/** A <CODE>StreamMessage</CODE> object is used to send a stream of primitive
* types in the Java programming language. It is filled and read sequentially.
* It inherits from the <CODE>Message</CODE> interface
* and adds a stream message body. Its methods are based largely on those
* found in <CODE>java.io.DataInputStream</CODE> and
* <CODE>java.io.DataOutputStream</CODE>.
*
* <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>StreamMessage.writeInt(6)</CODE> is
* equivalent to <CODE>StreamMessage.writeObject(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 the message is first created, and when <CODE>clearBody</CODE>
* is called, the body of the message is in write-only mode. After the
* first call to <CODE>reset</CODE> has been made, the message body is in
* read-only mode.
* After a message has been sent, the client that sent it can retain and
* modify it without affecting the message that has been sent. The same message
* object can be sent multiple times.
* When a message has been received, the provider has called
* <CODE>reset</CODE> so that the message body is in read-only mode for the client.
*
* <P>If <CODE>clearBody</CODE> is called on a message in read-only mode,
* the message body is cleared and the message body is in write-only mode.
*
* <P>If a client attempts to read a message in write-only mode, a
* <CODE>MessageNotReadableException</CODE> is thrown.
*
* <P>If a client attempts to write a message in read-only mode, a
* <CODE>MessageNotWriteableException</CODE> is thrown.
*
* <P><CODE>StreamMessage</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.
