Technical :: IBM > WebSphereMQ Explorer | ||||||||
I was a member of the development team creating a new Java-based user interface for IBM
WebSphere MQ (Explorer v6).
Project Background
Introduction
IBM WebSphere MQ is corporate "middleware". It is designed to allow businesses to connect
various applications together - even if the different applications are running on different operating
systems and on various types of machines.
In this way, it allows companies to reliably create, manage and administer very large-scale networks.
The software was released with a simple Windows application called Explorer, which provided a
graphical user intefcace allowing basic administration of the MQ network. Administration from
other platforms, or using more sophisticated commands, was provided by a command line interface.
Project aims
This project involved creating a new version of the graphical Explorer application. The new version needed
to support other platforms, previously limited to the command-line tool.
It also needed to include more
advanced functionality - allowing easier access to some of WebSphere MQ's more complicated functions which
could previously only be accessed by the command-line.
Project technologies
The new application was created as a Java application built on the
Eclipse platform. This helped to provide a framework that would
allow the application to run on a variety of platforms.
Activities
![]() I was also involved in development on the core Explorer - ensuring functions on the old Explorer were still supported.
This included work in a variety of areas, including:
