System and method for supporting a complex message header in a transactional middleware machine environment

Abstract

A flexible transactional data structure can be used to store message header in a transactional middleware machine environment. The flexible transactional data structure can have dynamic numbers of fields and is accessible via specified IDs. The message header can include a first data structure that stores address information for accessing a client using a first message queue, and a second data structure that stores address information for accessing a client using a second message queue. The first type of server operates to use only the first data structure to obtain the address information for accessing the client using the first message queue. The second type of server operates to obtain a key from the first data structure first, and then use the key to obtain from the second data structure the address information for accessing the client using the second message queue.
