Abstract
A system for reliable message delivery includes a storage unit configured to store a message, and a message stored in the storage unit, wherein the message is persisted in the storage unit. The system also includes a status information associated with the message, the status information capable of indicating a first status. The system further includes a module coupled to the storage unit. The module is operable to execute on a computer and transmit the message to a second computer. The module is also operable to receive an acknowledgement from the second computer, and, in response to receiving the acknowledgement, the module is operable to indicate a second status in the status information. A method for providing reliable message delivery includes providing a storage unit configured to store a message and a message stored in the storage unit, wherein the message is persisted in the storage unit. The method also includes providing a record corresponding to the message, wherein the record is operable to store status information for the message. The method further includes storing a first status in the record, transmitting the message to a destination, and, in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the destination, storing a second status in the record.
