Abstract:
1. In a computing system, a method for instantiating a virtualized instance of a queue manager configured to provide a plurality of supplemental queue manager commands for performing message access, the method comprising: an act of instantiating a queue manager configured to process a plurality of existing queue manager commands on one or more messages in a message queue; an act of instantiating at least one virtualized instance of a queue manager in a virtual layer associated with the queue manager in the computing system, the at least one virtualized queue manager instance providing a plurality of supplemental queue manager commands usable in addition to one or more existing queue manager commands, such that the queue manager can be used to implement the supplemental commands without substantial modification, wherein each supplemental command provides a specified combination of existing queue manager commands that are to be performed by the virtualized queue manager, the supplemental commands themselves not being natively supported by the queue manager; an act of receiving an indication that a message in a message queue is to be accessed according to a specified supplemental command provided by the instantiated virtualized queue manager instance that is not natively supported by the queue manager; and an act of the virtualized queue manager performing the specified supplemental command as indicated by the received indication by performing one or more existing queue manager commands.
