Which code base to use

The MQe Application Programming Interface (API) is the programming interface to MQe. Two languages are supported, Java™ and C.

The Java version provides access to all MQe functions. The detailed classes, methods, and procedures are described in the Java Programming Reference. Examples of MQe programming are given throughout this information center.

There are three versions of the C support:

The Native C code base provides access to a major subset of MQe functions. As the C code base is a device queue manager only it:
  • Does not support store-and-forward queues or bridge queues
  • Supports the HTTP adapter only
  • Supports the RLE compressor only
  • Supports the RC4 cryptor only
  • Supports the MAttribute and local security features only
The detailed methods and procedures are described in the C Programming Reference. Examples of programming MQe for the C bindings are given throughout this information center.

The C Bindings are supplied for use until the Native C code base provides full functionality. They provide access to a major subset of MQe functions. The detailed methods and procedures are described in the C Programming Reference. Examples of programming MQe for the C bindings are given in the C Bindings Programming Reference.
