Why should I use WebSphere MQ classes for Java?
A Java application can use either WebSphere® MQ classes for Java or WebSphere MQ classes for JMS to access WebSphere MQ resources. There are a number of advantages to using 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.
