"Conditional Messaging allows an application to define, monitor, and evalutate various conditions on messages, such as time constraints on the receipt or the processing of a message ..."
"Conditional Messaging uniquely shifts the responsibilities for implementing the management of conditions on messages from an application to the middleware."
"Dependency-Spheres extend the conventional model of distributed object transactions to include conventional messages."
"A D-Sphere allows
- to demarcate object requests of standard object transactions and a set of conditional messages in a single atomic unit-of work
- to send messages to remote destinations at any point in time during the course of an ongoing transaction
- to make the outcome of object requests and object transactions dependent on the outcome of conditional messages, and vice versa"
