WebSphere Application Server and the IBM MQ resource adapter

The IBM® MQ resource adapter is used by applications that perform JMS messaging with the IBM MQ messaging provider in WebSphere® Application Server.

Important: Do not use the IBM MQ or IBM WebSphere MQ resource adapter with WebSphere Application Server Version 6. WebSphere Application Server Version 7 and later includes a version of the IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7 resource adapter.

If you want to use a JMS application to access the resources of an IBM MQ queue manager from within WebSphere Application Server, use the IBM MQ messaging provider in WebSphere Application Server. The IBM MQ messaging provider contains a version of the IBM MQ classes for JMS. For more information, see the technote Which version of WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter (RA) is shipped with WebSphere Application Server ?.
