On Windows - where is a mqji.properties for me to use?

Question

My application is a stand alone Java app, that customers download, install and run. It uses MQ to communicate with a host, which has been working for years. Neither myself nor customers have anything MQ installed on their Windows machines; we include and use com.ibm.mq.jar to do the work.

Apparently though, MQ needs a mqji.properties file in the classpath to prevent this :

Unable to load message catalog - mqji
com.ibm.mq.MQException: Message catalog not found

So my question is : Where do I get one??

Answer 1

Here is a copy of my mqji.properties file.

Copy and paste into a text editor.
Save as mqji.properties
Put the directory that this file is in into your CLASSPATH.
