Subject: [RubyWMQ-Misc] WMQ Topics + Mac
Message-ID: <3A695768-DDB2-4286-8779-E75E0897EA07@gmail.com>

Hi there, 

My company is using Java + WMQ. 

I'm trying to make the case for Rails and wish to ascertain if it can work with WebSphere MQ. 

Some questions: 

1. Does RubyWMQ support publishing to and subscribing (durable) from WMQ topics? 

2. Has RubyWMQ gem been used on a Mac? Does it require WMQ to be installed on the Mac? Understand that the author has been using a Mac. 

Thanks,
Victor, Singapore

It's a long time since I've used it... but it's just a wrapper around the C
API.

I used it with Rails under Linux, haven't tried it with a Mac. It's
reasonably portable C but it may or may not work.

If it doesn't work, remember that Rails under JRuby is another option.
