Dear all,
We're having some discussions within our team on how to use message header fields. A bit of background: One of our applications decodes binary data, and splits that into usable data. Possible outcomes are int, long, float, double, Boolean, byte[], and possibly others we haven't implemented support for yet. These pieces of data each have a name and a reception timestamp. We see two solutions, but can't agree on which is the right one. A) Put the int, float, byte[], whatever, in the message body. Add header fields for name and timestamp. B) Have a class that has three fields: name, timestamp, and value (of type Object, so it can hold anything). Which one would you prefer, for what reasons?
