Abstract: A method includes issuing a request, from an application of a contributing client device to a stream administration server, to contribute messages from the application to a feed adapter within a data communication environment via a message stream which bypasses the stream administration server. The feed adapter is coupled to a feed source via a feed adapter input stream and to at least one subscribing device via a feed adapter output stream. The feed source is separate from the contributing client device. The feed adapter input stream is separate from the message stream. The method includes receiving, in response to the request and an authentication of the contributing client device. A set of constraints on messages is to be transmitted from the contributing client device to the feed adapter.

Abstract: A method includes receiving active application messages that are part of an active message stream in a subscribing client device from an active feed adapter. Each active application message is characterized by an active source stream identifier, an active source stream sequence number, and an active message sequence number. The method includes receiving, in response to a failover from the active feed adapter to a backup feed adapter, backup application messages in the subscribing client device from the backup feed adapter. Each backup application message is characterized by a backup source stream identifier, a backup source stream sequence number, and a backup message sequence number. The method includes administering, by the subscribing client device, the backup application messages in dependence upon the active stream source identifier, the active stream source sequence number, the backup stream source identifier, and the backup stream source sequence number.
