Simply because I don't know of another messaging server that will connect to a WMQ queue manager over sender/receiver channels, and if you use client connections (SVRCONN) you'll have no local queueing and have to handle connection broken error conditions in your app.
Again, I may be misunderstanding how AMQ behaves here... If it's possible to use AMQ as your local queueing infrastructure and have that do the "buffering"/ bridging to WMQ as we discussed then ignore my assertion that you need WMQ both sides :-) Hope I've not confused everyone too much, I'm learning here too! ----- Andy Piper IBM WebSphere Messaging Community Lead http://andypiper.co.uk -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-integration-with-WebSphere-MQ-tp3550031p3565365.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
