Thank you David, Dan, for your replies.
We mainly use user queues for performance reasons and because the system is an os400 C C++ one. I think we're fine with all restrictions and with our java app running on os400 .
Thank you for the link regarding the user and data queues. I also read it a while ago and I concluded that user queues are what I need even for this java application.
I am thinking of writing a jni interface over our lib that deals with user queues .. or just deliver the product using data queues, first, then switch to the user queues once the functionals are proven and the jni layer will also be implemented.
Thank you. Ionut.

I've never used user queues, so I looked them up. There's a good article here that shows reasons and examples for preferring user queues or data queues.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fapis%2FExTaskDataque.htm
One difference I notice is that user queues must be in the user domain. Data queues generally are in the system domain. User queues can be manipulated only by MI instructions; no system API's. JT400 will abstract the MI so you won't notice much, but there will be restrictions. As David noted, you'll only be able to use the user queue will have to be on the same machine as the JVM.

Subject: Using com.ibm.as400.access.UserQueue ...
Hello,
I would like to write a java program that would run on os400 and would extract some messages from a user queue, process them, and dumps them back into another user queue.
I would like to kindly ask you if the jt400 class com.ibm.as400.access.UserQueue would accomplish this task, namely :
1. Create/open new/existing user queue
2. Read the user queue content one by one - if the queue is not empty; if empty, block until it becomes non-empty, again
3. Write messages to the user queue.
Thank you,
Ionut.
