All Implemented Interfaces:
  MessageConverter

Direct Known Subclasses:
  SimpleMessageConverter102

    public class SimpleMessageConverter

extends Object
implements MessageConverter

A simple message converter which is able to handle TextMessages, BytesMessages, MapMessages, and ObjectMessages. Used as default conversion strategy by `JmsTemplate`, for `convertAndSend` and `receiveAndConvert` operations.

Converts a String to a `TextMessage`, a byte array to a `BytesMessage`, a Map to a `MapMessage`, and a Serializable object to a `ObjectMessage` (or vice versa).
