passing raw message to MessageListenerAdapter handler method fails

[nadia.tishutina]

MessageListenerAdapter API says that handler methods can accept raw Method types. When I send Message with custom properties in the Producer as

Message message = new Message("<xml>NST description</xml>".getBytes(),
				messageProperties);

		template.convertAndSend(message);

and then define handler method as

public void handleMessage(Message NSTmessage) {

I am getting the following exception:
org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.ListenerE xecutionFailedException: Failed to invoke target method 'handleMessage' with argument type = [class [B], value = [{[B@7e938b4a}]

Please help! When I do same thing with Strings, it works.
