Adaptive differential propagation of soap messages

A computer system comprising:

• a first gateway comprising a non-transitory memory having stored thereon:
• a classification engine module for classifying incoming Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages originating within the first gateway into message classes according to at least one of:
• a structure, content, and a context thereof;
• a template selection module for selecting one of a plurality of templates for each classified SOAP message, each selected template yielding a minimized product of a diff function applied to the selected template and the classified SOAP message for which it is selected, wherein the selected template of the first gateway and a second gateway comply;
• a diff module for applying a diff function to each selected template and the classified the SOAP message for which it is selected to yield respective deltas;
• a module for encapsulating, in at least one outgoing SOAP message, a template identifier or a classified SOAP message with each respective delta, the template identifier being uniquely associated with the selected template;
• and
• a module for transmitting the at least one encapsulated outgoing SOAP message to a communication link in communication with the second gateway.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program embodied therewith, the computer readable program comprising:
• computer readable program configured to classify incoming Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages originating within a first gateway, into message classes according to at least one of:
• structure, content, and context thereof;
• computer readable program configured to select a corresponding template from a plurality of templates for each classified SOAP message such that the selected template minimized a product of a specified diff function applied to the classified SOAP message and the selected template, wherein the selected template of the first gateway and a second gateway comply;
• computer readable program configured to apply the specified diff function to the SOAP message and the selected template to yield a respective delta;
• computer readable program configured to encapsulate, in an outgoing SOAP message, a template identifier with each respective delta or a classified SOAP message, wherein the template identifier is uniquely associated with the selected template;
• and
• computer readable program configured to transmit the at least one encapsulated outgoing SOAP message to a communication link in communication with the second gateway.
