SUMMARY

Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) provides ActiveX components that can be used to create Web-based applications using server- and client-side scripting and with Java. This article describes three of them.

MORE INFORMATION

IIS/ASP Solution

You can use MSMQ ActiveX components on an Active Server Pages (ASP) script using VBScript. MSMQ does not need to be installed on the machines running the browser. This is a good solution for many types of applications. Take a look at the Internet Information Server/Active Server Pages documentation on using ActiveX objects.

Internet Explorer Client-Side Scripting

You can use MSMQ ActiveX components on any HTML page using the <OBJECT> tag in VBScript. MSMQ needs to be installed on the machines running the browser. Take a look at Internet Explorer/VBScript documentation on using ActiveX objects.

Java Applet Using MSMQ ActiveX Components

You can use MSMQ ActiveX components in any Java applet and access it using a browser. MSMQ needs to be installed on the machines running the browser. You will also need to create and sign a CAB file to properly download and run the applet and their supporting classes on the client machines. Take a look at Visual J++ documentation on using ActiveX objects.
