Weblogic JMS in Tandem

Question

Hi,
          Is it possible for an application running in Tandem server to post a
          message in a Message Queue running in Unix with Weblogic?
          Thx in advance

Hi Ravi,
          Short question, long answer!
          I guess the question is "Does WebLogic run on Tandem". I don't know.
          The WL client might, but the server might not. If the server does run
          (it is pure java after all), I suspect that the native socket drivers
          are not supported and that it will have to use the java socket drivers.
          I suggest contacting a BEA account rep to see what is supported.
          If your interested in a C client that is another story - one can use
          Tuxedo's C client which can talk directly to WebLogic directly
          via IIOP. It can't talk JMS, but it can talk to an EJB which
          could in turn talk JMS.
          If you actually have a Tuxedo server, you could use
          Tuxedo's "Jolt" java client or Tuxedo's C client
          to talk to Tuxedo and in turn use WebLogic's built-in
          "WTC" bridge to forward the requests into WebLogic.
          Additionally, since WebLogic understands IIOP, and the later JVMs
          have built-in IIOP capability, I think you can invoke a WebLogic
          service that in turn invokes JMS without any WebLogic code at all!
          Post to the rmi-iiop newsgroup for info.
          You can also use a web-service to post to a queue (basically
          a servlet). This has lower performance and QOS but may suffice
          for your purposes. There is a built-in web-service for this
          purpose, but I don't know how to activate it. Or even
          where to look it up in the docs. (Sorry.)
          Finally, if you have a messaging engine that is JMS capable
          running on Tandem, you can use the JMS bridge or even an MDB
          to get the messages. (See the "Using Foreign JMS Providers
          With WebLogic Server" whitepaper available on dev2dev.bea.com.
          Hope this helps,
          Tom
