Hi

I have been asked to design a new MQ solution for a Java based application (running on a Java server) that send messages to MQ Gateway queue manager.Communication is bidirectional but most of the time messages will be sent from Java app to Gateway server.I'm thinking to install MQ client on Java Server .I have two questions

The Java Server is not a websphere/Jboss/Weblogic or any sort of thing ,its a vendor product bundled in a Java environment

1) Is MQ client right choice in this situation? MQ gateway servers are clustered ,if I go with MQ client ,will I be able to configure my Java server to more than one MQ Gateway Queue Manager? How?

2) I'm going to suggest to developers to use IBM MQ class for JMS to connect to Gateway queue manager(rationale - application is Java based) ,is there any reason not to use JMS class and go for MQI for development? Does one provide benefit over the other interms of connecting to clustered gateway queue manager?

Any inputs appreciated

Thanks
L

If you don't plan to install and maintain a queue manager on this Java server (with all the costs and overhead entailed) then the client is your only option.

Define "clustered". Seriously. Do you mean a single MQ queue manager on an HA cluster? Multiple MQ queue managers each on their own HA cluster? Multiple queue managers in an MQ cluster? "Cluster" is an overloaded term.

Yes.

The same way you'd do it if the application was using the MQ server code, but with less MQ-side configuration.

No.

No, because there's very little difference between a clustered queue manager and an unclustered one, depending on what you mean by "clustered"

Sorry Can you please explain bit more
My question was around ,what are the options we have , connecting to QM from mq client. I understand 1) CCDT 2) exporting environment variable in linux 3)?

As the requirement is to connect to more than one QM from client,are we left with only using CCDT?.

In your reply you mentioned about using MQ server code are you referring to using custom written J2EE code?

I would like to know "recommended"(if possible) way of connecting from mq client to multiple Queue Managers

Thanks

The way to do that is to use the hashtable variant for instantiating the connection factory.
Or setting the properties of the connectionFactory as you build them...

Have fun
