Make MapMessage behave more like a Python map.

Would it be possible to at least get direct access to the map object, not only to the names? I am not sure if this would help me, but what i would like to have is a way to know which is the item 'type', so that i can then call the appropriate getter method.

Or is there some other way?

This is a pretty complicated issue. All I have to work with "behind the scenes" in the binding code is what is provided by the CMS API:

http://activemq.apache.org/cms/api_docs/cms-1.2/classcms_1_1_map_message.html

I'll have to take a look at how AMQCPP implements MapMessage: maybe we can propose some extensions to the CMS API to make it easier to implement the functionality you need.
