Abstract
A method and system for providing advanced messaging middleware functionality that is capable of handling message groups. Advanced messaging middleware (AMM) utility responds to the receipt of members of a message group by forwarding the message groups to a single consumer application of a multiple-consumer cluster application. Group messages comprise group identification (ID), and the AMM utility binds the group ID to a single consumer application. All subsequent messages of the message group are forwarded to that particular consumer application, while other messages are forwarded to other consumer applications within the application cluster. When the message group includes a number (group count) field indicating the number of messages within the message group, an aggregator component stores all members of a message group before forwarding the collected members in one sequence to the single consumer application.
