Subject: Re: Binding to Java based Websphere MQ libraries

Thanks for the response Rob,

Using the C library requires the MQ client be installed on the target  
machine, whereas the Java jars can just be dropped in with the  
script. We also have an enterprise worthy app (and all that  
implies...) and I was interested in using portions of that too.

I'd had a look at JRuby (perhaps should have mentioned this) but was  
looking for other ideas.

After having a bit more of a look (yes, Google is indeed my friend)  
I've decided to work with the Java code we've already developed. No  
Ruby (yet...)

I work for a very large IT company developing enterprise strength  
apps. You've no idea how refreshing Ruby is to use compared to my  
normal work and I guess I'm busy trying to use it in as many places  
as I can - the more practice I can get, the more I learn. Wrote a  
nice data migration script today.

On another note, it seems my email shows up under my wife's name. I'm  
Dave, she's Sharon. It's her computer, I just use it :)

Cheers,
Dave
