The first step towards an SOA connection: WebSphere MQ V7 new features

Objective

SOA message backbone, which is the best portrayal of the WebSphere MQ V7.0. It can cross the Java EE, microsoft.net and other environment, support up to 35 kinds of platforms; it supports new technologies and standards such as JMS, Web2.0, and it also has a comprehensive security mechanism secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and by various means, Continuously optimize performance and simplify management.

The new features of WebSphere MQ V7.0 include support for Web 2.0, enhancements to built-in publish/subscribe capabilities, enhancements to MQ Client, JMS, MQI, and enhancements to management, and so on. Below, we'll give you a detailed description of these enhancements.

Enhancements to Features

Support for Web 2.0

Web 2.0 creates a user interface by adopting new web technologies, such as AJAX, and concise technologies such as rest. Compelling and valuable user interfaces require more than interfaces and tools, and access to meaningful, up-to-date business data is essential to delivering real value to Web 2.0 users. The WebSphere MQ V7.0 establishes a link between the actual business data of the core application and Web 2.0, reflecting the value of the data and making it more easily available to Web 2.0 users. The WebSphere MQ V7.0 provides an HTTP Network Bridge (formerly known as Supportpac ma0y) that links Ajax applications with the WebSphere MQ backbone using the rest programming model.

The WebSphere MQ V7.0 connects Web 2.0 with the Enterprise core system, enabling users to have a richer experience and embodying the value of business data. WEB 2.0 developers can connect new applications to their core business systems without the need for WebSphere MQ knowledge or skills. Point-to-Point and publish/Subscribe two messaging modes can be accessed by mapping to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the WebSphere MQ queue and theme. REST verb GET, DELETE, and POST are mapped to Mqget and Mqput calls to queues or themes, as shown in the following table:

Table 1 Examples of REST URIs

REST URIs Examples	Resource is a queue	Resources are topics	MQ API
This. Xmlhttprequest.open (' Get ', "Http://host/msg/queue/resource");	Read the next message from the queue	Reads the next message that matches a theme	Mqget with Browse
This. Xmlhttprequest.open (' POST ', "Http://host/msg/queue/resource");	Putting messages into queues	Post a message about a topic	Mqput
This. Xmlhttprequest.open (' DELETE ', "Http://host/msg/queue/resource");	Delete a message from a queue	Read the messages that are subscribed to and delete	Mqget
