Welcome to MQe

Publication form number
SC34-6609-00

The full name of this product is WebSphere® MQ Everyplace® Version 2 Release 0 Modification 2, more usually expressed as WebSphere MQ Everyplace V2.0.2.

In this documentation, the product is generally referred to simply as MQe.

MQe is used for secure messaging on lightweight devices such as sensors, phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and laptop and desktop computers.

Programming Interfaces

The application programming interface to MQe is referred to in this documentation as the MQe API. The MQe API supports the Java™ and C programming languages as follows:

Java
Provides access to all MQe function at Version 2.

There are three versions of the C support:

The Native C code base
Provides access to a subset of MQe function, the main restriction being that only a device queue manager can be used, so it can only send messages, not receive them.
The C Bindings
Are supplied for use until the Native C code base provides full functionality. Your application calls the C API in the bindings, and the call is routed to the Java classes for MQe to carry out the function. The bindings were written for MQe Version 1, but still provide access to nearly all of the Java function in MQe Version 2.

For more details on the code base see Code base.
