MQ and Web Services
WebSphere MQ can be used as a foundation for creating Service Oriented Architectures. Several additional product options exist to help convert legacy programs into functioning Web services through the use of MQ. Larger, heterogeneous enterprises often appear as a federation of somewhat autonomous domains based on lines of business, functional or governance areas. In such environments, some services may be shared or reused only within a single domain, while others may be shared or reused throughout the enterprise. WebSphere MQ provides the means by which communication exists between lines-of-business or otherwise separate business domains.
A related product in the WebSphere MQ product family called WebSphere Message Broker enables a diverse and robust set of extensions to queue-based architectures. Using Message Broker, one can implement a WebServices front-end, complete with WSDL file support that can interact with any queue-based application.

Famous quotes containing the words web and/or services:
“Ye whose clay-cold heads and luke-warm hearts can argue down or mask your passions—tell me, what trespass is it that man should have them?... If nature has so wove her web of kindness, that some threads of love and desire are entangled with the piece—must the whole web be rent in drawing them out?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
