RE: Differences between calling Java from Qshell and RPG?

Do you have a specific reason for using Java from within RPG (remote queue

quite simple and beats Java do dead as far as performance is concerned.

Fair comment Paul.

I've done a fair bit of coding MQ APIs in RPG and, on my current project,
I'm receiving MQ messages via RPG APIs. I agree that, for performance, RPG
API calls beat Java although I thought the Java MQ calls from Qshell were
pretty quick.  

There are two reasons that I'm using Java over RPG to send MQ messages:

1. There's a requirement to attach several .pdf docs to the message. I don't
believe this can be done via the RPG APIs.
2. Another development team here already had a set of message and attachment
classes so I was able to put a wrapper around them.
