Abstract

A messaging system is disclosed for the purpose of delivering data in the form of a portable message format from a producer of any kind, over any transport protocol, using any delivery guarantee, to one or more recipients of any kind. The method for running said message system includes a message broker with at least one pluggable protocol adapter. It may also comprises at least one pluggable message format adapter and at least one pluggable message content adapter, thus enabling to use a simple unified topic or queue abstraction between the involved communication parties. Specifically, the method includes protocol adapters, message format adapters and message content adapters to wireless networks and devices, as well as message adapters to convert the portable messages between the different formats used in different computer programming languages.
