All Implemented Interfaces:
SectionIF

public class MessageAnnotations extends Annotations implements SectionIF

The message-annotations section is used for properties of the message which are aimed at the infrastructure and should be propagated across every delivery step. Message annotations convey information about the message. Intermediaries MUST propagate the annotations unless the annotations are explicitly augmented or modified (e.g., by the use of the outcome).

The capabilities negotiated on link and on the and may be used to establish which annotations a peer understands; however, in a network of AMQP intermediaries it may not be possible to know if every intermediary will understand the annotation. Note that for some annotations it may not be necessary for the intermediary to understand their purpose, i.e., they could be used purely as an attribute which can be filtered on.

A registry of defined annotations and their meanings is maintained [ AMQPMESSANN ].

If the message-annotations section is omitted, it is equivalent to a message-annotations section containing an empty map of annotations.
