Quick Start

Getting started with Messaging Middleware

Messaging Middleware provides APIs to build highly-featured message client applications to manipulate messages in Message Store and to enable storage of messages in the Message Store. It also provides support for creating plug-ins to handle individual messaging protocols.

Architecture

The Messaging Middleware architecture comprises of many components to form the Messaging Framework. The framework provides plug-ins (polymorphic MTMs) to manage different type of messages. The set of components that make up a plug-in module is called an Message Type Module (MTM). All interactions with lower-level communication protocols, such as, TCP/IP, are performed by MTMs. The Messaging Framework provides APIs to enable storage of messages in the Message Store. It also provides APIs to manipulate messages in the Message Store.
