## Interface TextMessage

All Superinterfaces:
  Message

    public interface TextMessage
    extends Message

A `TextMessage` object is used to send a message containing a `java.lang.String`. It inherits from the `Message` interface and adds a text message body.

This message type can be used to transport text-based messages, including those with XML content.

When a client receives a `TextMessage`, it is in read-only mode. If a client attempts to write to the message at this point, a `MessageNotWriteableException` is thrown. If `clearBody` is called, the message can now be both read from and written to.

  `Session.createTextMessage()`, `Session.createTextMessage(String)`, `BytesMessage`, `MapMessage`, `Message`, `ObjectMessage`, `StreamMessage`, `String`
