JMS enhancements supporting MapMessage

[Jeppe <Je...@smarttrust.com>]

I explored the source for the JMS binding component and found that
MapMessages are not supported.

I would suggest that MapMessages support are added to the JMS component.

A simple way to use this is to create a very simple XML-mapping format for a
map message. For example a root element with a subelement named according to
the keys in the MapMessage and the content of the element the value of the
entry for the simple types and the XML-beans format for Objects, arrays
could also be encoded according to the XML-beans standard

<mapMessage>
<name>John Doe</name>
<address>Main Street 1A</address>
<anIntArray>
<!-- The XML-beans encoding of an array object -->
</anIntArray>
<theGuiFrameSettings>
<!-- the XML-beans encoding of the GUI frames object
</theGuiFrameSettings>
</mapMessage>

What do you think? Is anybody willing to do this? If not I could give it a
try, though I expect it would need to be peer-reviewed quite thourougly as I
have not done any development in ServiceMix before

Sounds good to me. You might wanna allow an XSD type to be specified
so that the values can be ints / floats / doubles and so forth rather
than all strings.
