AMQP/STOMP just transport sacks of bytes around. They care little about 
the internal structure of those byte sequences. They make you expose 
enough structure to do routing, and that's it. Usually routing is done 
on a single string attached as metadata to the binary blob du jour.

So you will need to pick a serialization/pickling/marshalling framework 
to use to turn portions of your Smalltalk object graph (or, if you're 
lucky, tree) into a byte string - then route that via 
AMQP/STOMP/MQTT/whatever - then deserialize again at the other end.

I'm out of date wrt nice ways to serialize Smalltalk objects! What do 
people recommend these days?
