RemoteMQSC
icon1 Niklas | icon2 Tags: , . | icon4 08 15th, 2004| icon33 Comments »

I’ve uploaded the first release of a small project of mine, RemoteMQSC. If you have ever used WebSphere MQ you’ve probably used MQ script and the runmqsc (strmqmmqsc on AS400) command. RemoteMQSC does exactly the same thing but for remote MQ servers. RemoteMQSC runs as a MQ client and sends the script commands as escaped PCF messages.

To run the program, the simplest command is:

java -jar remotemqsc.jar -hostname yourhost

The command requires a host name but can also include the following parameters:

* -channel SOME.CHANNEL
* -port 1881
* -sslciphersuite SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5
* -userID someuser
* -password secret
* -CCSID 850

Note that since I’m not allowed to distribute the IBM JAR files you will have to copy them into the RemoteMQSC directory on your own. The required JARs are:

* com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
* com.ibm.mq.jar
* connector.jar

Right now the source code is hosted on my private CVS server so if you want the source code, please send me an email and I’ll send it to you.

Java Technology Concept Map

The Java Technology Concept Map is a overview of most of the “official” Java technologies. Quite a nice picture of what we got and how it’s all connected. I wonder if it will be possible to get as a huge printout for the office wall without having to glue up the 18 papers it would take me to print it myself?

Spring support in Geronimo

James Strachan has hacked up support for Spring in Geronimo. When ready it will enable including a Spring deployment descriptor in your EAR and it will run in the application server. This is excellent news and a very cool feature while waiting for EJB3.

And the same thing is happing for Hibernate.

Kevin, the best SVG developer around, has been hired by Xamlon. I did som minor work together with Kev on Xamlon and must say that they have a quite impressive product on their hands. The vector rendering engine that Kev has written is very well written and competent.

No blogging for a long time, I think it’s time to start again. And to join the flood of people moving from MT to WordPress.
