hi, I tried searching but to not much avail
I want to be able to use a MQ client via JNI and the MQ client has to be able to run on FreeBSD.
Also is it still the case that MQ clients are free but that the server i.e. the manager is not.
thanks in advance

Why wouldn't you want to use the Java client?

Yes, IBM have this whole "revenue stream" thing going on.

a "free" Java client which did not rely on anything I had to pay for would be great. We just need connectivity to a third party's queue manager.
So let me re-phrase is there a free MQ Java client and if so where can I get it from? Sorry, if these are obvious questions we don't use Java on a regular basis.
Also would this "free" Java client be able to run on FreeBSD? Again, sorry if this has an obvious answer.
Finally, don't mind IBM's "revenue stream" thing but I was just told that just to get a Java MQ client that one needed to purchase the entire Websphere app server which seemed ludicrous. I think that the party may be misinformed and therefore I"m checking with you all.
thanks in advance

The Java API is not a standalone install. You can download the regular MQ Client (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/product.jsp?s=p&id=TDUN-49EVER) for Linux.
For a purely client connection, you only need a couple of the jar files (com.ibm.mq.jar, and maybe one more). But it's not, I believe, a supported configuration to only move the jar files to another platform. I've done this with v5.3 jars on MacOS X and it worked, so FreeBSD shouldn't be an issue.
You can also look at http://www.willowtech.com/products.htm for (third-party) supported BSD editions of MQ.
If you need your Java code to use XA, then you need to pay money for something, either a queue manager or the Extended Transactional Client or WAS, but I don't think any of those are supported on FreeBSD (I don't know for sure, though).

Typically the client is free, and I apologise for being somewhat obtuse before.
The client code can be downloaded from:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24009961
I know little about Java and less about FreeBSD so I leave other contributors to talk about those.
