This topic is the entry-point into a set of topics about enabling WebSphere applications to use JMS resources provided by a generic messaging provider (other than a WebSphere default messaging provider or WebSphere MQ).
You can install a messaging provider other than the default messaging provider or WebSphere MQ. WebSphere applications can use the JMS 1.1 interfaces or JMS 1.0.2 interfaces to access JMS resources provided by the generic messaging provider, in addition to JMS resources provided by the default messaging provider or WebSphere MQ (if installed).
You can use the WebSphere administrative console to administer the JMS connection factories and destinations provided by generic messaging providers.
In a mixed-version WebSphere Application Server deployment manager cell, you can administer generic messaging resources on both V6 and V5 nodes. For V5 nodes, the administrative console presents the subset of resources and properties that are applicable to WebSphere Application Server V5.
