Connecting to IBM WebSphere MQ (now known as IBM MQ) in Java
involves using the IBM MQ Java client libraries. Below are the steps and an
example code to establish a connection to IBM MQ.
Step 1: Add IBM MQ Client Library
Make sure you have the IBM MQ client JAR files. If you're
using Maven, you can add the dependency for the IBM MQ client.
Add the following dependency to your pom.xml:
xml
<dependency> <groupId>com.ibm.mq</groupId>
<artifactId>com.ibm.mq.allclient</artifactId> <version>9.2.0.0</version> </dependency> |
Step 2: Connection Configuration
Define the connection configuration parameters such as the
queue manager name, channel, connection name (host and port), user, and
password.
Step 3: Establish Connection and Send/Receive Messages
Here’s an example Java code to connect to IBM MQ, put a
message on a queue, and then get a message from the queue:
java
import
com.ibm.mq.MQException; import
com.ibm.mq.constants.CMQC; import
com.ibm.mq.MQQueue; import
com.ibm.mq.MQQueueManager; import
com.ibm.mq.MQPutMessageOptions; import
com.ibm.mq.MQGetMessageOptions; import
com.ibm.mq.MQMessage; public class
MQExample { public static void main(String[] args) { String host = "localhost"; int port = 1414; String channel =
"SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN"; String queueManagerName =
"QM1"; String queueName =
"QUEUE1"; String user = "yourUser"; String password =
"yourPassword"; MQQueueManager queueManager = null; try { // Set the MQ connection
properties com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.hostname
= host; com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.port =
port; com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.channel
= channel; com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.userID =
user; com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.password
= password; // Initiate a connection with the
QueueManager. queueManager = new
MQQueueManager(queueManagerName); // Clarify which queue we would
like to open and specify the options available for that action. int openOptions =
CMQC.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF | CMQC.MQOO_OUTPUT; // Kindly identify the queue we
intend to open and outline the options for doing so. MQQueue queue =
queueManager.accessQueue(queueName, openOptions); // Create a message MQMessage putMessage = new
MQMessage();
putMessage.writeString("Hello, World!"); // Specify the message options
object MQPutMessageOptions pmo = new
MQPutMessageOptions(); // Insert the message into the
queue. queue.put(putMessage, pmo); System.out.println("Message
sent to queue: " + queueName); // Get the message from the queue MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new
MQGetMessageOptions(); MQMessage getMessage = new
MQMessage(); queue.get(getMessage, gmo); String messageText =
getMessage.readStringOfByteLength(getMessage.getMessageLength()); System.out.println("Message
received from queue: " + messageText); // Close the queue queue.close(); } catch (MQException mqe) { System.out.println("There
was an issue with WebSphere MQ. " +
mqe.completionCode + " Reason code " + mqe.reasonCode); } catch (java.io.IOException ex) { System.out.println("An
IOException occurred whilst writing to the message buffer: " + ex); } finally { if (queueManager != null) { try {
queueManager.disconnect(); } catch (MQException mqe) { System.out.println("There
was an issue with WebSphere MQ whilst disconnecting: Completion code " +
mqe.completionCode + " Reason code " + mqe.reasonCode); } } } } } |
Explanation
- Dependencies:
- Ensure
you have the IBM MQ client JAR files in your classpath. If using Maven,
include the dependency as shown above.
- Connection
Properties:
- com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.hostname,
com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.port, com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.channel,
com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.userID, and com.ibm.mq.MQEnvironment.password
are used to set the connection properties for the MQ environment.
- Queue
Manager and Queue:
- MQQueueManager
queueManager = new MQQueueManager(queueManagerName); establishes a
connection to the specified queue manager.
- MQQueue
queue = queueManager.accessQueue(queueName, openOptions); opens the
specified queue with the given options.
- Message
Handling:
- Create
a message using MQMessage.
- Set
message content using putMessage.writeString("Hello, World!");.
- Put
the message on the queue using queue.put(putMessage, pmo);.
- Get
the message from the queue using queue.get(getMessage, gmo);.
- Exception
Handling:
- Handle
exceptions such as MQException and IOException.
- Clean
Up:
- Ensure
that the queue and queue manager are properly closed and disconnected in
the finally block.

package

Step 2
package
com.mq.in; * producing a
hex dump of the body. Please be aware that this operation focuses solely * on the
first 1K of the message body.

Convert the two pairs of bytes into a short and then represent it as a hex
string. |
An in-depth implementation for a message queue (MQ) handler
using IBM WebSphere MQ (IBM MQ). It consists of functionality to connect to an
MQ server, receive and send messages between queues, handle various message
types, and process message headers.
Here’s a summary of the main features and some optimizations
for clarity and error-handling:
Main Features:
- MQ
Connection Setup: The initialize method sets up the connection factory
with the MQ server, host, port, and queue manager.
- Message
Transfer: The transferDataFromOneQueueToAnotherQueue method
establishes sessions and consumers for the source queue and producers for
the destination queue.
- Receiving
Messages: The getMessageFromMq method retrieves messages from the
source queue, validates, and optionally sends them to the destination
queue after calling sendHarrierMsgToMQ.
- Sending
Messages: The sendHarrierMsgToMQ method sends validated messages to
the destination queue and handles MQ-specific errors.
- Message
Conversion and Processing: Helper methods like jmsMsgBodyAsString,
jmsBytesBodyAsString, and jmsHeadersToHashMap convert various message
types (e.g., TextMessage, BytesMessage, MapMessage) to a string format for
easier processing.
- Thread
Management: The run method launches threads for
ReceiveMessageProcessor and SendMessageProcessor to manage message flow
concurrently.
- Error
Handling and Cleanup: The cleanUp method ensures that MQ resources
like sessions and connections are closed properly if an error occurs or
when the application shuts down.
Conclusion
This example demonstrates how to connect to IBM MQ, put a
message on a queue, and retrieve a message from the queue using Java. This
provides a basic foundation for interacting with IBM MQ from Java applications.
