I was just thinking about the pros and cons of MQ API vs JMS API. Why would one consider one vs the other? I compiled a list, and was wondering if anyone could add to it.
Advantages of using MQ API
1. More control over the MQGET's and MQPUT's and SYNCPOINTS
2. More control over the MQ objects like reading MQ properties (but that would be useful if we are building MQ Administration software.
3. Good option if you don have a JNDI server installed
Advantages of using JMS
1. Vendor independence hence applications are more portable
Thanks. |

I could add...
Advantages of using MQ API
- better performance little bit
-general more control
Advantages of using JMS
- pool managing
Disadvantages of using JMS
- not implemented all native functionality (eg: segmentation)
There are also non technical things which you should consider.
I personally use MQ native API because... I like it.
I used to it. For me it easier.
I use JMS only with MDB.

I thought that too, until I found the following link
http://www.sun.com/software/products/message_queue/wp_JMSperformance.pdf
This compares performance of Sun JMS with Websphere MQ Java
According to this document, the performance of JMS is better than Websphere MQ Java. Don't know what to say here.
However, Page 18 of the following link shows a comparison of MQI calls, WMQ Java and JMS and - This document was compiled by IBM
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/integration/support/supportpacs/individual/mp7g.pdf
It says in the page that the two Java-based APIs are very similar, with the WMQ Java peaking 3.0% above the JMS API. The MQI interface provided better overall performance peaking 13.7%
higher than JMS, which is what u mentioned as well
I also agree that WMQ java offers more control.
What about SYNCPOINTS? I dont think JMS offers SYNCPOINTS although it does offer Transacted Messaging |

Syncpoints are the same thing as transacted messaging.
Comparing performance of the Sun JMS Provider with the WebSphere MQ JMS Provider is comparing contact admin to apples. It's entirely likely that the Sun JMS Provider may run faster than WebSphere MQ when Sun is doing unreliable messaging and MQ is doing persistent messaging. But unless you really understand the testing that was done, and the conditions that are being compared, you should take any such statements as pure marketing. Your own experience will be completely different.
Use JMS when you're running code in a J2EE container.
Use WMQ Java API when you're writing things that need fine grained control of WMQ.
Use your own best judgement when deciding for things that are somewhere in between.
Do not make any decisions based on performance without clear performance requirements, test plans, monitoring and analysis, and target metrics.
