/** The <CODE>Message</CODE> interface is the root interface of all JMS
* messages. It defines the message header and the <CODE>acknowledge</CODE>
* method used for all messages.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>With this in mind, the JMS message model has the following goals:
* <UL>
* <LI>Provide a single, unified message API
* <LI>Provide an API suitable for creating messages that match the
* format used by provider-native messaging applications
* <LI>Support the development of heterogeneous applications that span
* operating systems, machine architectures, and computer languages
* <LI>Support messages containing objects in the Java programming language
* ("Java objects")
* <LI>Support messages containing Extensible Markup Language (XML) pages
* </UL>
*
* <P>JMS messages are composed of the following parts:
* <UL>
* <LI>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.
* <LI>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.
* <LI>Body - The JMS API defines several types of message body, which cover
* the majority of messaging styles currently in use.
* </UL>
*
* <H4>Message Bodies</H4>
*
* <P>The JMS API defines five types of message body:
* <UL>
* <LI>Stream - A <CODE>StreamMessage</CODE> object's message body contains
* a stream of primitive values in the Java programming
* language ("Java primitives"). It is filled and read sequentially.
* <LI>Map - A <CODE>MapMessage</CODE> object's message body contains a set
* of name-value pairs, where names are <CODE>String</CODE>
* objects, and values are Java primitives. The entries can be accessed
* sequentially or randomly by name. The order of the entries is
* undefined.
* <LI>Text - A <CODE>TextMessage</CODE> object's message body contains a
* <CODE>java.lang.String</CODE> object. This message type can be used
* to transport plain-text messages, and XML messages.
* <LI>Object - An <CODE>ObjectMessage</CODE> object's message body contains
* a <CODE>Serializable</CODE> Java object.
* <LI>Bytes - A <CODE>BytesMessage</CODE> 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.
* </UL>
*
* <H4>Message Headers</H4>
*
* <P>The <CODE>JMSCorrelationID</CODE> header field is used for linking one
* message with
* another. It typically links a reply message with its requesting message.
*
* <P><CODE>JMSCorrelationID</CODE> can hold a provider-specific message ID,
* an application-specific <CODE>String</CODE> object, or a provider-native
* <CODE>byte[]</CODE> value.
*
* <H4>Message Properties</H4>
*
* <P>A <CODE>Message</CODE> 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.
*
* <P>Properties allow an application, via message selectors, to have a JMS
* provider select, or filter, messages on its behalf using
* application-specific criteria.
*
* <P>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
* <CODE>IllegalArgumentException</CODE> must be thrown.
*
* <P>Property values can be <CODE>boolean</CODE>, <CODE>byte</CODE>,
* <CODE>short</CODE>, <CODE>int</CODE>, <CODE>long</CODE>, <CODE>float</CODE>,
* <CODE>double</CODE>, and <CODE>String</CODE>.
*
* <P>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
* <CODE>MessageNotWriteableException</CODE> is thrown. If
* <CODE>clearProperties</CODE> 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.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>Message properties support the following conversion table. The marked
* cases must be supported. The unmarked cases must throw a
* <CODE>JMSException</CODE>. The <CODE>String</CODE>-to-primitive conversions
* may throw a runtime exception if the
* primitive's <CODE>valueOf</CODE> method does not accept the
* <CODE>String</CODE> as a valid representation of the primitive.
*
* <P>A value written as the row type can be read as the column type.
*
* <PRE>
* | | 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
* |----------------------------------------------------------
* </PRE>
*
* <P>In addition to the type-specific set/get methods for properties, JMS
* provides the <CODE>setObjectProperty</CODE> and
* <CODE>getObjectProperty</CODE> 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.
*
* <P>The <CODE>setObjectProperty</CODE> method accepts values of class
* <CODE>Boolean</CODE>, <CODE>Byte</CODE>, <CODE>Short</CODE>,
* <CODE>Integer</CODE>, <CODE>Long</CODE>, <CODE>Float</CODE>,
* <CODE>Double</CODE>, and <CODE>String</CODE>. An attempt
* to use any other class must throw a <CODE>JMSException</CODE>.
*
* <P>The <CODE>getObjectProperty</CODE> method only returns values of class
* <CODE>Boolean</CODE>, <CODE>Byte</CODE>, <CODE>Short</CODE>,
* <CODE>Integer</CODE>, <CODE>Long</CODE>, <CODE>Float</CODE>,
* <CODE>Double</CODE>, and <CODE>String</CODE>.
*
* <P>The order of property values is not defined. To iterate through a
* message's property values, use <CODE>getPropertyNames</CODE> to retrieve
* a property name enumeration and then use the various property get methods
* to retrieve their values.
*
* <P>A message's properties are deleted by the <CODE>clearProperties</CODE>
* method. This leaves the message with an empty set of properties.
*
* <P>Getting a property value for a name which has not been set returns a
* null value. Only the <CODE>getStringProperty</CODE> and
* <CODE>getObjectProperty</CODE> 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 <CODE>valueOf(String)</CODE>
* conversion method with a null value.
*
* <P>The JMS API reserves the <CODE>JMSX</CODE> 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
* <CODE>String[] ConnectionMetaData.getJMSXPropertyNames</CODE> method
* returns the names of the JMSX properties supported by a connection.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P><CODE>JMSXGroupID</CODE> and <CODE>JMSXGroupSeq</CODE> 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.
*
* <P>The JMS API reserves the <CODE>JMS_<I>vendor_name</I></CODE> property
* name prefix for provider-specific properties. Each provider defines its own
* value for <CODE><I>vendor_name</I></CODE>. This is the mechanism a JMS
* provider uses to make its special per-message services available to a JMS
* client.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <H4>Provider Implementations of JMS Message Interfaces</H4>
*
* <P>The JMS API provides a set of message interfaces that define the JMS
* message
* model. It does not provide implementations of these interfaces.
*
* <P>Each JMS provider supplies a set of message factories with its
* <CODE>Session</CODE> object for creating instances of messages. This allows
* a provider to use message implementations tailored to its specific needs.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>Note the following exception case when a provider is handling a foreign
* message implementation. If the foreign message implementation contains a
* <CODE>JMSReplyTo</CODE> 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.
*
* <H4>Message Selectors</H4>
*
* <P>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 <CODE>MessageConsumer</CODE> being used (see
* {@link javax.jms.QueueReceiver QueueReceiver} and
* {@link javax.jms.TopicSubscriber TopicSubscriber}).
*
* <P>Message selectors cannot reference message body values.
*
* <P>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.
*
* <P>A message selector is a <CODE>String</CODE> 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.
*
* <P>The order of evaluation of a message selector is from left to right
* within precedence level. Parentheses can be used to change this order.
*
* <P>Predefined selector literals and operator names are shown here in
* uppercase; however, they are case insensitive.
*
* <P>A selector can contain:
*
* <UL>
* <LI>Literals:
* <UL>
* <LI>A string literal is enclosed in single quotes, with a single quote
* represented by doubled single quote; for example,
* <CODE>'literal'</CODE> and <CODE>'literal''s'</CODE>. Like
* string literals in the Java programming language, these use the
* Unicode character encoding.
* <LI>An exact numeric literal is a numeric value without a decimal
* point, such as <CODE>57</CODE>, <CODE>-957</CODE>, and
* <CODE>+62</CODE>; numbers in the range of <CODE>long</CODE> are
* supported. Exact numeric literals use the integer literal
* syntax of the Java programming language.
* <LI>An approximate numeric literal is a numeric value in scientific
* notation, such as <CODE>7E3</CODE> and <CODE>-57.9E2</CODE>, or a
* numeric value with a decimal, such as <CODE>7.</CODE>,
* <CODE>-95.7</CODE>, and <CODE>+6.2</CODE>; numbers in the range of
* <CODE>double</CODE> are supported. Approximate literals use the
* floating-point literal syntax of the Java programming language.
* <LI>The boolean literals <CODE>TRUE</CODE> and <CODE>FALSE</CODE>.
* </UL>
* <LI>Identifiers:
* <UL>
* <LI>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 <CODE>Character.isJavaLetter</CODE>
* returns true. This includes <CODE>'_'</CODE> and <CODE>'$'</CODE>.
* A letter or digit is any character for which the method
* <CODE>Character.isJavaLetterOrDigit</CODE> returns true.
* <LI>Identifiers cannot be the names <CODE>NULL</CODE>,
* <CODE>TRUE</CODE>, and <CODE>FALSE</CODE>.
* <LI>Identifiers cannot be <CODE>NOT</CODE>, <CODE>AND</CODE>,
* <CODE>OR</CODE>, <CODE>BETWEEN</CODE>, <CODE>LIKE</CODE>,
* <CODE>IN</CODE>, <CODE>IS</CODE>, or <CODE>ESCAPE</CODE>.
* <LI>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
* <CODE>NULL</CODE>.
* <LI>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:
* <PRE>myMessage.setStringProperty("NumberOfOrders", "2");</PRE>
* The following expression in a message selector would evaluate to
* false, because a string cannot be used in an arithmetic expression:
* <PRE>"NumberOfOrders > 1"</PRE>
* <LI>Identifiers are case-sensitive.
* <LI>Message header field references are restricted to
* <CODE>JMSDeliveryMode</CODE>, <CODE>JMSPriority</CODE>,
* <CODE>JMSMessageID</CODE>, <CODE>JMSTimestamp</CODE>,
* <CODE>JMSCorrelationID</CODE>, and <CODE>JMSType</CODE>.
* <CODE>JMSMessageID</CODE>, <CODE>JMSCorrelationID</CODE>, and
* <CODE>JMSType</CODE> values may be null and if so are treated as a
* <CODE>NULL</CODE> value.
* <LI>Any name beginning with <CODE>'JMSX'</CODE> is a JMS defined
* property name.
* <LI>Any name beginning with <CODE>'JMS_'</CODE> is a provider-specific
* property name.
* <LI>Any name that does not begin with <CODE>'JMS'</CODE> is an
* application-specific property name.
* </UL>
* <LI>White space is the same as that defined for the Java programming
* language: space, horizontal tab, form feed, and line terminator.
* <LI>Expressions:
* <UL>
* <LI>A selector is a conditional expression; a selector that evaluates
* to <CODE>true</CODE> matches; a selector that evaluates to
* <CODE>false</CODE> or unknown does not match.
* <LI>Arithmetic expressions are composed of themselves, arithmetic
* operations, identifiers (whose value is treated as a numeric
* literal), and numeric literals.
* <LI>Conditional expressions are composed of themselves, comparison
* operations, and logical operations.
* </UL>
* <LI>Standard bracketing <CODE>()</CODE> for ordering expression evaluation
* is supported.
* <LI>Logical operators in precedence order: <CODE>NOT</CODE>,
* <CODE>AND</CODE>, <CODE>OR</CODE>
* <LI>Comparison operators: <CODE>=</CODE>, <CODE>></CODE>, <CODE>>=</CODE>,
* <CODE><</CODE>, <CODE><=</CODE>, <CODE><></CODE> (not equal)
* <UL>
* <LI>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
* <CODE>NULL</CODE>, the value of the expression is unknown.
* <LI>String and boolean comparison is restricted to <CODE>=</CODE> and
* <CODE><></CODE>. Two strings are equal
* if and only if they contain the same sequence of characters.
* </UL>
* <LI>Arithmetic operators in precedence order:
* <UL>
* <LI><CODE>+</CODE>, <CODE>-</CODE> (unary)
* <LI><CODE>*</CODE>, <CODE>/</CODE> (multiplication and division)
* <LI><CODE>+</CODE>, <CODE>-</CODE> (addition and subtraction)
* <LI>Arithmetic operations must use numeric promotion in the Java
* programming language.
* </UL>
* <LI><CODE><I>arithmetic-expr1</I> [NOT] BETWEEN <I>arithmetic-expr2</I>
* AND <I>arithmetic-expr3</I></CODE> (comparison operator)
* <UL>
* <LI><CODE>"age BETWEEN 15 AND 19"</CODE> is
* equivalent to
* <CODE>"age >= 15 AND age <= 19"</CODE>
* <LI><CODE>"age NOT BETWEEN 15 AND 19"</CODE>

* <UL>
* <LI><CODE>"Country IN (' UK', 'US', 'France')"</CODE>

* unknown.
* </UL>
* <LI><CODE><I>identifier</I> [NOT] LIKE <I>pattern-value</I> [ESCAPE
* <I>escape-character</I>]</CODE> (comparison operator, where
* <CODE><I>identifier</I></CODE> has a <CODE>String</CODE> value;
* <CODE><I>pattern-value</I></CODE> is a string literal where
* <CODE>'_'</CODE> stands for any single character; <CODE>'%'</CODE>
* stands for any sequence of characters, including the empty sequence;
* and all other characters stand for themselves. The optional
* <CODE><I>escape-character</I></CODE> is a single-character string
* literal whose character is used to escape the special meaning of the
* <CODE>'_'</CODE> and <CODE>'%'</CODE> in
* <CODE><I>pattern-value</I></CODE>.)
* <UL>
* <LI><CODE>"phone LIKE '12%3'"</CODE> is true for

* tests for the existence of a non-null header field value or a property
* value)
* <UL>
* <LI><CODE>"prop_name IS NOT NULL"</CODE>
* </UL>
*
* <P>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 <CODE>JMSException</CODE>.
* 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.
*
* <P>The following message selector selects messages with a message type
* of car and color of blue and weight greater than 2500 pounds:
*
* <PRE>"JMSType = 'car' AND color = 'blue' AND weight > 2500"</PRE>
*
* <H4>Null Values</H4>
*
* <P>As noted above, property values may be <CODE>NULL</CODE>. The evaluation
* of selector expressions containing <CODE>NULL</CODE> values is defined by
* SQL92 <CODE>NULL</CODE> semantics. A brief description of these semantics
* is provided here.
*
* <P>SQL treats a <CODE>NULL</CODE> value as unknown. Comparison or arithmetic
* with an unknown value always yields an unknown value.
*
* <P>The <CODE>IS NULL</CODE> and <CODE>IS NOT NULL</CODE> operators convert
* an unknown value into the respective <CODE>TRUE</CODE> and
* <CODE>FALSE</CODE> values.
*
* <P>The boolean operators use three-valued logic as defined by the
* following tables:
*
* <P><B>The definition of the <CODE>AND</CODE> operator</B>
*
* <PRE>
* | AND | T | F | U
* +------+-------+-------+-------
* | T | T | F | U
* | F | F | F | F
* | U | U | F | U
* +------+-------+-------+-------

*
* <PRE>
* | NOT
* +------+------
* | T | F
* | F | T
* | U | U
* +------+-------
* </PRE>
*
* <H4>Special Notes</H4>
*
* <P>When used in a message selector, the <CODE>JMSDeliveryMode</CODE> header
* field is treated as having the values <CODE>'PERSISTENT'</CODE> and
* <CODE>'NON_PERSISTENT'</CODE>.
*
* <P>Date and time values should use the standard <CODE>long</CODE>
* 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
* <CODE>java.util.Calendar</CODE>.
*
* <P>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).
*
* <P>SQL comments are not supported.
