ABSTRACT:
A method and system for performing straight through processing is presented. The method includes monitoring a queue in order to detect a specific message. This message is parsed to take it from an external format into an internal format. The contents of the message include stages, with one stage being marked as active, and each stage having at least one step and a queue identifier. The processing specified in the steps contained in the active stage is performed, the active stage is marked inactive, and a new stage is marked active. The message is parsed back into the external format and directed to the queue specified by the queue identifier. Additional embodiments include a storage medium and a signal propagated over a propagation medium for performing computer messaging.
