Class MessageHeaders

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.integration.MessageHeaders
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

public final class MessageHeaders
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>, java.io.Serializable

The headers for a Message.
IMPORTANT: MessageHeaders are immutable. Any mutating operation (e.g., put(..), putAll(..) etc.) will result in UnsupportedOperationException To create MessageHeaders instance use fluent MessageBuilder API

 MessageBuilder.withPayload("foo").setHeader("key1", "value1").setHeader("key2", "value2");
 
or create an instance of GenericMessage passing payload as Object and headers as a regular Map
 Map headers = new HashMap();
 headers.put("key1", "value1");
 headers.put("key2", "value2");
 new GenericMessage("foo", headers);
