Disclaimer: I just started working with MQ series about 2 days ago, and I'm on a very tight schedule.

Our organization is in the process of purchasing a vendor product that communicates via MQ series with the rest of our system. My job is to develop a service that provides data to this vendor product over MQ.

Here is our current configuration and proposed process:

* AIX box hosts vendor product (some sort of web application) and MQ Server.
* Windows Server 2003 box hosts MQ Server and my .NET Web Service.
* Clients make requests in the vendor product, and the request is placed in the AIX request queue, which is then moved to the Windows server request queue via a channel.
* My .NET Web Service needs to somehow retrieve requests from the request queue on the Windows box and place a response in the response queue on the Windows box. The requests and responses are schema defined XML format provided by the vendor.

Here is where I'm at now:
* Standard .NET Web Service is built and published to the Windows server. The service takes one parameter (request XML) returns a System.Xml.XmlDocument object that conforms to the vendor schema.
* A request and response queue exists on the web server, but I cannot figure out how to get a listener to invoke the web service.

I've extensively read http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.csqzau.doc/ts10260_.htm (talks about amqwSOAPNETListener)

and

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247012.pdf (talks about MQSOAPHost)

However, I'm not sure which listener to use, and I'm having a hard time reading through and understanding all of the details provided in the documentation. Is there a VERY simple explanation of what I need to do somewhere on the web? If not, please let me know what details I need to provide to put me on the right track.

I'd like to have a Merry Christmas and not be stressed out about missing an end of the year incentive
