/**
* CommsMessage class provides container for message payload. It provides an
* interface to manipulate payload as if it was input/output stream.
*
* Comms message consists of header fields and message body.
* Header is used to route message to correct endpoint and listener.
* Header consists of following fields:
* - module id, identifies which listener is used to handle message
* - message id, identifies message
* - receiver, identifies receiving endpoint
* - sender, identifies sending endpoint
* - message reference, identifies message
*
* Message payload can be read and write using stream operations (<<, >>).
* Message can contain multiple items (ints, strings etc) that must be
* read in the same order as they were originally written.
*
* There is no limit to message size but some other interprocess communication mechanism
* should be considered if message sizes exceed 60k bytes.
*
* Usage:
* It is important that application fills message headers correctly as
* message routing and dispatching is done based on header information.
* Following headers should be set always: module id, message id, message reference
* and receiver.
* @code
* CommsMessage msg;
*
* // Following headers must be set always
* msg.setModuleId(MY_MODULE_ID);
* msg.setMessageId(MY_MESSAGE_ID);
*
* // Following header should be set if replying
* msg.setMessageRef(aMesssage.getMessageRef());
*
* // If CommsServerEndpoint is used then also receiver header must be filled
* msg.setReceiver(aMessage.getSender());
*
* // or use replyTo() method instead of setting each header field separately
*
* // Message payload can be written using insert operator
* msg << "this is a string" << 1234 << L"this is a wstring";
*
* // Message payload can be read using extract operator
* std::string s;
* std::wstring w;
* int i;
* msg >> s >> i >> w;
* @endcode
*
* @see CommsListener, CommsEndpoint
