Mike I suspect that you are referring to the Java Connector Architecture (JCA) implementation for MQ - if so and you have WAS 5 then I would agree with your contractor
I am currently confused about what is available to connect WAS to MQ There are certainly the following 1. MA88 implementation of JMS/MQ - folded into MQ5.3 - J2EE developers like this 2. MA88 implementation of Java MQ - MQ developers like this 3. Enterprise Access Builder for Transactions (EAB) for MQ - precursor to JCA generates MQ access codes I think with WSAD 4. WAS 5 supports J2EE 1.3 and EJB 2.0 including message driven beans 5. JCA for MQ - this is the implementation that I am least sure of - it became available with WAS 4.03 ? but never seemed to get to a production release. For WAS 5 I cannot find any definite documentation that it is available - there is certainly a third party product that supports it. JCA for MQ would certainly appear to be the preferred future direction - high volume, standard architecture, connection pooling, transaction support etc. Connection pooling and transaction support (JTA) are available under certain circumstances in MA88 Perhaps James Kingdon could clarify Brian S.
