Extending Message-Oriented Middleware using Interception

Varieties of Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) platforms are available each with their own propriety functionality to solve specific messaging challenges. At present, it is not possible to mix and match these propriety features into a customized MOM solution. A number of patterns have been identified that allow a software systems implementation to be more flexible and extensible. This work inve...
