You can use WebSphere MQ links to send a message from one WebSphere
MQ system to another through a WebSphere Application Server application
server.
You can exchange messages between two WebSphere MQ systems through an intermediate
application server, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 1. Exchanging messages between two WebSphere MQ networks through
an intermediate application server.
Although there are differences between
WebSphere Application Server and
WebSphere MQ,
WebSphere Application Server has
the WebSphere MQ link feature, which automatically takes care of most message
conversion (of course,
data conversion is under your control). A message
arriving at a target WebSphere MQ system is the same as that leaving the transmitting
WebSphere MQ system, despite its conversion from WebSphere MQ to
WebSphere Application Server and
back to WebSphere MQ format.
