Class MessageHeaders

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.messaging.MessageHeaders

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Direct Known Subclasses:

MessageHeaderAccessor.MutableMessageHeaders

public 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: This class is immutable. Any mutating operation such as put(..), putAll(..) and others will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

Subclasses do have access to the raw headers, however, via getRawHeaders().

One way to create message headers is to use the MessageBuilder:

 MessageBuilder.withPayload("foo").setHeader("key1", "value1").setHeader("key2", "value2");
 

A second option is to create GenericMessage passing a payload as Object and headers as a java.util.Map:

 Map headers = new HashMap();
 headers.put("key1", "value1");
 headers.put("key2", "value2");
 new GenericMessage("foo", headers);
 

A third option is to use MessageHeaderAccessor or one of its subclasses to create specific categories of headers.

Since:

4.0

Field Detail

ID_VALUE_NONE

public static final java.util.UUID ID_VALUE_NONE

ID

public static final java.lang.String ID

The key for the Message ID. This is an automatically generated UUID and should never be explicitly set in the header map except in the case of Message deserialization where the serialized Message's generated UUID is being restored.

Constructor Detail

MessageHeaders

public MessageHeaders(@Nullable
                      java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> headers)

Construct a MessageHeaders with the given headers. An ID and TIMESTAMP headers will also be added, overriding any existing values.

Parameters:

headers - a map with headers to add

MessageHeaders

protected MessageHeaders(@Nullable
                         java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> headers,
                         @Nullable
                         java.util.UUID id,
                         @Nullable
                         java.lang.Long timestamp)

Constructor providing control over the ID and TIMESTAMP header values.

Parameters:

headers - a map with headers to add

id - the ID header value

timestamp - the TIMESTAMP header value

MessageHeaders

private MessageHeaders(MessageHeaders original,
                       java.util.Set<java.lang.String> keysToIgnore)
