There is disclosed a method, computer program and bridge for linking two
publish/subscribe message brokers together. A subscription is made to
receive request messages on one or more topics from a first broker. A
subscription is made to receive all messages published at either the
first or the second broker to a replyto topic including a bridge
identifier. A request message is received from the first broker, the
request message specifying a temporary replyto topic on which responses
to the request should be published. The temporary reply to topic is
modified to specify a bridge identifier. The modified request message is
forwarded to a second broker. A response to the request is received from
the second broker, the response being published on the replyto topic
including the bridge identifier. The bridge receives the response as a
result of the subscription to receive all messages published to a topic
including the bridge identifier. The response is forwarded to the first
broker.
