/** A <CODE>MapMessage</CODE> object is used to send a set of name-value pairs.
  * The names are <CODE>String</CODE> objects, and the values are primitive 
  * data types in the Java programming language. The names must have a value that
  * is not null, and not an empty string. The entries can be accessed 
  * sequentially or randomly by name. The order of the entries is undefined. 
  * <CODE>MapMessage</CODE> inherits from the <CODE>Message</CODE> interface
  * and adds a message body that contains a Map.
  *
  * <P>The primitive types can be read or written explicitly using methods
  * for each type. They may also be read or written generically as objects.
  * For instance, a call to <CODE>MapMessage.setInt("foo", 6)</CODE> is 
  * equivalent to <CODE>MapMessage.setObject("foo", new Integer(6))</CODE>.
  * Both forms are provided, because the explicit form is convenient for
  * static programming, and the object form is needed when types are not known
  * at compile time.
  *
  * <P>When a client receives a <CODE>MapMessage</CODE>, it is in read-only 
  * mode. If a client attempts to write to the message at this point, a 
  * <CODE>MessageNotWriteableException</CODE> is thrown. If 
  * <CODE>clearBody</CODE> is called, the message can now be both read from and 
  * written to.
  *
  * <P><CODE>MapMessage</CODE> objects support the following conversion table. 
  * The marked cases must be supported. The unmarked cases must throw a 
  * <CODE>JMSException</CODE>. The <CODE>String</CODE>-to-primitive conversions 
  * may throw a runtime exception if the primitive's <CODE>valueOf()</CODE> 
  * method does not accept it as a valid <CODE>String</CODE> representation of 
  * the primitive.
  *
  * <P>A value written as the row type can be read as the column type.
