Native format tunneling
First Claim
1. In an application integration system that communicates messages between applications, a computer-implemented method for transmitting electronic messages that preserves a message format native to both a sending application and at least one receiving application, the method comprising:
- receiving a message from the sending application, the message having a message format used by the sending application;
wrapping the message in a markup language file envelope;
routing the markup language file envelope with the message through the application integration system;
unwrapping the message from the markup language file envelope; and
transmitting the message according to the message format to the receiving application.

Abstract
Systems and techniques are disclosed for transmitting a message through an application integration system without having to converting the message from a format that native to both a sending application and a receiving application. A computer-implemented method for transmitting a message from a sending application through an application integration system includes determining a receiving application of the message, and determining a file format used by the receiving application. If the file format used by the receiving application is substantially identical to a file format used by the sending application, the method includes wrapping the message in a markup language file envelope according to a markup language used by the application integration system. The message is then routed in the markup language file envelope to the receiving application.

11. A system for communicating a message file from a sending application in a heterogeneous application network, comprising:
-
an application integration system in communication with the sending application and one or more receiving applications, the application integration system comprising;
an inbound adapter connected with the sending application, and configured to determine at least one receiving application for receiving the message, determine a file format used by the receiving application, and if the file format used by the receiving application is substantially identical to a file format used by the sending application, wrap the message in a markup language file envelope according to a markup language format used by the application integration system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
