[rabbitmq-discuss] How to check if custom headers attribute exist

[Tim Watson]

BasicProperties#getHeaders() returns a Map, so Map#get(key) will return `null' if the key isn't present. It's your #toString() on `null' that is likely causing the problem. You could also call Map#containsKey("FirstName") instead of checking for `null' if you prefer.

Cheers,
Tim
