Hi, I am new to MQ exits. 
Per my understanding Exits can be coding only in C (and maybe in C++ as well). This is because MQ software itself is coded in C.
I wanted to know if any other programming languages can be used to code MQ exits such as Java,.Net etc?
lets say if it is possible to code MQ exits is Java, is it any better than Exit coded in C ?(C code is supposed to run faster) |

No.

Exits can be coded in Java, but they are limited to only run on Client channels under the Java MQ Classes. eg. they can be used in MQ Explorer.
Exits can be written in assembler on z/OS. (yuk)
C is by far the best choice for general MQ exits, as the same source code can be used on a range of platforms.
There are sample exits available written in C, eg. AMQSQRMA.C, AMQSSPIN.C, AMQSXRMA.C.
As has been said many times on this forum, MQ exit programming is an advanced topic. Are you thinking of writing an exit?

Exits can be written in any language.
That you are willing to hand-code a C-language binding to, for example a JNI interface or by embedding a Perl interpreter and using XS.
Or whatever yon strange beastie is required by such silly languages as Python, JavaScript or PHP.
But, you know, almost certainly far too much work for what you want, far too fragile, and far too complicated.
Just ignore MQ exits entirely.
Restate your *business requirements* and we'll tell you how to solve them *sensibly*. |

Sound advice! I always wanted to write an exit in LISP or SNOBOL or FORTH, but I'm not really into self flagellation.
