Using WebSphere MQ classes for Java
WebSphere® MQ classes for Java enable you to use WebSphere MQ in a Java environment. A Java application can use either WebSphere MQ classes for Java or WebSphere MQ classes for JMS to access WebSphere MQ resources.
WebSphere MQ
classes for Java allow a Java application to:
- Connect to WebSphere MQ as a WebSphere MQ client
- Connect directly to a WebSphere MQ queue manager
WebSphere MQ classes for Java encapsulate the Message Queue Interface (MQI), the native WebSphere MQ API.
WebSphere MQ classes for Java use a similar object model to the C++ and .NET interfaces to WebSphere MQ.
Why should I use WebSphere MQ classes for Java?
If the following points are significant in your installation, consider using WebSphere MQ
classes for Java:
- WebSphere
MQ classes for Java encapsulate the Message Queue Interface (MQI), the native WebSphere MQ API.
- If you are familiar with the use of the MQI in procedural languages, you can transfer this knowledge to the Java environment.
- You can exploit the full range of features of WebSphere MQ, beyond those available through JMS.
- WebSphere MQ classes for Java use a similar object model to the C++ and .NET interfaces to WebSphere MQ. If you are familiar with these interfaces, you can transfer this knowledge to the Java environment.
