       public class MessageTran extends MessageTransformer <Message, Message> {

                                boolean readOnly,
                                String charsetName,

          Message m = message;
          if (source.equals(STOMP)) { //from STOMP client to Java Message Queue
              //convert any invalid headers from STOMP SEND frame
              if (properties != null) {
                  ......
                  //convert key to valid JMS message property name, then call m.setStringProperty()
                  ......
              }

          } else if (source.equals(SUN_MQ)) { //from Java Message Queue to STOMP client

              if (message instanceof ObjectMessage) {

                  //create a new BytesMessage for message to be transformed to
                  BytesMessage bm = (BytesMessage)createJMSMessage(JMSMessageType.BYTESMESSAGE);

                  //convert message to the BytesMessage

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### SUN_MQ

          public static final String SUN_MQ

      The predefined provider name for JMS message to/from Sun Java Message Queue
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### STOMP

          public static final String STOMP

      The predefined provider name for JMS message to/from STOMP client

        Constant Field Values

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### MessageTransformer

          public MessageTransformer()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

          public final void init(Object obj,
                  String bridgeType)

      This method is called by the bridge service before transform() is called. A message transformer object is initialized by init() each time before transform() is called. After transform() returns, it's back to uninitialized state.

    - #### getBranchTo

          public final Object getBranchTo()

      This method is called by the bridge service after transform() is returned for bridge types that support branchTo()

    - #### isNoTransfer

          public final boolean isNoTransfer()

      This method is called by the bridge service after transform() is returned for bridge types that support noTransfer()

    - #### createJMSMessage

          protected final Message createJMSMessage(MessageTransformer.JMSMessageType type)
