"... plus encryption of data, plus a general purpose extensibility element"

I'm printing that one off and posting it on the wall.  It's a gem :-)

Yeah also with respect to:

just a byte array for anything that wasn't an Object, e.g., a stream in

for bytes, get a stream out of bytes

Isn't everything in java an object? Is this for compatibility across

languages and platforms then?

While your at that, perhaps we should provide hard examples of

why/when one would attach objects to Message.Attachment Vs

Message.Body.  From the position of someone just using the API (Vs the

author), these classes look as though they do pretty much the same thing.

Maybe the javadoc too then?

I'm going to update the manual then, because it's obviously as clear

Ah that's helps :).

Yeah what I'm after is that there need to be a way to get the whole

thing. Sometimes you have no clue what's been set, so there

should be way to "Get me the whole thing".

There has been a lot of confusion on how to set the body

object(s), and

I think that we should get the word out that the

'right' way of doing this is to use:

message.getBody().add(Body.DEFAULT_NAME, your object)

There is no single "right" way. This is a default/convenience. The

way it's supposed to happen is that the endpoints agree (via the

contract definition) where in the body specific contents go (what

names, for example).

add(Object o) // <-- no parameter, is just for lazy developers ;-)

The thing I don't really understand is why getByteArray does not

stream

all the objects into the ByteArray? I guess I don't really

understand

why we have the "_content" in addition to it; taken from the

BodyImpl class:

Because that's the definition of getByteArray. It's not meant to

be the entire contents of the message, just a byte array for

anything that wasn't an Object, e.g., a stream in for bytes, get a

stream out of bytes. But not mutually exclusive to the named

objects, attachments etc.

What you're after would probably be: getBodyAsByteArray

Mark.

public BodyImpl()

    {

        _content = null;

        _objects = new Hashtable<String, Object>();

    }

Thx,
