HTTP tunnelling

 

A WebSphere MQ JMS client can connect to a broker using HTTP tunnelling. HTTP tunnelling is suitable for applets because the Java™ 2 Security Manager normally rejects any attempt by an applet to connect directly to the broker. Using HTTP tunnelling, which exploits the built in support in Web browsers, a WebSphere MQ JMS client can connect to the broker using the HTTP protocol as though connecting to a Web site.

We can configure a WebSphere MQ JMS client to use HTTP tunnelling in either of the following ways:

• In a WebSphere MQ JMS application, use the setTransportType() method of an MQConnectionFactory object to set the transport type attribute to JMSC.MQJMS_TP_DIRECT_HTTP.

• Use the WebSphere MQ JMS administration tool to set the TRANSPORT property to DIRECTHTTP.

SSL authentication cannot be used with HTTP tunnelling.
