System and method for message processing and routing

An apparatus for expanding the messaging processing capability of a computerized message routing system comprising a message handler that performs routing of messages from a publisher to endpoint subscribers, pre-routing transformation of the messages prior to routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers and post-routing transformation of the messages after routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions to:
• migrate endpoint message transformation procedures, for transforming messages into a format previously unrecognized by the message handler, from being performed by a new group of endpoint subscribers to being performed by the message handler as post-routing message transformation procedures;
• transform by the message handler, using the migrated post-routing message transformation procedures, messages into the format previously unrecognized by the message handler;
• and
• instructions to deliver the transformed messages to the new group of endpoint subscribers in the format previously unrecognized by the message handler.

A processor-readable physical medium for expanding the messaging processing capability of a computerized message routing system comprising a message handler that performs routing of messages from a publisher to endpoint subscribers, pre-routing transformation of the messages prior to routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers and post-routing transformation of the messages after routing of the messages to the endpoint subscribers, the medium storing processor-issuable-and-generated instructions to:

• migrate endpoint message transformation procedures, for transforming messages into a format previously unrecognized by the message handler, from being performed by a new group of endpoint subscribers to being performed by the message handler as post-routing message transformation procedures;
• transform by the message handler, using the migrated post-routing message transformation procedures, messages into the format previously unrecognized by the message handler;
• and
• instructions to deliver the transformed messages to the new group of endpoint subscribers in the format previously unrecognized by the message handler.
