Hi All,
I have been asked if we can push MQ messages from a queue to a Web Service on the Dynamics CRM 2011 platform.
My client wants to upgrade their current interface that uses a queue-to-file program to drop MQ messages into a directory and then FTP it to the target server. That directory gets polled and processes any new files. This obviously isn't a very clever or robust solution and hence the desire to upgrade. The interface is very low volume and therefore wouldn't justify the cost of a proprietary solution and the client doesn't have access to the necessary programming skills to develop their own solution.
Looking at the supported software in MQ7 I see that it provides SOAP support via Apache Axis v1.4 and having had some exposure to Broker, I was wondering if I could maybe provide the above functionality using open source software and remove the need for programming skills. I am new to this area and realise I might be making wild, unfounded assumptions.
So what does the SOAP support in MQ7 offer? Would it be possible to implement something like the Apache ActiveMQ broker to pull messages off MQ and push them into a Web Service?
Does anybody have any experience along these lines? Am I aiming a little high? All comments/thoughts welcome.
Thanx,
Kerry. |

I don't know if MQ can access a web service hosted elsewhere to deliver messages. That sounds more like a job for WMB.
I suspect it's more the other way around. MQ can host a web service that can be used to get or put messages to the queue manager.
Can the design be changed to a pull model, rather than a push model? |

The SOAP support in MQ provides a way of using SOAP messages WITHOUT using HTTP, so it does not apply here.
The HTTP Bridge in MQ provides a means for an HTTP Client to perform MQ operations - it does not provide a means for the queue manager to ACT as an HTTPClient.
There is are a few kinds of open source Brokers that may help.
But for the general case you have stated - take an MQ message and send it to a WebService, there is almost certainly going to have to be message transformation involved of some kind.
And that flat out requires programming. |
