You shouldn't need MQ to communicate with CICS commarea progams
from Java

take a look at External Call Interface(ECI) usage>>

we have used ECI using CTG to communicate to commarea programs. We need to prove even by using MQ methods we can invoke the commarea programs.
Mq CICS DPL bridge which will link to commarea programs. Need to understand how to configure on the mainframe for this interface.
Thanks

have you looked at any outside vendor products? most of them
are easier to use and run MUCH faster.
