MQSeries Programming Patterns

7.5. Application development

In this section, we explore the implementation of the send-and-forget, request/reply and message grouping point-to-point messaging patterns.

7.5.1. Point-to-point pattern

In this section we illustrate the point-to-point pattern with simple programs that implement this pattern.

In the point-to-point pattern, applications act in pairs. A sending application that we call as a sender puts messages on to an MQSeries application queue on the sending side. On the destination system or receiving side, an application that we call as a receiver retrieves messages from the MQSeries application queue. The sender and receiver applications thus act in pairs to achieve the data movement or messaging between the source and destination ...
