Connecting to desktop Java application from R/3

[Former Member]

I want to connect to a java application program in my desktop and return a parameter to R/3. I have installed Java connector and I want to call the java application from R/3 using Java connector.

I was able to get few samples to setup the RFC destination for a remote server program, but I was not able to find anything for an application in the client system. How to setup the RFC destination for a Java connector to call the application in the desktop? Can anyone please answer this question.

Hi Allam,

1. Why do you need to connect from backend system to your desktop client? Did I understood it correctly that it's exacly what you want to do?

2. I guess examples you saw are for JCO or JCA which is a part of SAP J2EE server. Simply speaking the server is waiting for a client request and your desktop application probably not. If you still are sure that server->desktop connection is what you need then you have to emulate the server on your self and then depending on what you need JCO/JCA you have to create a kind of container that will implement listening service.

I'd like to hear your answer for question one to give you more detailed answer.
