Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) is a category of connectivity middleware that provide program-to-program communications by message passing. MOM, because it generally supports multiple protocols, comprises an infrastructure that will support reliable and scalable high-performance distributed application networks. Most Message Oriented Middleware is implemented with queued message store-and-forward capability and it is this feature the Portus supports.
In particular the systems supported by Portus are IBM WebSphere MQ and Software AG EntireX Broker.
There are 2 ways to integrate a messaging sytem with Portus.
To monitor for Portus specific requests, to process these and issue a response.
To log Usage Governance Data.
Tutorials are available which demonstrate these 2 capabilites.
The first tutorial uses Portus to write usage governance data to a messaging system and a second Portus to process these and store them in a database. See here for details on this.
This tutorial uses a Java client to access the WSDL of a web service supporting MQ and call it using SOAP over MQ. See here for details on this.
