Queuer

[KYLEA]

i am doing some research on .NET technology. Our team is
developing a windows application and the server
application connects to a web service. However, the web
service is not reliable enough so our team leader wants us
to create an application that queues transactions from the
server application. That application then forwards the
transactions to the web service. Does anyone know what
technologies to use for the application? thanks.

If you're wanting to use a queuing technology, then MSMQ is definately the
easiest to get around, in terms of development, but there has been some
doubt on the backward compatibility.

XP / 2003 Server uses MSMQ 3.0
2000 uses MSMQ 2.0
NT 4.0 uses MSMQ 1.0

I've also done a lot of work with IBM MQ Series ( currently Websphere MQ ),
which has just been released with .Net support. It's a bit more tricky to
set up and understand, but once it's going, you can install one version on
all the servers you like and you know it will work.

Hope that helps.
