Abstract: A dynamic topic partitioning messaging system. The messaging system can include a message server; one or more topics stored in the message server; one or more subtopics associated with at least one of the topics in the message server; and, a dynamic topic partitioning system configured to partition the topics into the subtopics. Notably, the message server can be Java message service (JMS) compliant. In that regard, the message server can reside in a single process address space. For example, the process address space can be a Java virtual machine (JVM).

Abstract: Prioritization of fragmented messages in an ORB is achieved by intercepting the flow of message data within the ORB, marking the current data stream location and issuing sufficient read commands to gather the message header and control area information. Then classification for priority can be performed using the data in the control area to classify the request. The classification information is stored for the message for later use by queuing and prioritization processes and the data stream marker is reset to the original location. When the queuing and prioritization processes are ready to dispatch the message, the message can be sent on to the higher levels of processing within the ORB where the higher levels of message processing code will process the message, totally unaware of the fact that the message has been classified and/or queued or prioritized prior to delivery to the higher level.

Abstract: Session state affinity is maintained in a workload balancing system that includes a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) routing server and a plurality of application servers. The application servers maintain backup session state information for a first session to a first server of the plurality of application servers at fewer than all of the plurality of application servers, detect the unavailability of the first application server at an application server of the plurality of application servers other than the first application and determine a second server that continues the first session. An identification of the second server and the first session is sent from an application server of the plurality of application servers to a HTTP routing server responsive to detecting the unavailability of the first server.
