Method and system for implementing independent message queues by specific applications

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed by one or more processors to implement a method for processing messages in a content server platform, the method comprising:

• providing a first application programming interface to a content management system of the content server, the content server including a plurality of applications and defining two different event types, the event types including notification events for the content server;
• creating, by the application programming interface, at least one message queue for each of the plurality of applications for the processing of messages among client processes within each respective application of the plurality of applications, wherein each message queue is implemented in the content server as a persistent object type, wherein messages in a message queue are objects of the persistent object type corresponding to the message queue, objects of a persistent object type being maintained as always persisted, such that, when a message is generated and added to a queue, the message is stored in a database, the message being removed from the message queue only after a message consumer client process has acknowledged that the message has been consumed, the messages of the persistent object type only being consumed by client processes of the application for which each message queue was created;
• and
• creating, by the application programming interface, different message queues for notification events generated by different applications of the plurality of applications within the content server.

A system for processing messages in a content server platform, comprising:

• a processor-based content management system executed on the content server computer that is configured to support execution of a plurality of applications and define two different event types, the event types including notification events for the content server, the notification events having subscriber applications;
• a first application programming interface component to the content management system of the content server, the content server including a plurality of applications, the application programming interface being configured to:
• create at least one message queue for each of the plurality of applications for the processing of messages among client processes within each respective application of the plurality of applications, wherein each message queue is implemented in the content server as a persistent object type, wherein messages are objects of the persistent object type corresponding to the message queue, objects of a persistent object type being maintained as always persisted, such that, when a message is generated and added to a queue, the message is stored in a database, the message being removed from the message queue only after a message consumer client process has acknowledged that the message has been consumed, the messages of the persistent object type only being consumed by client processes of the application for which each message queue was created;
• and
• create different message queues for notification events generated by different applications of the plurality of applications within the content server.

• and
• creating, by the application programming interface, a separate content server log on the content server for each created message queue, each separate content server log including message service-related information pertaining to a corresponding created message queue.
