Extract jms text content

Question

I want to extract only jms message text without headers and properties from jms message. To extract JMS header :msg.getJMSCorrelationID(); To extract JMS properties:jmsMessage.getPropertyNames() But how to get only the text value from the message? In the below sample message I want to extract only "hello queue".Is there a java function to do this?

If the message body is a text message (Plain text or XML), it can be extracted like the following.

String msgBody = ((TextMessage) message).getText();

The JMS 2.0 API exposes the additional method <T> T getBody(Class<T> c) in the Message interface.

If your Message broker or the source is JMS 2.0 compliant, then we extract the message body in a much more clean way without object cast as follows.

String msgBody = message.getBody(String.class);
