Any open source message queue that can be used to send messages from COBOL to Java? [closed]
Question
I have a Java stack (Tomcat, etc) and I need to send messages from a mainframe running COBOL to the Java end. Any of the open source queues available can do that?
Solution
Sure, Java Messaging interoperates with IBM. On the IBM side you need to be able to talk to MQSeries. Try starting with this DeveloperWorks site.
OTHER TIPS
Websphere MQ is going to be the best (i.e. most supported) method for doing this. There are clients for a large number of different systems and it runs on all the mainframe OS'. It's not open source but the client libraries can still be obtained for no money, I believe.
