Java Messaging and SOAP transport
If you want
to use Java Messaging and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Support, you need a Java Runtime Environment Version 1.4.2 or
later. An appropriate runtime environment is provided in the JDK provided
on the
WebSphere MQ Server CD-ROM. This JDK
package can be selected for install during the installation procedure described
in this book, see
WMQ Components for package information.
The
JDK available on the server CD-ROM is:
- HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, Version 1.4.2
This JDK provides support for SOAP and are FIPS 140-2 compliant.
For
a list of alternative JDKs, see
www.ibm.com/software/integration/websphere/mqplatforms/supported.html
For WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 Java scripts to function properly a number
of environment variables must be set. For information on setting these environment
variables and general information about using Java with WebSphere MQ see, Using Java.
For
further information about SOAP see, WebSphere MQ Transport For SOAP book.
If
your JDK has not been supplied by IBM you should be aware that:
- The JDK may not be FIPS level 140-2 compliant and by using it with WebSphere MQ, will not comply the FIPS 140-2 standards.
- SOAP is not supported.
Secure Sockets Level (SSL)
If you want
to use the SSL support with WebSphere MQ for HP-UX, you need to install the IBM Global
Security Kit (GSKit) V7 package: gsk7bas64. This is supplied with WebSphere MQ as
one of the components available for installation.
If you are migrating
from WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 and have no other requirement for the IBM Global Security
Kit V6 you can uninstall it using the process described in Uninstalling WebSphere MQ,
the package name is gsk6bas.
Note: 
If you are
using WebSphere MQ for HP-UX on
IA64
(IPF),
there is no support for 32-bit SSL. The WebSphere MQ documentation describes
the use of the 32-bit GSKit commands (for example, gsk7cmd and gsk7ikm) on
the HP-UX for
IA64
(IPF) platform. You
must use the equivalent 64-bit variants (for example, gsk7cmd64 and gsk7ikm64
).
