JTA/JDBC coordination using IBM MQ classes for Java

IBM® MQ classes for Java supports the MQQueueManager.begin() method, which allows IBM MQ to act as a coordinator for a database which provides a JDBC type 2 or JDBC type 4 compliant driver.

This support is not available on all platforms. To check which platforms support JDBC coordination, see System Requirements for IBM MQ.

To use the XA-JTA support, you must use the special JTA switch library. The method for using this library varies depending on whether you are using Windows or one of the other platforms.
