Hi
We have two different API's available to access Websphere MQ. I understand that JMS can only be used with JAVA but MQI can be used with any.
But in java what are adavantages of using one over the other.
Thanks |

JMS is a standard that is part of the Java Enterprise Edition framework.
You use it when you are developing solutions that run under JEE containers.
Or if all you know is JMS because all you know is JEE programming. |

The MQI interface, being native, can be faster and more efficient than the JMS one.
Does that outweigh the advantages in terms of use, administration and maintenance JMS provides inside a Java environment? I'd need to be convinced of that.
The question is why are you considering MQI over JMS inside a Java environment? What requirement is leading you to ask the question, or put another way, leading you away from JMS?

I thought this question because as I am using WebsphereMQ as provider, so just wondering if MQI API supports all features or JMS might not support all the features which WSMQ provides.
1 Does JMS supports group message?
2 There must be some differences between them which is the reason JMS was created. Just wanted to know that.

The MQI is the interface the product uses.
JMS is a Java standard which is nothing to do with IBM, WMQ or any part of it but is how Java applications communicate. WMQ can act as a JMS provider in the same way a number of messaging products (which have their own native interface) act as JMS providers.
So all these JMS providers conform to the JMS standard and support group messages (or not) according to what JMS supports. They support selectors (or not) according to the JMS standard.
This is fairly basic Java stuff (because it's Java and I know it) and I'm surprised a Java person is asking about it. Or doesn't already know it.

| You can do group messages in JMS. |

What are your requirements? It is easier to make relevant comments if you tell us a bit about what you want to achieve. |

| The only reason to use MQI is esoteric requirements from legacy MQ endpoints. Otherwise, go JMS wherever possible - it gives a higher level of abstraction. |
