MQ and LotusScript: LS2J+Java classes VS ActiveX library

I have been doing some research on the various ways of connecting to MQ using LS.

MQLSX - no longer supported

LS2J + Java Classes - recommended by IBM

MQAX (ActiveX) library - ??

Altough IBM suggests using LS2J + Java Classes, it seems like it would be much simpler to just use ActiveX…mainly because:

  • no need to update notes.ini with classpath on user PCs

  • can access objects directly without LS2J interfaces

Has anyone used the activeX api before and are there any reasons not to?

As long as you can ensure that you always use MS based OS it should not be a problem.

LS2J works, but you still will need to create your Java wrappers.

Here is some code I wrote using Java to read msgs/write msgs/and even clear all msgs out of a queue:
