WebSphere MQ Messaging Provider

Through the IBM MQ messaging provider in WebSphere Application Server, Java Message Service (JMS) messaging applications can use your IBM MQ system as an external provider of JMS messaging resources. You can use WebSphere Application Server to configure IBM MQ resources for applications (for example queue connection factories) and to manage messages and subscriptions associated with JMS destinations. You administer security through IBM MQ.

IBM MQ is characterized as follows:

Messaging is handled by a network of queue managers, each running in its own set of processes and having its own administration.

Features such as shared queues (on IBM MQ for z/OS®) and IBM MQ clustering simplify administration and provide dynamic discovery.

Many IBM and partner products support IBM MQ with (for example) monitoring and control, high availability and clustering.

IBM MQ clients can run within WebSphere Application Server (JMS), or almost any other messaging environment by using a variety of APIs.

The IBM MQ messaging provider also supports the Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.5 activation specification mechanism for message-driven beans (MDBs) across all platforms supported by WebSphere Application Server.

You can use WebSphere Application Server to configure IBM MQ resources for applications (for example queue connection factories) and to manage messages and subscriptions associated with JMS destinations. You administer security through IBM MQ. The MQ resource adapter is included with WebSphere Application Server and does not need to be installed separately. Service updates to the resource adapter are usually applied automatically through WebSphere Application Server fix packs.
