Whether to use the default messaging provider, the direct <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ<br />

messaging provider, or a combination depends on a number of factors. There is<br />

no set of questions that can lead you directly to the decision. However, consider<br />

the following guidelines.<br />

In general, the default messaging provider is a good choice for the following<br />

circumstances:<br />

► You are currently using the <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> V5 embedded<br />

messaging provider for intra-<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> messaging.<br />

► You require messaging between <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> and an<br />

existing <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ backbone and its applications.<br />

The <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ messaging provider is good choice for the following<br />

circumstances:<br />

► You are currently using a <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ messaging provider and simply<br />

want to continue using it.<br />

► You require access to heterogeneous, non-JMS Enterprise Information<br />

Systems (EIS).<br />

► You require access to <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ clustering.<br />

Using a topology that combines <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ and the default messaging<br />

provider gives you the benefit of the tight integration between <strong>WebSphere</strong> and<br />

the default messaging provider (clustering), and the flexibility of <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ.<br />

For more information about messaging with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> and<br />

about new features for <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ connectivity see the following <strong>IBM</strong><br />

Connecting <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> to <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ<br />

If you decide to use a topology that includes both <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ and the default<br />

messaging provider, there are two mechanisms to allow interaction between<br />

them:<br />

► Extend the <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ and service integration bus networks by defining<br />

a <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ link on a messaging engine in a <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong> that connects the service integration bus to a <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ queue<br />

manager.<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ sees the connected service integration bus as a queue<br />

manager. The service integration bus sees the <strong>WebSphere</strong> MQ network as<br />

another service integration bus.<br />
