Are there any restrictions imposed by IBM for using/enhancing/modifying the code given in MQSeries Webclient? We have purchased the software, however we do not know whether we can modify the code to suit our purpose.
I know that this question need to be addressed to IBM, just wanted to check if somebody has already approached them..
Thanks in advance |

You can extend the web client as much as you like, See the doc for more infor on how to do this. Be careful not to use any deprecated methods, as they will be gone eventually.
I had one experience where the signature of a method was changed, but it was a fairly obscure method that I was just playing with, but be aware that this has happened in the past. This did not cause me any great harm, but I did need to change some code.
GOOD LUCK

Hi,
You can extend the Sample WebClient provided and also IBM provides WF API's for you to extend or develop your own WF Runtime client (WebClient as well as Thick client).
I don't have much experience in WebClient Java API's but my previous project involved development of Web based custom client from scratch, and they developed without any problem.
I hope you don't entounter any problems in developing the WebClient
Cheers
Ved

I would say if you use the methods shown in IBMs own WebClient Tutorial you would have to be in the clear. I would think that if you were to decompile the IBM supplied classes and modify them, that you might be in some trouble.
Moral: Modify the webclient in the manner described in the WebClient tutorial, and you should be able to do anything you need, and be 100% supported by IBM.
GOOD LUCK
