All,
Anyone using MQ Series interact with a SMTP server <Lotus Notes> in particular?
There is an idea that the decision makers are considering/wondering if this is possible. Basically, an app puts a message on a queue, then sometime an app gets the messages and creates a mail message.
Or is there a triggering type mechanism to do this. There used to be the Lotus Notes Agent support pac MA7E but I see its withdrawn.
I assume either way that an program would have to be written for Notes and perform Notes calls...that this is not something the MQ can do by itself.
Any replies would be appreciated...thanks!!! |

<ignorance alert>
I thought Domino 6 gave you a Java API for which you could make use of the MQ Java classes?

Hi,
You could do it outside of Domino - hence you could connect to any SMTP mail system. I have done it and it is pretty straight forward.
Go get J2EE v1.3 or just the Mail.jar file from Sun (or whomever).
The big thing you need to decide apon is where will you get the "TO", "CC", "BCC" and "Subject" fields from. i.e. from within the MQ message or from an external file.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Roger Lacroix

Roger thanks for the response,
There currently is an application using mail.jar file to send mail. This project/idea is in its infancy so I was just tossing out the question to see what others are doing.
Jason..thanks for the response...<wise guy> I'd probably use some other words that has the potential to get me censored..hahah
I think they are wanting to use something in notes/domino. I know there were some issues with Domino R5 and MQ 5.2 and above. Something about the compatibility between java SDK's of MQ & Domino. Anyone know if that is resolved? We're at MQ 5.3, and I'm not sure if we are at Domino R6 yet. |

Isn't there some API/tool for MQSeries talking to Lotus in particular?

| The problem you mention is that < MQ 5.3 had a Java support layer as a Cat 3 support pack, but it prereq'ed JDK 1.3+, whereas Domino 5 only supported JDK 1.1.8. This meant you couldnt do java applications with Domino 5, and therefore people were using the MQLSX cat 3 support pack. The resolution to this incompatibility was Domino 6 which ships a more recent JDK (you couldnt change Domino 5's one) and hence the MQ Java layer is the way to go. Btw by ignorance I meant me, not you! |
