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:
- IBM 32-bit
SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition, 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
further information about using Java with WebSphere MQ see, Using Java.
For
further information about SOAP see, WebSphere MQ Transport For SOAP book.
If
you use a JDK other than the one supplied by
WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 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.
On Solaris, the 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs are typically
installed to the same directory. To run a 64-bit JVM use the -d64 or -d32
parameters on the command line when running a Java application to ensure the correct JVM
is used.
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.rte.
