Integrating an Oracle Service Bus Cluster With an IBM WebSphere MQ Cluster in a Service-Oriented Architecture

Service-oriented architecture has become a widely accepted industry paradigm driven in large part by the increased demand for the asynchronous exchange of business data. However, messaging middleware can vary across organizations, which means that Oracle must provide a way to integrate its product families with each of these middleware solutions. In particular, customers should be able to use the integrated Oracle Service Bus/IBM WebSphere MQ system to provide support for messaging interoperability, load balancing, high availability, high performance, failover, and exactly once quality-of-messaging service (with regard to request messages).
