Thank you very much for the info
I really appreciate it! I have also been hunting down some of the architecture papers from IBM to get a better understanding of how WebSphere architecture fits together. I might be looking at some of the extended integration where it is touching other systems too and your advice on what to look at is definitely going to be relevant.
Apologies for not posting my intro first - that has now been remedied.
I'll take a stab at a couple of tests against our dev server and will most certainly check back here.
