Can message driven bean pickup message from mainframe queue?

Question

In our Java EE application, we were using middleware queues. From that queue, we will pick up a message and we will do processing.

Now, our client is going to put a message in a mainframe queue. Is it possible to pick up the message from that mainframe queue? Do we need to configure anything from our side of the code to pick it up?

Answer 1

It depends on how they set the queue up. If your using MQ, it needs to forward messages to your queue if they are using separate queue managers.

Assuming it was done correctly, you shouldn't need to do much. At most, subscribe to another queue.
