Creating Webservice with SAP and consumig it with external Java Application

[Former Member]

Hi!

I am Frank and i am writing my bachelor-report. For this report i have to establish communication between a running SAP system and an external Java application.

I decided to use webservices.

i set up a small webservice to calculate SQRT (as a test) and published it.

now i want to consume it with an external java application and don't know what to do.

perhaps anybody can help me here

regards

hi frank,

this is pretty easy: [google for: java consume webservice|http://www.google.de/search?q=javaconsumewebservice] and follow one of the gazillions of examples, use the codesnippets, etc...

you wonder what Google is? it is a so-called [Search Engine|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine]. a very handy tool, wfor sure worth another bachelor report.

hope it helps, anton

hehe, good one, thanks anton

okay, i ll try to ask more in detail...

i googled a very long time... and the following questions are still not answered:

1)

i created the WS with the wizard from SAP... i can display the WSDL in the browser but it asks for a username and password.... is there any need for it or can the password-thing be turned off?

1b)

how can this turned off? i tried by setting the authentication to "NONE" and reactivated the WS but it didn't help.

2)

how can i consume this WS in my Java-app (i tested WS in Java with importing the WS by "wsimport -keep path/to/wsdlfile?wsdl") and this won't work with the SAP-created WSDL

regards

Frank
