/**
* An {@code ObjectMessage} object is used to send a message that contains a serializable object in the Java programming
* language ("Java object"). It inherits from the {@code Message} interface and adds a body containing a single
* reference to an object. Only {@code Serializable} Java objects can be used.
*
*
* If a collection of Java objects must be sent, one of the {@code Collection} classes provided since JDK 1.2 can be
* used.
*
*
* When a client receives an {@code ObjectMessage}, it is in read-only mode. If a client attempts to write to the
* message at this point, a {@code MessageNotWriteableException} is thrown. If {@code clearBody} is called, the message
* can now be both read from and written to.
