Description

Add with() methods for primitives and Object:

• with(String, boolean)
• with(String, byte)
• with(String, char)
• with(String, double)
• with(String, float)
• with(String, int)
• with(String, long)
• with(String, Object)
• with(String, short)

This one already exists:

• with(String, String)

This parallels what you can do with a JMS MapMessage.

The following protected methods have also been added:

• validate(String, boolean)
• validate(String, byte)
• validate(String, char)
• validate(String, double)
• validate(String, float)
• validate(String, int)
• validate(String, long)
• validate(String, Object)
• validate(String, short)

The method validate(String, String) already exists.

In 2.8.2, MapMessage managed a Map<String, String>.

In 2.9:

• MapMessage is now declared with generics to define what kind of values are managed.
• The new Subclass StringMapMessage is typed specifically to deal with String values.

The StringMapMessage class does not perform any type conversion or checks.
