> The function signature
>     virtual const IChannel&		operator >> (const char * msg)=0;
> from IChannel.h should not have the parameter be const. The correct signature should be:
>     virtual const IChannel&		operator >> (char * msg)=0;
> Input streaming operators are non-const. The value of msg will be overwritten by the operator by definition.  This function is implemented by casting away const.
> Note: this functions signature is also used in the axis2 IChannel interface.
> Note: that this function is inherently dangerous as it assumes that msg points to at least BUF_SIZE storage. Using a std::string or std::vector<char> would be a better choice.
