Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer system instantiates a queue manager configured to process a plurality of existing queue manager commands on messages in a message queue. The computer system instantiates a virtualized instance of a queue manager in a virtual layer associated with the queue manager in the computing system. The a virtualized queue manager instance provides supplemental queue manager commands usable in addition to existing queue manager commands, such that the queue manager can be used to implement the supplemental commands without substantial modification. The computer system receives an indication that a message in a message queue is to be accessed according to a specified command provided by the instantiated virtualized queue manager instance that is not natively supported by the queue manager and the virtualized queue manager performs the specified supplemental command as indicated by the received indication by performing one or more existing queue manager commands.
