OK, so you're not specifying 2 explicitly?  Or are you negotiating the 
version?  Because for 1.3, the default version will change to 3, so an 
instance running with JBMAR 1.2 won't be able to read messages written by 
an instance running with JBMAR 1.3 by default then.  You might want to 
ensure that you've got a way to set the version somehow, especially as 
JBossAS 6 will ship with a JBMAR 1.3.something.

It's a simple serializable class which holds two values of different types. 
  It uses generics for type-safety as well; each value may be of a 
different type.  Amazingly handy. :)
