Adding/Receiving custom JMS Headers/Properties (OSB)

OSB Project download - https://sites.google.com/site/jazipfilestorage/files/JMSHeader.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

In this post..  

I hope to describe how to attach non standard JMS headers/properties onto a queue, and then read these off at the next flow. This post assumes the following prior knowledge: 

• How to create Business service's that write to JMS Queue's
• How to create Proxy service's that read from a JMS Queue
• A JMS Queue set up on your server -> Mine is called 'example' 

Possible uses:

• Passing additional information between flows 
• Storing properties which can be used for message selectors 

Breaking the ice

As with all blogs, a first post has to be completed before the blog can be defined as a blog.

Over the next couple of months, I'm hoping to capture a lot of the knowledge I gained when working with Oracle service bus, I am hoping I will be able to at least help a couple of people who are struggling as I did, along what can only be described as the OSB Brick wall.

I wish you all the best of luck, and I will try my hardest to answer questions along the way.
