Reliably transferring queued application messages
First Claim
1. At a computer system that is network connectable along with one or more other computer systems to a network, a method of reliably enqueing a message, the method comprising:
- an act of receiving an application message configured in accordance with a messaging protocol;
an act of encoding the application message into a corresponding encoded application message;
an act of configuring an enqueue message in accordance with the messaging protocol, the enqueue message identifying a message queue that is to queue the application message;
an act of encapsulating the encoded application message in the enqueue message; and
an act of sending the enqueue message to a queue manager that controls the identified queue such that the application message can be queued for delivery to a receiving computer system.

Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for reliably and securely transferring queued application messages. Application messages are (e.g.,. binary or text) encoded and then encapsulated in transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses such that composable protocol elements used in application messages can be reused in the transfer messages, enqueue messages, and dequeue responses. Transfer message headers are encoded and then encapsulated along with encoded application messages such that composable protocol elements used in transfer headers and application messages can be reused in the store and forward messages. Application messages, transfer messages, enqueue messages, dequeue responses, and store and forward messages can all be configured in accordance with the same messaging protocol, such as, for example, Simple Object Access Protocol. Since encapsulated elements are encoded, the encapsulated elements do not interfere with configuration of wrapping messages.

24. At a computer system that is network connectable along with one or more other computer systems to a network, a method of reliably transferring a message, the method comprising:
-
an act of receiving a message available message indicating that an application message, configured in accordance with a messaging protocol, is available for delivery to an application;
an act of sending a dequeue message in response to the message available message, the dequeue message indicating that the application message is to be dequeued for delivery to the application;
an act of receiving a dequeue response, the dequeue response configured in accordance with the messaging protocol, the dequeue response encapsulating an encoded application message;
an act of decoding the encoded application message into the application message;
an act of sending the application message to the application. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)

47. A computer program product for use at a computer system that is network connectable along with one or more other computer systems to a network, the computer program product for implementing a method of reliably enqueing a message, the computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the computer system to perform the following:
-
receive an application message configured in accordance with a messaging protocol;
encode the application message into a corresponding encoded application message;
configure an enqueue message in accordance with the messaging protocol, the enqueue message identifying a message queue that is to queue the application message;
encapsulate the encoded application message in the enqueue message; and
