A method for providing “guaranteed message delivery” for network based communications between a client machine and a server. The client machine includes a Client Runtime Environment (CRE) and the server includes a Server Runtime Environment (SRE). The method includes the following steps. A first message queue is maintained in the CRE. A first unique identification is attached to the first message from the first message queue and the first message is sent from the CRE to the SRE via a network communication. The SRE receives the first message and sends an acknowledgement of the receipt of the first message to the CRE. Upon receiving of the acknowledgement within a certain time threshold, the CRE removes the first message from the first message queue in the CRE. A method of providing “server-push” of messages from the server to the client machine utilizing a push Servlet and a push API.
