You can enable JMS interaction with a WebSphere® MQ network by using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. Service integration can also provide interoperation through a WebSphere MQ link or a WebSphere MQ server. Each type of connectivity is designed for different situations, and provides different advantages.
In this release, the relationship between the available JMS messaging providers is explored in some detail in Choosing a messaging provider and (for messaging environments that involve both WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application Server) Choosing messaging providers for a mixed environment.
In this release, the procedure to create a new WebSphere MQ link is simplified. Instead of configuring each resource separately, you use the foreign bus connection wizard to connect a bus and a WebSphere MQ network. You configure the connection for either point-to-point messaging or publish-subscribe messaging. As part of this process, the WebSphere MQ link is created and configured.
Similarly, in this release you use a wizard to remove a foreign bus connection between a service integration bus and a WebSphere MQ network. As part of this process, the associated WebSphere MQ link is deleted, along with any publish/subscribe broker profiles and topic mappings.
