# TibrvMsg

Class

## Declaration

    class com.tibco.tibrv.TibrvMsg
      extends java.lang.Object

## Purpose

Represent Rendezvous messages.

## Remarks

This class has no `destroy()` method. Instead, the Java garbage collector reclaims storage automatically. Nonetheless it is possible to explicitly manage native message storage; see TibrvMsg.dispose().
