Re: Web Services with IBM solutions

Kelly,

I thought you were using PHP and some other things.  So then SOAP or REST web services might do the trick.  Or, do you need a transport mechanism with more resilience like an MQ Series sort of thing.  More details would be helpful as there are MANY messaging solutions in both the commercial and open source space.

Regards,

Mike

Subject: [WEB400] Web Services with IBM solutions

Sorry, I intended to make this a new thread...

I was recently asked to look at options for messaging on the IBMi. The first IBM solutions that I happened to come across were WebSphere Message Broker, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and Integrated Web Services. 

I'm not limiting my search to IBM solutions, but I would like to know more about them.

What are some of the pros and cons of these three IBM solutions? Has anyone used these solutions? What were your experiences?

Thanks,
Kelly
