What I have done in a case like this is to make the external application an RMI
server. When a request comes in to the servlet the servlet makes an RMI call to
the external application. The external app. handles the request and returns
data to the servlet. The servlet then sends whatever reply is appropriate back
to the network client.

I don't know what Tomcat's message queue is, so I can offer no advice on how it
might affect your requirements.
