and arithmetic, JMS message selectors do not. This is the reason for restricting exact numeric literals to those without a decimal (and the addition of numerics with a decimal as an alternate representation for approximate numeric values).

  SQL comments are not supported.

  ### getJMSMessageID

      public String getJMSMessageID()

    Gets the message ID.

    The `JMSMessageID` header field contains a value that uniquely identifies each message sent by a provider.

    When a message is sent, `JMSMessageID` can be ignored. When the `send` or `publish` method returns, it contains a provider-assigned value.

    A `JMSMessageID` is a `String` value that should function as a unique key for identifying messages in a historical repository. The exact scope of uniqueness is provider-defined. It should at least cover all messages for a specific installation of a provider, where an installation is some connected set of message routers.

    All `JMSMessageID` values must start with the prefix `'ID:'`. Uniqueness of message ID values across different providers is not required.

    Since message IDs take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the message ID is not used by an application. By calling the `MessageProducer.setDisableMessageID` method, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by that message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSMessageID` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the message ID
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSMessageID(String)`, `MessageProducer.setDisableMessageID(boolean)`

  ### setJMSMessageID

      public void setJMSMessageID(String id)

    Sets the message ID.

    JMS providers set this field when a message is sent. This method can be used to change the value for a message that has been received.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSMessageID` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `id` - the ID of the message
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSMessageID()`

  ### getJMSTimestamp

      public long getJMSTimestamp()

    Gets the message timestamp.

    The `JMSTimestamp` header field contains the time a message was handed off to a provider to be sent. It is not the time the message was actually transmitted, because the actual send may occur later due to transactions or other client-side queueing of messages.

    When a message is sent, `JMSTimestamp` is ignored. When the `send` or `publish` method returns, it contains a time value somewhere in the interval between the call and the return. The value is in the format of a normal millis time value in the Java programming language.

    Since timestamps take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the timestamp is not used by an application. By calling the `MessageProducer.setDisableMessageTimestamp` method, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by that message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint, the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSTimestamp` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the message timestamp
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSTimestamp(long)`, `MessageProducer.setDisableMessageTimestamp(boolean)`

  ### setJMSTimestamp

      public void setJMSTimestamp(long timestamp)

    Sets the message timestamp.

    JMS providers set this field when a message is sent. This method can be used to change the value for a message that has been received.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSTimestamp` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `timestamp` - the timestamp for this message
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSTimestamp()`

  ### getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes

      public byte[] getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes()

    Gets the correlation ID as an array of bytes for the message.

    The use of a `byte[]` value for `JMSCorrelationID` is non-portable.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the correlation ID of a message as an array of bytes
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSCorrelationID(String)`, `Message.getJMSCorrelationID()`, `Message.setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes(byte[])`

  ### setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes

      public void setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes(byte[] correlationID)

    Sets the correlation ID as an array of bytes for the message.

    The array is copied before the method returns, so future modifications to the array will not alter this message header.

    If a provider supports the native concept of correlation ID, a JMS client may need to assign specific `JMSCorrelationID` values to match those expected by native messaging clients. JMS providers without native correlation ID values are not required to support this method and its corresponding get method; their implementation may throw a `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException`.

    The use of a `byte[]` value for `JMSCorrelationID` is non-portable.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `correlationID` - the correlation ID value as an array of bytes
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSCorrelationID(String)`, `Message.getJMSCorrelationID()`, `Message.getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes()`

  ### setJMSCorrelationID

      public void setJMSCorrelationID(String correlationID)

    Sets the correlation ID for the message.

    A client can use the `JMSCorrelationID` header field to link one message with another. A typical use is to link a response message with its request message.

    `JMSCorrelationID` can hold one of the following:

    - A provider-specific message ID
    - An application-specific `String`
    - A provider-native `byte[]` value

    Since each message sent by a JMS provider is assigned a message ID value, it is convenient to link messages via message ID. All message ID values must start with the `'ID:'` prefix.

    In some cases, an application (made up of several clients) needs to use an application-specific value for linking messages. For instance, an application may use `JMSCorrelationID` to hold a value referencing some external information. Application-specified values must not start with the `'ID:'` prefix; this is reserved for provider-generated message ID values.

    If a provider supports the native concept of correlation ID, a JMS client may need to assign specific `JMSCorrelationID` values to match those expected by clients that do not use the JMS API. A `byte[]` value is used for this purpose. JMS providers without native correlation ID values are not required to support `byte[]` values. The use of a `byte[]` value for `JMSCorrelationID` is non-portable.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSCorrelationID` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `correlationID` - the message ID of a message being referred to
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSCorrelationID()`, `Message.getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes()`, `Message.setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes(byte[])`

  ### getJMSCorrelationID

      public String getJMSCorrelationID()

    Gets the correlation ID for the message.

    This method is used to return correlation ID values that are either provider-specific message IDs or application-specific `String` values.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSCorrelationID` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the correlation ID of a message as a `String`
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSCorrelationID(String)`, `Message.getJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes()`, `Message.setJMSCorrelationIDAsBytes(byte[])`

  ### getJMSReplyTo

      public Destination getJMSReplyTo()

    Gets the `Destination` object to which a reply to this message should be sent.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSReplyTo` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      `Destination` to which to send a response to this message
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSReplyTo(Destination)`

  ### setJMSReplyTo

      public void setJMSReplyTo(Destination replyTo)

    Sets the `Destination` object to which a reply to this message should be sent.

    The `JMSReplyTo` header field contains the destination where a reply to the current message should be sent. If it is null, no reply is expected. The destination may be either a `Queue` object or a `Topic` object.

    Messages sent with a null `JMSReplyTo` value may be a notification of some event, or they may just be some data the sender thinks is of interest.

    Messages with a `JMSReplyTo` value typically expect a response. A response is optional; it is up to the client to decide. These messages are called requests. A message sent in response to a request is called a reply.

    In some cases a client may wish to match a request it sent earlier with a reply it has just received. The client can use the `JMSCorrelationID` header field for this purpose.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSReplyTo` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `replyTo` - `Destination` to which to send a response to this message
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSReplyTo()`

  ### getJMSDestination

      public Destination getJMSDestination()

    Gets the `Destination` object for this message.

    The `JMSDestination` header field contains the destination to which the message is being sent.

    When a message is sent, this field is ignored. After completion of the `send` or `publish` method, the field holds the destination specified by the method.

    When a message is received, its `JMSDestination` value must be equivalent to the value assigned when it was sent.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSDestination` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the destination of this message
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSDestination(Destination)`

  ### setJMSDestination

      public void setJMSDestination(Destination destination)

    Sets the `Destination` object for this message.

    JMS providers set this field when a message is sent. This method can be used to change the value for a message that has been received.

      `getJMSDeliveryMode` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the delivery mode for this message
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSDeliveryMode(int)`, `DeliveryMode`

  ### setJMSDeliveryMode

      public void setJMSDeliveryMode(int deliveryMode)

    Sets the `DeliveryMode` value for this message.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSDeliveryMode` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `deliveryMode` - the delivery mode for this message
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSDeliveryMode()`, `DeliveryMode`

  ### getJMSRedelivered

      public boolean getJMSRedelivered()

    Gets an indication of whether this message is being redelivered.

    If a client receives a message with the `JMSRedelivered` field set, it is likely, but not guaranteed, that this message was delivered earlier but that its receipt was not acknowledged at that time.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSRedelivered` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      true if this message is being redelivered
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSRedelivered(boolean)`

  ### setJMSRedelivered

      public void setJMSRedelivered(boolean redelivered)

    Specified by:
      `setJMSRedelivered` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `redelivered` - an indication of whether this message is being redelivered
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSRedelivered()`

  ### getJMSType

      public String getJMSType()

    Gets the message type identifier supplied by the client when the message was sent.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSType` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the message type
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSType(String)`

  ### setJMSType

      public void setJMSType(String type)

    Sets the message type.

    Some JMS providers use a message repository that contains the definitions of messages sent by applications. The `JMSType` header field may reference a message's definition in the provider's repository.

    The JMS API does not define a standard message definition repository, nor does it define a naming policy for the definitions it contains.

    Some messaging systems require that a message type definition for each application message be created and that each message specify its type. In order to work with such JMS providers, JMS clients should assign a value to `JMSType`, whether the application makes use of it or not. This ensures that the field is properly set for those providers that require it.

    To ensure portability, JMS clients should use symbolic values for `JMSType` that can be configured at installation time to the values defined in the current provider's message repository. If string literals are used, they may not be valid type names for some JMS providers.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSType` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `type` - the message type
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSType()`

  ### getJMSExpiration

      public long getJMSExpiration()

    Gets the message's expiration value.

    When a message is sent, the `JMSExpiration` header field is left unassigned. After completion of the `send` or `publish` method, it holds the expiration time of the message. This is the sum of the time-to-live value specified by the client and the GMT at the time of the `send` or `publish`.

    If the time-to-live is specified as zero, `JMSExpiration` is set to zero to indicate that the message does not expire.

    When a message's expiration time is reached, a provider should discard it. The JMS API does not define any form of notification of message expiration.

    Clients should not receive messages that have expired; however, the JMS API does not guarantee that this will not happen.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSExpiration` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the time the message expires, which is the sum of the time-to-live value specified by the client and the GMT at the time of the send
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSExpiration(long)`

  ### setJMSExpiration

      public void setJMSExpiration(long expiration)

    Sets the message's expiration value.

    JMS providers set this field when a message is sent. This method can be used to change the value for a message that has been received.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSExpiration` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `expiration` - the message's expiration time
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSExpiration()`

  ### getJMSPriority

      public int getJMSPriority()

    Gets the message priority level.

    The JMS API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. In addition, clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority.

    The JMS API does not require that a provider strictly implement priority ordering of messages; however, it should do its best to deliver expedited messages ahead of normal messages.

    Specified by:
      `getJMSPriority` in interface `Message`
    Returns:
      the default message priority
    See Also:
      `Message.setJMSPriority(int)`

  ### setJMSPriority

      public void setJMSPriority(int priority)

    Sets the priority level for this message.

    JMS providers set this field when a message is sent. This method can be used to change the value for a message that has been received.

    Specified by:
      `setJMSPriority` in interface `Message`
    Parameters:
      `priority` - the priority of this message
    See Also:
      `Message.getJMSPriority()`

  ### acknowledge

      public void acknowledge()
                       throws JMSException

    Acknowledges all consumed messages of the session of this consumed message.

    All consumed JMS messages support the `acknowledge` method for use when a client has specified that its JMS session's consumed messages are to be explicitly acknowledged. By invoking `acknowledge` on a consumed message, a client acknowledges all messages consumed by the session that the message was delivered to.

    Calls to `acknowledge` are ignored for both transacted sessions and sessions specified to use implicit acknowledgement modes.

    A client may individually acknowledge each message as it is consumed, or it may choose to acknowledge messages as an application-defined group (which is done by calling acknowledge on the last received message of the group, thereby acknowledging all messages consumed by the session.)

    Messages that have been received but not acknowledged may be redelivered.

    Specified by:
      `acknowledge` in interface `Message`
    Throws:
      `JMSException` - if the JMS provider fails to acknowledge the messages due to some internal error.
      `IllegalStateException` - if this method is called on a closed session.

    If this message body was read-only, calling this method leaves the message body in the same state as an empty body in a newly created message.

    Specified by:
      `clearBody` in interface `Message`
    Throws:
      `JMSException` - if the JMS provider fails to clear the message body due to some internal error.
