Abstract: A method of creating a link of a connection to a messaging system includes receiving a protocol command message directed to a message entity of the messaging system. The protocol command message is communicated over the connection. The method includes determining that the protocol command message includes a link identifier that is unrecognized by the messaging system and in response to receiving the protocol command message and determining that the protocol command message includes the link identifier that is unrecognized by the messaging system, creating the link for the connection, the link corresponding to the link identifier.

Abstract: Dispatching an incoming message from a queue into message transfer session(s) from which message consumers may draw messages. The message is reversibly received from the queue, whereupon a context of a message is identified. If the context correlates to an existing message transfer session, the message is ultimately assigned to a message transfer session. If the context does not correlate to an existing message transfer session, a new message transfer session is created, and the message is assigned to that new message transfer session. Upon receiving an acknowledgement of successful processing of the message, the removal of the message from the queue-like communication medium is assured. Upon receiving an acknowledgement of unsuccessful processing of the message, the message is restored to the queue-like communication medium.

Abstract: A business process adapter converts a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) message into a business process message. A body path and a node encoding type are defined for the business process adapter. And, when the SOAP message is received, the business process adaptor extracts the node of the SOAP message at the location defined by the body path and encodes the node according to the defined node encoding type. Additionally, the business process adapter converts a business process message into a SOAP message using a defined content encoding type and a defined format of the SOAP message. When the business process message is received from the business process management server, the business process adapter encodes the body of the business process message according to the defined content encoding type and generates the SOAP message from the encoded body according to the defined format.
