Abstract
Subscription notifications are provided by receiving a request from a subscriber to register a subscription, the request identifying (i) a topic, (ii) a protocol corresponding to a first adaptor and supported by the subscriber, and (iii) a parameter associated with the protocol. The request is validated based on the parameter, and subscription data is stored. The subscription data is organized as a hierarchical data structure including a plurality of topics and sub-topics, each of the topics and sub-topics being associated with one or more subscribers and adaptors. A message to be published for a topic is received from a publisher. A plurality of adaptors, which correspond to a plurality of protocols, respectively, to be used for the topic is identified in the subscription data. A plurality of notifications corresponding to the message is published by the plurality of adaptors using the plurality of protocols, respectively.
