RE: Triggers? -- JAVA400-L

Thanks all for the input...  Do any of you have a sample program that
listens to queue?  I have never written a listener before.  Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi
we have been doing this kind of stuff also, we need to
create Purchase Order PDF files and email them to
verndors, so RPG program write this info in a message
queue, a java program is listening to this queue,(we
have a seperate subsystem for running this java
program)
as soon as it get message, this listening program
creates a thread which creates PDF file, emails it and
then is killed.
