IBM WebSphere MQ bridge for HTTP on Tomcat 9.0.2

Requirements:

    1. IBM MQ server 

    2. WMQHTTP.war, location MQ_HOME\java\lib\http\

    3. IBM MQ client libraries 

    4. tomcat 

Tomcat and IBM MQ configuration:

Tomcat:

1. Copy WMQHTTP.war to apache-tomcat-9.0.2\webapps folder
2. Copy IBM MQ libraries from C:\Program Files\IBM\MQ\java\lib\*.jar to tomcat lib directory apache-tomcat-9.0.2\lib

3. Add to the context.xml file between Context tag resource below:

<Resource

name="jms/WMQHTTPJCAConnectionFactory"

auth="Container"

type="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory"

factory="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactoryFactory"

HOST="127.0.0.1"

PORT="1415"

CHAN="HTTPTESTCHL"

TRAN="1"

QMGR="TEST3"/>

IBM MQ 9:

1. create channel HTTPTESTCHL:

    define chl(HTTPTESTCHL) type(SVRCONN) 

2. Create new channel authentication record:

SET CHLAUTH('HTTPTESTCHL') TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('test') USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('test') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(ADD)  

3. Grant user or group permission to access qmgr and local queue HTTPTESTQ:
 Queue:

setmqaut -m TEST3 -n "HTTPTESTQ" -t q -g "test" -remove

setmqaut -m TEST3 -n "HTTPTESTQ" -t q -g "test" +get +inq +put

 QMGR:

setmqaut -m TEST3 -t qmgr -g "test" -all

setmqaut -m TEST3 -t qmgr -g "test" +connect +inq

refresh security(*) 

Start Tomcat using startup.bat and after if possible to open message:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/WMQHTTP/msg/queue/HTTPTESTQ 

FYI:

From IBM MQ Version 8.0, the IBM MQ bridge for HTTP is deprecated. The IBM messaging REST API provided from IBM MQ Version 9.0.4 should be used as an alternative.
