[jira] [Commented] (JAMES-1241) Mail Attributes retrieved as String even though set as Boolean

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13189124#comment-13189124 ]

-----------------------------------------

Hi, 

I'm having a similar problem when I try to set a Mail attribute value to an instance of one of my own classes. According to the JavaDoc http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/jms/Message.html,

"The setObjectProperty method accepts values of class Boolean, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, and String. An attempt to use any other class must throw a JMSException.
The getObjectProperty method only returns values of class Boolean, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, and String."

I'm not getting a JMSException, but I'm getting a String back when trying to read the attribute, just as in the description of this issue. The SVN-commit to this issue looks like it assumes that set-/getObjectProperty can work with any Serializable, not just Boolean, Byte, ..., String. Isn't that a dangerous assumption?

Thanks!
