From the perspective of WMQ, WAS/ESB messaging engine appears to be just another WMQ server. From the perspective of WAS/ESB, WMQ appears to be a foreign bus. Thus, "foreign destinations" (WAS/ESB) and "remote queues" (WMQ) can be involved in message exchange with WAS using the MQ link.

Both point-to-point and PubSub style messaging can be used, and the MQ link maps corresponding message features as closely as possible. This is particularly useful for ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) designs, as it allows it to mediate messages from and to an MQ queue using JMS bindings.

A new feature of WebSphere 8 supports better provision of high availability for a WebSphere MQ queue manager that is connected to a WebSphere Application Server. High availability is configured by specifying multiple connection names in your WebSphere Application...
