I want to know when we say EAI tool,what does that mean in context to MQSeries.
I have worked on MQSeries ,sending and receiveing messages from base Java Classes and also using JMS BUT (HERE IS THE DOUBT) so can i say that i know EAI tool "called MQ Series"..
Im basically not very well able to understand what is a EAI tool means...
I have also heard of some thing called "MQSeries Intergrator".Is that different from MQSeries and if yes thats the difference.
If what i have worked on (jms+messeging) is different thne EAI tools then can any one tellme in nut shell the difference between the two.
Also can iuse this formula
SOAP+JMS+XML+MQSERIES=EAI TOOL
Again if this formula is wrong then which IBM product is an EAI tool.

Im asking this because people in market these days ask if u know EAI tools i dont know what to answer so i thought to ask here...
Hope some one can answer me this..!

Thanks

You can get some good definitions for EAI from Google using search criteria:
Quote:
define:Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)


Here is one of these definitions:
Quote:
The integration of two or more enterprise systems' processes, software, standards, and hardware, allowing them to operate as one.


MQSeries, MQSeries Integrator, MQSeries Workflow are the most known IBM products that support EAI
    MQSeries - recommended for communication between different systems
    MQSeries Integrator - recommended for data transformation between different systems
    MQSeries Workflow - recommended for long-running business process workflows as they interact with systems and people


And of course, WebSphere Application Server is getting a more and more important role in the EAI implementations.

A few more comments:

MQSeries experience - I would say experience with the well known communication/transport product recommended and used by IBM for EAI.
JMS experience - I would say experience with the standard enterprise messaging Java API for EAI.

But I believe there is no such formula
SOAP+JMS+XML+MQSERIES=EAI TOOL
An EAI application can be implemented using none of, some of, all or more than SOAP+JMS+XML+MQSERIES

I wish you luck with the people in the market.

Why not "ask" IBM about their products? It's all on the web site
