Thanks for the response, Tim. I think I too will go with method 2. I looked at the Bridge code and am myself using an identical one. One problem I am facing is that it gives an exception while setting the property JMSXDeliveryCount. It seems to be an internal property and Jboss Messaging doesn't allow adding it. But in the Bridge code if such an exception occurs in setObjectProperty, and since the exception is not handled in the method, is it possible that some properties may not be added?
