Abstract
A method and system for preserving a message ordering while processing message are discussed. A message ordering manager records an order in which electronic messages arrive at an input queue. An application server processes the electronic messages out-of-order or in parallel. The message ordering manager commits the processed electronic messages in the order in which electronic messages arrive at an input queue. If a processed message cannot be committed because older message(s) are not completely processed, then application server determines whether processing older message(s) is critical or not. If the processing the older message(s) is critical, the application server rolls back the processed message and the older message(s). Otherwise, the message ordering manager commits the processed message before the older electronic messages are committed.
