How to use this book
This book contains guidance information to help you to design an application,
and procedural information to help you to write an application.
The book is divided into five parts:
- Designing applications that use WebSphere MQ
- Introduces the message queuing style of application design, describes WebSphere(R) MQ
messages and queues, and shows how to design a message queuing application.
- Writing a WebSphere MQ application
- Describes how to use the IBM(R) Message Queue Interface (MQI) to write
the programs that comprise a message queuing application. The chapters guide
you through the coding of each MQI call, showing you what information to supply
as input and what returns to expect. These chapters first describe simple
uses of the MQI calls, then go on to describe how to use all the features
of each call.
Read Designing applications that use WebSphere MQ to understand the concepts involved
when designing WebSphere MQ applications. The second part is self-contained: use
an individual chapter when you are performing the task described in it.
- Building a WebSphere MQ application
- Explains how to build your WebSphere MQ application on each platform.
- Sample WebSphere MQ programs
- Lists and explains how the sample programs work, for all platforms.
- The appendixes
- Contain examples of how to use the MQI calls in each of the programming
languages supported by WebSphere MQ.
