System and method for message processing and routing
First Claim
1. A computer system implemented method for expanding the messaging processing capability of a computerized message routing system comprising a message handler that performs routing of messages from a publisher to endpoint subscribers, pre-routing transformation of the messages prior to routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers and post-routing transformation of the messages after routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers, the method comprising:
- migrating via a computer system endpoint message transformation procedures, for transforming messages into a format previously unrecognized by the message handler, from being performed by a new group of endpoint subscribers to being performed by the message handler as post-routing message transformation procedures;
transforming by the message handler, using the migrated post-routing message transformation procedures, messages into the format previously unrecognized by the message handler; and
delivering the transformed messages to the new group of endpoint subscribers in the format previously unrecognized by the message handler.

Abstract
A message routing system that allows applications at either end of the system to run as-is without modification. The system functions in a multithreaded environment and is capable of handling complex routing rules and message transformation. It is also capable of learning and executing new routing rules and message transformations in formats previously unrecognized by the system. The system enables precise and reliable logging of messages throughout processing and supports publication of enterprise-wide broadcast messages. The system further preferably employs cooperating inbound and outbound transport processes for consuming, routing, processing, safely storing and publishing messages in batches of logical units of work to ensure that the logical units of work are not lost in system transactions. The system also preferably utilizes a replay server for preserving and replaying messages that might otherwise fail to reach their intended destinations.

9. An apparatus for expanding the messaging processing capability of a computerized message routing system comprising a message handler that performs routing of messages from a publisher to endpoint subscribers, pre-routing transformation of the messages prior to routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers and post-routing transformation of the messages after routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions to; migrate endpoint message transformation procedures, for transforming messages into a format previously unrecognized by the message handler, from being performed by a new group of endpoint subscribers to being performed by the message handler as post-routing message transformation procedures; transform by the message handler, using the migrated post-routing message transformation procedures, messages into the format previously unrecognized by the message handler; and instructions to deliver the transformed messages to the new group of endpoint subscribers in the format previously unrecognized by the message handler. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
