Abstract

A message brokering mechanism for a transaction processing system may include first and second stages operable to exchange message requests and responses. The first stage may be operable to receive a message request from a message source and to check whether there is an existing first stage response to the message request. In some embodiments, if there is an existing first stage response, the first stage may dispatch the existing first stage response to the message source.
