WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application Server

 

This chapter discusses the use of WebSphere MQ for z/OS by the WebSphere Application Server.

Applications written in Java that are running under WebSphere Application Server can use the Java Messaging Service (JMS) specification to perform messaging. Point-to-point messaging in this environment may be provided by a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager.

A benefit of using a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager to provide the point-to-point messaging is that connecting JMS applications can participate fully in the functionality of a WebSphere MQ network. For example, they can make use of the IMS Bridge, or exchange messages with queue managers running on other platforms.
