The IBM® Message Service Client for C/C++ offers C/C++ users an Application Programming Interface (API) that is consistent with the Java™ Message Service (JMS) API.
Download Description
The IBM Message Service Client for C/C++ ("XMS C/C++") renders the Java Message Service (JMS) API in the C/C++ languages. It brings the benefits of JMS -- a standard, abstracted messaging API for pub/sub and point-to-point messaging, as well as externally administered objects - to the non-Java world.
Applications created in this way can be used to exchange messages between other Message Service Client applications, JMS applications or native WebSphere® MQ applications and can easily be migrated between WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Business Integration Message Brokers and WebSphere Application Server V6.0 messaging environments with little or no rework.
A .NET implementation of this SupportPac is also available, IA9H: IBM Message Service Client for .NET. This can be downloaded as a Cat3 SupportPac here.
Possible Uses
The XMS Clients create new integration possibilities by extending WebSphere messaging to customers who have, for example, standardized on C/C++ as their client platform, or who want to use messaging to integrate with new .NET or J2EE applications.
Skill Level Required
To use this SupportPac you need the following skills, knowledge, and experience:
» C or C++ application programming skills.
» A working knowledge of the operating system that you are using.
» Experience in using TCP/IP as a communications protocol.
» Some knowledge of the concepts and terminology associated with the WebSphere Messaging products with which you intend to communicate
» Some knowledge of the Java Message Service Specification, Version 1.1
New in this Release
This release of IBM Message Service Clients for C/C++ contains the following key enhancements:
IPv6 Support
This release of XMS C/C++ enables XMS applications developed using C or C++ programming language to connect to Messaging Servers, such as WebSphere MQ, WebSphere SIB, and WebSphere Message Broker running on an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) enabled network.
JMS_IBM_ArmCorrelator and JMS_TOG_ARM_Correlator property support
With the release, XMS adds two new properties for the Message object. These properties are JMS_IBM_ArmCorrelator and JMS_TOG_ARM_Correlator. These properties enable associating a unique enterprise-wide Id for data being exchanged between disparate applications running in complex, heterogenous environment of large enterprises.
