How to test an Abap webservice

[Former Member]

Hi there, how you doing?

Actually I have a request to do a webservice in Abap to display the materialu2019s availability in a web site, As far as I know the process starts with the creation of a function module RFC, and then the conversion to a web service. I have done all of that, however I don't know how to run it using the browser to test it as I learned using netweaver developer studio. Also I need to provide the url that will be use for the web site developer in order to consume the webservice.

This installation of SAP ECC 6.0 has only the stack of Abap SAP_ABA release 700 sp 0015, I would like to know if the java stack is needed to run webservice using the browser.

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter

Hi Alexis,

To test your web service, you should invoke the WEB service using some tool, for example i have used .NET, in transaction WSADMIN you can obtain the connection string, looking for you web service and then click on the WSDL button, then a Browser with your string connection is showed, this string is that you should invoke from a .Net program.

You don´t need the Java Stack to use the ABAP Web service, you only have to call it from another program.
