Abstract
A method and system for routing and servicing events provides a communication link which carries event messages communicated to a computer network. A router listens for the event messages of a given type and routes the event messages to a destination corresponding to the given type. A service controller is coupled to the at least one router, and the service controller maps the event messages routed thereto by the at least one router to commands to perform services.
Claims21
A system for routing and servicing events, comprising:
- a communication link which carries event messages communicated to a computer network;
- at least one router which listens for the event messages and routes the event messages to a destination based on subscriber information corresponding to a given type of message;
- and
- at least one service controller coupled to the at least one router, the at least one service controller maps the event messages routed thereto by the at least one router to commands to perform services.
A method for routing and servicing events, comprising the steps of:
- monitoring event messages on a communication link of a computer network;
- determining a message type of the event messages;
- identifying recipients of the event messages in accordance with the message type;
- outputting new messages, which include information in the event messages, on the communication link, the new messages being identifiable by the recipients of the new messages;
- and
- servicing the new messages by the recipients which include service controllers which map the event messages to commands.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for routing and servicing events, the method steps comprising:
- monitoring event messages on a communication link of a computer network;
- determining a message type of the event messages;
- identifying recipients of the event messages in accordance with the message type;
- outputting new messages, which include information in the event messages, on the communication link, the new messages being identifiable by the recipients of the new messages;
- and
- servicing the new messages by the recipients which include service controllers which map the event messages to commands.
