Messaging abstraction layer for integration with message oriented middleware platforms

A method comprising:

• providing a plurality of applications with centralized access to a plurality of message oriented middleware (MOM) servers via a connectivity layer;
• establishing a connection between a given one of the plurality of applications and a given one of the plurality of MOM servers via the connectivity layer;
• and
• exchanging data between the given one of the plurality of applications and the given one of the plurality of MOM servers via the connectivity layer;
• wherein the connectivity layer is configured to implement a plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting the plurality of applications to respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers;
• wherein the respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers implement different messaging protocols from each other;
• wherein the plurality of client libraries correspond to respective ones of the different messaging protocols;
• wherein the respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers comprise at least a first MOM server implementing a first messaging protocol and a second MOM server implementing a second messaging protocol different from the first messaging protocol;
• wherein the connectivity layer is configured to implement a first client library of the plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting one or more of the plurality of applications to the first MOM server, and to implement a second client library of the plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting the one or more of the plurality of applications to the second MOM server;
• and
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing platform comprising at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing platform causes said at least one processing platform:

• to provide a plurality of applications with centralized access to a plurality of message oriented middleware (MOM) servers via a connectivity layer;
• to establish a connection between a given one of the plurality of applications and a given one of the plurality of MOM servers via the connectivity layer;
• and
• to exchange data between the given one of the plurality of applications and the given one of the plurality of MOM servers via the connectivity layer;
• wherein the connectivity layer is configured to implement a plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting the plurality of applications to respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers;
• wherein the respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers implement different messaging protocols from each other;
• wherein the plurality of client libraries correspond to respective ones of the different messaging protocols;
• wherein the respective ones of the plurality of MOM servers comprise at least a first MOM server implementing a first messaging protocol and a second MOM server implementing a second messaging protocol different from the first messaging protocol;
• and
• wherein the connectivity layer is configured to implement a first client library of the plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting one or more of the plurality of applications to the first MOM server, and to implement a second client library of the plurality of client libraries for utilization in connecting the one or more of the plurality of applications to the second MOM server.
