Channel compression in IBM MQ classes for Java

How can I implement a data compression plan other than RLE,ZLIBFAST or ZLIBHIGH for channel compression in IBM MQ using Java classes?

There are several algorithms like Lempel,DEFLATE and Huffman coding for data compression.Can I use these algorithms for my implementation?

I would strongly suggest you use the builtin compress features because otherwise you will need to write send and receive exits for MQ. You will need above average programming skills and a very strong knowledge of MQ to do this.

Yes, you can write the client-side in Java but the server-side must be written in C or Assembler!

Once you go down this path, are you prepared to support other client-side platforms? i.e. native (C or COBOL), .NET, C++, etc..

Also, application messages are segmented into 32KB chunks. All segments that move between the client-side and server-side (and vice versa) are prefix with a TSH header. IBM does not document the TSH structure because they don't want people messing with it. Although, Wire Shark has done a good job of interpreting it (except for the new TSHC & TSHM headers).

There is absolutely nothing simple about your question. I know because I have written a lot of MQ exits.
