WebSphere Message Broker

WebSphere Message Broker is built to extend WebSphere MQ, and it is capable of understanding the content of each message that it moves through the Broker. Customers can define the set of operations on each message depending on its content. The message processing nodes supplied with WebSphere Message Broker are capable of processing messages from various sources, such as Java Message Service (JMS) providers, HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) calls, or data read from files. By connecting these nodes with each other, customers can define linked operations on a message as it flows from one application to its destination.

  • WebSphere® Message Broker delivers an advanced Enterprise Service Bus providing connectivity and universal data transformation for both standard and non-standards-based applications and services to power your service-oriented architecture.
  • WebSphere Message Broker transforms and enriches in-flight information to provide a level of intermediation between applications that use different message structures and formats.
  • WebSphere Message Broker enriches and distributes real-time information from disparate sources of information through a network of access points, and provides a powerful new means to unify organizations.
  • WebSphere Message Broker integrates with multiple sources of data such as databases, applications, and files to perform any type of data manipulation, including logging, updating, and merging.
  • WebSphere Message Broker simplifies the integration of existing applications with Web services by transforming and routing SOAP messages, as well as logging of Web services transactions.
  • WebSphere Message Broker includes the functionality of WebSphere Event Broker. WebSphere Event Broker is available as a separately orderable product for customers requiring publish and subscribe capabilities and other distribution capabilities using multiple protocols without the powerful and adaptable transformation features provided by WebSphere Message Broker.
  • With its ability to perform operations depending on message content, WebSphere Message Broker is a natural extension to WebSphere MQ, but Message Broker can also process messages from other sources, such as JMS providers, HTTP calls, or reading data from files
