Hi All,

We need to send a msg to broker from .Net application. Two possible ways to do so,

1) Webservice: invoking msgflow using HTTP nodes
2) Putting message in a MQ queue and msgflow picking it up using
MQInput node.

But the problem is, .Net application is not MQ enabled and hence need
change; at the same time facility for webservices is already available. Is there any advantage or disadvantage of using web services?

Broker: WMB v6 in Solaris

Thanks in advance,
-kspranava

http is for synchronous communications, MQ will support asynchronous communication...

It's kinda the same arguement (in reverse) of the "do we buy MQ" question; if we've got TCP/IP links with socket-enabled programs, ftp and so forth why do we need to buy MQ & change a lot of code?

The answer is reliant on your individual requirements, how much you value decoupling, how much time you have to change code, etc, etc.

if you want to increase the quality of service, MQSeries will enhance (or assure) reliability. HTTP is inherently unreliable, and we have had our problems maintaining connections over it. if your data is at all transactional or important in nature, the MQ solution is very attractive, especially if you already have a message broker.

naturally, you have to weigh that against how invasive a change in your existing application would be. if it's not easily changed, then the http protocol in msg broker is there for you to take advantage of. decisions!!
