End-user application support

You can connect a variety of end-user applications to the WebSphere® Event Broker brokers, and take advantage of the routing that it provides.

WebSphere Event Broker supports two application communication models:

  1. Point-to-point
  2. Publish/subscribe

These are defined in Application communication models.

Applications that use these models can connect to the broker using the following transports and protocols:

You can configure message flows to support these communication models and clients connecting over any one of these transports. Your message flows can be specific to one protocol, or can receive messages from applications communicating across one protocol and deliver messages to applications connecting across any one or more alternative protocols, with the broker providing automatic conversion between these protocols. You can also provide point-to-point and publish/subscribe support in a single message flow.

All message flows can support messages crossing from all transports to all other supported transports. Therefore if you start the message flow with an input node that supports messages from clients that connect through one transport, you can end it with any of the supported output nodes ; you do not have to include the corresponding output node.
