a) Proprietary communication between Broker client components (hosted in IS) and Broker.
b) Same as a. IS is a Broker client using the Broker Java API.
c) Likely to be the same as a, though I do not know for sure. The underlying communication protocol of JMS providers is, I believe, proprietary for each JMS provider implementation.
d) IS hosts adapters. Thus, IS doesn’t really communicate with adapters. Adapters are a part of IS.
I dunno about SOAP bound over JMS in IS 7.x. but SoftwareAG co-authored the SOAP-JMS binding spec submitted to the W3C. [URL]404
Does someone know if the wM docs mention support of this?
