how to add additional data in message asmack/smack?

I am sending a message with (a)Smack and Openfire server. I am successfully able to send message with the message body. Now i need to send some additional data with the message. I don't want to append the string to the data and then process it after receiving. Is there any other approach? or with extensions?

You can use setProperty and getProperty method.

At sending end:

Message msg=new Message("jid", Message.Type.chat);
msg.setProperty("key", "value");
connection.sendMessage(msg);

At receiving end:

PacketFilter filter = new MessageTypeFilter(Message.Type.chat);
    packetListner=new PacketListener() {
        public void processPacket(Packet packet) {

            Message message = (Message) packet;
            String myData=message.getProperty("key").toString();
        }
    };
    connection.addPacketListener(packetListner, filter);

Use a custom PacketExtension.
