| 20080229328 | COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DYNAMICALLY OPTIMIZED HANDLING OF MESSAGES RECEIVED FROM A MESSAGE TRANSMISSION BACKBONE BY A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM NODE - A method, system, and computer program product for handling messages on a message transmission backbone within a distributed data processing system is disclosed. A filter module generates an allowable message types data structure, and stores the allowable message types data structure in a memory. Each entry of the allowable message types data structure includes information for identifying an allowable message type on the basis of one or more message characteristics. A change in a status of a module within a group of loaded programs, which includes multiple data processing software modules, is detected. In response to detecting the change in the status of a module within the group of loaded programs, a corresponding entry within the allowable message types data structure is modified. Then, when messages arrive from the message transmission backbone, a filtering module communicates a message to the group of loaded programs if an item of identifying information within the message meets a criterion of the entries within the allowable message types data structure. | 09-18-2008 |
