Integration

Hi All-

As part of our integration project, following are our requirements:
1. We have to integrate IBM Maximo Application to a 3rd Party application using OSB 11g and SOA 11g as the Middleware
2. Source Application IBM Maximo will enqueue a Business Message to a JMS Queue which resides within the IBM Maximo Application
3. Middleware should dequeue the message, validate, transform and finally insert the data into staging tables of the 3rd Party Application

Clarifications/Inputs Required
==================
1. Can OSB connect to the JMS Queue which resides within the IBM Maximo Application? If yes can you please provide any documents/link which outlines the steps.
2. What information do we need to configure OSB to connect to the JMS Queue?
3. Is it a good design practice to use OSB to connect to the JMS queue given the fact that SOA 11g's Mediator component also has a JMS adapter which can connect to the JMS queue.

Kindly provide your inputs.

Thanks in advance for your time and help

Best Regards,
Dibya
