WebSphere Business Integration Adapters implemented with WebSphere Application Server as the integration broker use WebSphere MQ queues and Java Messaging Service (JMS) software as the communication transport mechanism between the connector framework and the integration broker. Connectors read messages from and write messages to pre-defined queues, managed by the WebSphere MQ Queue manager.
This chapter describes in detail the messaging interfaces and protocols used to exchange data among applications in the WebSphere business integration system.
