Before you start
In the following section, find out how to get the most benefit from this tutorial.
In this tutorial, you get a step-by-step approach to configuring WebSphere MQ and Rational Application Developer for client transport, remote queuing, and JMS publish/subscribe programming. Sample applications along with instructions for running those applications are provided to demonstrate and test these capabilities and features.
In this tutorial, you learn how to:
- Configure and test WebSphere MQ client transport
- Configure and test WebSphere MQ remote queuing
- Configure and run JMS publish/subscribe applications
If you are a Java programmer who needs to understand how to write and test JMS programs using WebSphere MQ and Rational Application Developer, this tutorial is for you. It's assumed that you have intermediate knowledge of Java and an introductory knowledge of JMS. The instructions in this tutorial also assume that you have performed the instructions in Part 1, since they build on the configurations and sample code created and tested in that tutorial.
The instructions in this tutorial are for use in a Windows® environment, although users knowledgeable in other operating systems can probably adapt them for use in their operating system.
