This section describes some requirements that have shaped the design
and implementation of WebSphere MQ Everyplace.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace extends the messaging scope of the WebSphere MQ
family by:
- Supporting low-end devices, such as PDAs, telephones, and sensors.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace also supports intermediate devices such as
laptops, workstations, distributed, and host platforms. WebSphere MQ Everyplace offers once and once-only assured delivery
of messages, and permits message exchange with other family members.
- Offering lightweight messaging facilities.
- Providing extensive security features to protect messages, queues, and
related data, whether in storage or in transmission.
- Operating efficiently in hostile communications environments where
networks are unstable, or where bandwidth is tightly constrained.
WebSphere MQ Everyplace has an efficient wire protocol and automated recovery
from communication link failures.
- Supporting the mobile user, allowing network connectivity points to change
as devices roam. WebSphere MQ Everyplace also allows control of
behavior in conditions where battery resources and networks are
constrained.
- Operating through suitably configured firewalls.
- Minimizing administration tasks for the user. This makes WebSphere
MQ Everyplace a suitable base on which to build utility-style
applications.
- Being easily customized and extended, through the use of
application-supplied rules
