9. 9
Harnessing the Resource Adapter: WAS
Using WebSphere MQ with WebSphere Application Server and the Liberty Profile
Deployed inside WebSphere Application Server
WAS is shipped with a validated RA
RA can be a different version to the Queue Manager

10. 10
Harnessing the Resource Adapter: Liberty
Supported from Liberty version 8.5.5
Download from IBM Fix Central – search 'Resource Adapter'
Using WebSphere MQ with WebSphere Application Server and the Liberty Profile

Managing the Resource Adapter
Using WebSphere MQ with WebSphere Application Server and the Liberty Profile
Client mode – no configuration necessary
Bindings mode:
WAS: set 'native library path' on Resource Adapter
Liberty: <wmqJmsClient nativeLibraryPath="/opt/mqm/java/lib64"/>
Updates to RA:
WAS: WAS Fix Packs and iFixes
Liberty: updated download from Fix Central
