Java Messaging and SOAP transport
If you want
to use Java Messaging and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Support, you need a Java Runtime Environment Version 1.4.2 or
later. An appropriate runtime environment is provided in the JDK provided
on the
WebSphere MQ Server CD-ROM. This JDK
package can be selected for install during the installation procedure described
in this book, see
WMQ Components for package information.
The
JDK available on the server CD-ROM is:
- HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, Version 1.4.2
This JDK provides support for SOAP and are FIPS 140-2 compliant.
For
a list of alternative JDKs, see
www.ibm.com/software/integration/websphere/mqplatforms/supported.html
For WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 Java scripts to function properly a number
of environment variables must be set. For information on setting these environment
variables and general information about using Java with WebSphere MQ see, Using Java.
For
further information about SOAP see, WebSphere MQ Transport For SOAP book.
If
your JDK has not been supplied by IBM you should be aware that:
- The JDK may not be FIPS level 140-2 compliant and by using it with WebSphere MQ, will not comply the FIPS 140-2 standards.
- SOAP is not supported.
Secure Sockets Level (SSL)
If you want to use the
SSL support, you need IBM Global Security Kit V7. This is supplied with WebSphere MQ as one of the components available
for installation. If you are migrating from WebSphere MQ Version 5.3 and have
no other requirement for the IBM Global Security Kit V6 you can uninstall
it using the process described in Uninstalling WebSphere MQ, the
package name is gsk6bas.
To use SSL, WebSphere MQ
clients on HP-UX V11.0 must be built:
- Using the C++ compiler (not the C compiler)
- Using POSIX threads
- With the compiler options: -W1, +b/opt/ibm/gsk7/lib:/opt/mqm/lib
