Request and response decoupling via pluggable transports in a service oriented pipeline architecture for a request response message exchange

摘要

A method, system, and computer-readable medium are described herein. An embodiment may read a configuration file. The configuration file may specify a first stage that specifies processing of a protocol-agnostic portion of a message. The embodiment may then add, by one or more processors, the first stage to a processing pipeline, where the processing pipeline is configured to process received messages according to the first stage and a second stage. The second stage is a stage of the processing pipeline that specifies processing of a protocol-specific portion of the message. The processing pipeline being further configured to transport the processed message to a service via a transport mechanism.

1. A method comprising:
reading a configuration file, the configuration file specifying a plurality of pluggable message-protocol-specific protocol processors and a plurality of pluggable transport mechanisms available for use; receiving data to be sent as payload of an outgoing message, the payload being message-protocol-agnostic; processing the payload in a processing pipeline, wherein the processing pipeline includes a plurality of stages for processing the payload of the outgoing message; invoking one of the pluggable message-protocol-specific protocol processors to formulate a protocol-specific header of the outgoing message; dispatching the outgoing message comprising the processed payload and the header to a transport factory comprising the plurality of pluggable transport mechanisms; and transporting the outgoing message via a selected one of the pluggable transport mechanisms.
