Support of Service Oriented Architecture
WebSphere MQ is a key component in IBM's service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategy providing the universal messaging backbone across 80 different platforms. The growing importance of SOA and the growth of Web Services and other connectivity mechanisms are clearly important developments. Because of the loosely coupled nature of the message queueing model, a large number of existing MQ customers feel that they are already adopting SOA principles. The MQ Service definition support pack MA93 allows MQ applications to be catalogued as software assets that can be reused and composed as Web Services.
MQ also supports Enterprise Service Bus implementations, both proprietary and open source. For example, the Mule WMQ transport is available with Mule Enterprise Edition version 1.6 or later and, as of 2.2, contains many critical performance and reliability improvements as well as native support for WebSphere MQ-specific features.
