EXTENSIBLE MODULAR COMMUNICATION EXECUTIVE WITH ACTIVE MESSAGE QUEUE AND INTELLIGENT MESSAGE PRE-VALIDATION

摘要

An apparatus, program product and method incorporate an extensible modular communication executive (12) for use integrating one or more electronic devices (14) with one another with reduced customization overhead. A modular architecture is used to facilitate message-based communications in such a manner that queuing strategies, business rules and the like may be accommodated within a message-based environment in a reliable and efficient manner. Through the use of a modular architecture, application-specific software components can be assembled together to readily adapt a generic message-based system for use in a specific application. Moreover, intelligent pre-validation of messages may be implemented in such a modular architecture to permit a business rule-independent messaging infrastructure to be readily adapted to support specific business rule requirements for a particular application.
