Patent number: 8364800Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and process for resolving messages from application components to back-end systems. The system comprises a standardized message definition which uses a tagged field format through which application components communicate to a message handler. The message handler applies rules that define actions to be taken and recipients of information based on the contents of the message. The rules may be pre-defined by a customer associated with an application component generating a message, based on common rules applied to components generally, or based upon service rules associated with the service provider, such as level of service subscriptions or other characteristics, or based on a combination of any or all of the above bases. By utilizing published message formats, the present invention provides a platform independent framework for exposing application hosting back-end systems to customer applications.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Verizon Business Network Services Inc.Inventors: Richard S. Bice, Jon P. Brusseau, Richard L. Lacourse, Herbert T. Raffaele
