Transaction Capable Queuing

The invention provides a method for transactional capable queuing and a system. The method can comprises: providing a queue having an ordered list of messages; providing a get cursor operation within the queue to point to a current starting place for a getting application to start searching for a message to retrieve; providing a first lock for putting operations, in response to there being more than one putting application, to ensure only one application is putting to the queue at a time; providing a second lock for getting operations, in response to there being more than one getting application, to ensure that only one application is getting from the queue at a time; and synchronizing putting applications and getting applications to check and update the get cursor operation.
