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:
“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
