WebSphere MQ Web Services Transport

WebSphere MQ Web Services Transport is a service that connects Web services clients that use the HTTP protocol for messaging.

Web services clients use non-persistent, non-transactional messaging to communicate with other applications. WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker provides support to allow these clients to communicate with other applications through message flows in a broker.

The clients are either service providers or service requesters. Service providers publish their services, defined in WSDL, to a registry. The service requesters query the service registry to find information about available services, including where these services are and how to bind to them.

The ability to communicate with a broker means that Web services clients can communicate with applications that use other supported protocols and transports, if the message flow is configured to provide this function.
