Abstract
An apparatus for deferred handling of a message in a publish/subscribe system comprises a publisher for publishing the message and a subscriber for receiving the message. The apparatus comprises a handier for handling a first message published by a publisher, the first message comprising an instruction associated with said publisher, the instruction comprising topic data, and a generator, responsive to handling of the first message, for using first data associated with the instruction to generate topic data.
Claims14
An apparatus for deferred topic data handling in a publish/subscribe apparatus comprising a publisher for publishing a first message and a subscriber for receiving the topic data in a second message, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a computer handler for handling the first message published by the publisher, the first message comprising an instruction, said instruction comprising a function with an associated parameter;
- a comparator for comparing said function with a first storage component in order to determine whether said function is stored in said first storage component;
- a generator for using said function and said parameter data to generate the deferred topic data;
- and
- an inserter for inserting the deferred topic data into the second message for distribution to the subscriber.
A method for deferred topic data handling in a publish/subscribe system comprising a publisher for publishing a first message and a subscriber for receiving the deferred topic data in a second message, the method comprising:
- handling the first message published by the publisher, the first message comprising an instruction, said instruction comprising a function with an associated parameter;
- comparing said function with a first storage component in order to determine whether said function is stored in said first storage component;
- using said function and said parameter data to generate the deferred topic data;
- and
- inserting the deferred topic data into the second message for distribution to the subscriber.
A computer program product for providing deferred topic data handling in a publish/subscribe system comprising a publisher for publishing a first message and a subscriber for receiving the deferred topic data in a second message, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code configured to handle the first message published by the publisher, the first message comprising an instruction, said instruction comprising a function with an associated parameter;
- computer usable program code configured to compare said function with a first storage component in order to determine whether said function is stored in said first storage component:
- computer usable program code configured to use said function and said parameter data to generate the deferred topic data;
- and
- computer usable program code configured to insert the deferred topic data into a second message for distribution to the subscriber.
