One last question to consolidate my understanding before I head off to the WMQ forums. Andy, you say: "OK so in that case I can't see how you can get away without having a WMQ Queue Manager (messaging server) right next to your app and doing server<->server comms to theirs. I'm willing to be prov

I'm spiking a blocker on my current project, now that the client has provided us with further information regarding how we integrate with them via messaging queues. I've been googling and reading for a day or so, and I'm not 100% convinced that I've found evidence that I can integrate ActiveMQ with
