Abstract: A mediation processing node computer processor updates a message. A message is received for processing by a mediation processing node computer processor. It is deduced from a declared interface of the mediation processing node computer processor that one or more message values will be updated by the mediation processing node computer processor as a result of its processing. The interface of the mediation processing node computer processor is then used to obtain the one or more updated values and the updates are then applied to the message.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communications manager, method and computer program for receiving publications and forwarding these on to parties who have subscribed to receive such publications. A subscription request of a first type is received and includes a filter expression having at least one attribute. It is possible to map at least part of such an attribute(s) to a generic format (generic format filter attribute(s)). It is also possible to receive a publication message of a second type and to compare the publication received with the subscription request to determine whether the publication is appropriate for forwarding onto the subscriber originating the request. To enable such a comparison, a generic format filter attribute(s) is identified and is mapped to a format corresponding to the second message type. Once a match is found, the publication can then be transmitted to the originating subscriber.
