Hi all, I want to Connect to IBM MQ from Rails/Ruby, can it be done? and get the messages from the Queue, then i want to use this message in ruby/rails. Is there a direct way of doing the above job?? If so any packages are available? If there is not a way currently, and any thoughts of how we can do the above job indirectly through some other means or round about ways or workarounds can be thought of ?. Appreciate your comments. Thank You, Dinesh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
In the past, I''ve done this via COM from a Windows PC running Ruby. Works fine, and the throughput is surprisingly good. You can find details of how to access MQ via COM from IBM''s site - it''s in the downloadable documentation set, and wasn''t hard to track down if my memory''s correct. Details of how to use COM from Ruby on a Windows PC are in the Programming Ruby book. Regards Dave M.

Another alternative would be to write an extension to make use of the C API directly (if you are not on windows). Seeing as MQ has about 70% market share, I think this is a project folks might be willing to help with. -Brian On 6/25/06, David Mitchell <monch1962@gmail.com> wrote:> > In the past, I''ve done this via COM from a Windows PC running Ruby. > Works fine, and the throughput is surprisingly good. > > You can find details of how to access MQ via COM from IBM''s site - > it''s in the downloadable documentation set, and wasn''t hard to track > down if my memory''s correct. > > Details of how to use COM from Ruby on a Windows PC are in the > Programming Ruby book. > > Regards > > Dave M. > > On 23/06/06, Dinesh Umanath <u_dinesh@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I want to Connect to IBM MQ from Rails/Ruby, can it be done? and get the > > messages from the Queue, then i want to use this message in ruby/rails. > > > > Is there a direct way of doing the above job??

Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. Ya since our production box is going to be on a AIX box, i think i cannot go for COM interface and going with C extension would be better we believe. Do you have any docs / samples which access the MQI Interface using the C extension from Ruby? If you have it can you pl let me know the pointers pl?

Appreciate your comments.You could use ActiveMQ as a bridge. ActiveMQ supports the STOMP protocol which has ruby bindings.
Thanks Bryan for the replies. So if i''m correct, what you meant is having an option to "Re-direct all the messages from WebSphere MQ to ActiveMQ as and when it arrives ", and then from ruby use STOMP to get the messages?

This http://rubyforge.org/projects/yajb/ is pure ruby, and if you are familar with the MQ java api it may be the way to go. I think it uses XML-RPC, which maybe a limiter to throughput, although if you are driving things from a webapp this may not be a problem. cheers lyndon -- Into RFID? www.rfidnewsupdate.com Simple, fast, news. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Lyndon, When i hit the link http://rubyforge.org/projects/yajb/, it says "This Project Has Not Released Any Files" and the status says "Beta", so it is not published to rubyforge site yet?? Thanks..

I''ve used this to drive some XSLFO stuff (using Apache FOP) and can say it works well (if you can get past the somewhat disturbing site of Java-esque code in your Ruby programs). You can get to the actual download from the authors site: http://www.cmt.phys.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~M.Sakurai/cgi-bin/fw/wiki.cgi?page=YAJB(which is linked from the rubyforge site as "Project Home Page"). As to speed it uses a binary protocol by default in the newest version so it should be faster than the XML-RPC protocol that Lyndon mentions (although it''s not blisteringly fast either way).

An alternative to YAJB (beta) might be JRuby (beta) which we''ve been working very hard on. Performance is still sub-par, but you could very easily wrap JMS to provide access to MQ. Another option frequently suggested might be to implement a web service, but you''re adding a lot of overhead there. If you''d be interested in exploring the JRuby angle, feel free to email me or join the JRuby mailing lists at www.jruby.org.
