ABSTRACT:
Embodiments provide for storing message rules in a serialized global form on a server for transfer of the data between different servers. Message rules include condition and action data structures, wherein at least the action data structures include global identifiers. A client creates a message object that includes an extended rule with the global identifiers, sets a property on the message object used to identify the object as an extended rule, serializes the message object using a code library, and stores the message object on a message server. Upon execution of a message rule, the rule is desterilized using a copy of the code library and translated into server specific for executing the extended rule on received messages.
