Adding headers to bridge events does not work (in javascript and in groovy on 3.2)

[cinterloper]

(moved from vert-x3/lang-js)
here is my example repo:
https://github.com/cinterloper/vertx-tinkering

according to this documentation:
http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-web/js/#_sockjs_event_bus_bridge

i should be able to add 'headers' (username, etc) to a message coming across the sockjs bridge

sockJSHandler.bridge(options, function (be) {
if (be.type() === 'PUBLISH' || be.type() === 'SEND') {
// Add some headers
var headers = {
"header1" : "val",
"header2" : "val2"
};
be.rawMessage().headers = headers;
}
be.complete(true);
}
however, when receiving the message (in the same vertical or in other verticals) i am unable to retrieve the headers

Hey guys, i have updated the repo above
unless im doing something wrong, this also appears to be broken in Groovy - is there a unit test for headers?

What do you mean by "broken in groovy" ? Do you have header working in a JS verticle and not in a Groovy verticle ?

[cinterloper]

I have updated the readme here:
https://github.com/cinterloper/vertx-tinkering

what I mean is, as far as i can tell, following the instructions on vertx.io, adding headers at the bridge does not work in either JavaScript or Groovy

it is due to the fact that rawMessage() makes a copy of the original JsonObject. To solve it we need to have a setRawMessage(JsonObject) and add in the doc that a modified message should be set.

This is the case in the JS API, although in the Java API a reference to the uncopied object is returned.

Fixed in the related project.
