This topic is the entry-point into a set of topics about enabling WebSphere applications to use JMS resources provided by WebSphere MQ.
Why and when to perform this task
You can install WebSphere MQ as a JMS provider to WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere applications can use the JMS 1.1 interfaces or JMS 1.0.2 interfaces to access JMS resources provided by WebSphere MQ, in addition to JMS resources provided by the default messaging provider (or a generic messaging provider).
You can use the WebSphere administrative console to administer the JMS connection factories and destinations provided by WebSphere MQ.
In a mixed-version WebSphere Application Server deployment manager cell, you can administer WebSphere MQ resources on both Version 6 and Version 5 nodes. For Version 5 nodes, the administrative console presents the subset of resources and properties that are applicable to WebSphere Application Server Version 5.
