IBM has done a proof-of-concept that allows IBM WebSphere MQ 6.0 to be used within the Windows Communication Foundation framework.  Messages are carried using SOAP over JMS.

The ‘’MQ JMS'’ channel can be be integrated and used within the WCF framework just the same as the built-in transports offered by Microsoft, as described on AlphaWorks by Charlie Martin, an IBM WebSphere MQ development team member.

Service applications can be configured to use the new custom channel in the normal way, with client application being generated using standard tools such as the Microsoft Service Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe). Service metadata descriptions can either be published directly from a running service (provided it is exposed via an additional HTTP endpoint) or using WSDL (Web Service Description Language).
