1. A method of communicating between a control-level module and an enterprise-level module, the method comprising: receiving a first message in accordance with a first protocol from the control-level module at a receive manager of a bridge device, wherein the first protocol is an industrial protocol;sending a second message from the bridge device back to the control-level module when the bridge device has determined that the first message has been successfully received;analyzing the first message at a transaction manager of the bridge device so as to determine an adapter suitable for enabling further communication of the first message to the enterprise-level module;encoding, by the bridge device, a message header based at least in part upon the first message; andcommunicating a third message based upon the first message for receipt by the enterprise-level module through the use of the adapter, wherein the communicating of the third message occurs in accordance with a second protocol that is an information technology based or information technology oriented protocol,wherein the bridge device is a business message manager implemented on a server that either supports or communicates with the enterprise-level module, and wherein the first message is received via a network employing the industrial protocol, andwherein the industrial protocol employed by the network is a common industrial protocol (CIP) such that the network is a CIP-based network, and wherein the first message received via the CIP-based network is communicated via a class-3 connection. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device is a business message manager implemented within a chassis upon which the control-level module is implemented, and wherein the communicating of the third message involves communication by way of an Ethernet network. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the third message is communicated to a structured query language (SQL) database having a database driver. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein either the third message is communicated via message-oriented middleware (MOM), or the third message is a service-oriented architecture protocol (SOAP) message. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the third message is communicated to a web server or a message queue entity. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device is a business message manager implemented by a Java application. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device includes, in addition to the transaction manager, a data transport layer including one or both of a receive manager and a transmit manager. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first message is a send message and the second message is a receive message. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device employs one or both of a web service definition language (WSDL)-based file and an extensible markup language (XML)-based configuration file to configure one or more transactions. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device includes a Java Messaging Service (JMS) adapter to bind industrial protocol and JMS messaging. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the bridge device upon receiving the first message decodes the message header of the first message. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein, if a reply queue name is included in the message header, the bridge device creates a consumer to be able to receive a service response. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the bridge device detects a destination queue name from the message header, and sends a service message to a destination queue. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the service message is received by a service framework and, upon the receiving of the service message, the service framework causes an appropriate service to be invoked and further causes a response message to be sent to a response queue. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the bridge device upon receiving the response message from the response queue decodes a further message header of the response message to find an industrial protocol message path, and wherein the bridge device encodes an additional message header to be sent back to the control-level module. 16.
