handleMessage issue with Object?

When trying to use Object in handleMessage...i get the following error..

i see a thread with similar issue..but didnt get that one

Execution of Rabbit message listener failed, and no ErrorHandler has been set.
org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.adapter.L istenerExecutionFailedException: Failed to invoke target method 'handleMessage' with argument type = [class [B], value = [{[B@197f538}]

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:

Do you have the content-type property set on the Message? If not, it will default to application/octet-stream, so the converter passes it as a simple byte array.

I am using jsonMessageConverter as the message convertor. It is working now..not sure what happened..Cleaned the project in STS and restarted my RabbitMQ server and it started working...
