<p>Managing messages by storing messages in queues (30’s) and providing a macro queue (18) that is associated with the queues. An application programming interface is initiates a request to the macro queue (18) to obtain a message stored in one of the queues (30’s) without identifying a particular queue. The macro queue (18) selects a queue from among the queues (30’s), and then selects a message from a queue from the selected queue. The macro queue (18) may select a message from a queue based on queue priority or queue service time quality. A remote queue (14) proxy is used to establish a communication link between a remote application programming interface and the macro queue (18). The queues (30’s) and the macro queue (18) are implemented using object oriented programming principles.</p> |
