Service Component Architecture (SCA) modules can communicate with WebSphere® MQ applications much in the same way as they do other SCA modules. A module that wants to send requests to a WebSphere MQ application uses an import configured with the correct response and request queues associated with that application. Similarly, an SCA module can provide services to a WebSphere MQ application using an export configured with the appropriate application request and response queues. You define the connections between the SCA modules and the WebSphere MQ queues when you build your module in WebSphere Integration Developer (WID).
From the WebSphere MQ queue manager perspective, the SCA module looks as if it were a normal MQ client. From the SCA module end, the WebSphere MQ queue looks like any other service. You can even further shield the SCA module from the WebSphere MQ queues by using a mediation module between the SCA module and the WebSphere MQ queue and let the mediation transform the original SCA request to the correct format for the target queue and handle the response when it becomes available.
