Reading iDocs using sapidoc3.jar in Java

[Former Member]

Hello there,

How can I read an SAP iDoc file using sapidoc3.jar in java? Any samples of reading iDocs?

I have a another question,

I wanted to read an SAP iDoc and extract the data and put the data in to DB, What if I use a normal XML parser say DOM to read the iDOC? or Should I use sapidoc3.jar? Which one is the good option?

Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

I had a look at what you have suggested me but my problem is something different.

I don't have to connect with any of SAP systems since I have my sap idocs lying with me at my java side and I just need to parse them and extract the data out and put that data in to my MS SQL Server data base.

Here I have two options,

1) I can use a DOM parser since this is the way we generally deal with XML's.

2) I can use sapidocs.jar to parse idocs since I am new to this API I was looking for some samples. I just need to load idoc, parse the data and put that data into my local DB.

Which option could be better and some sample code for to deal with sapidoc API.

thanks in advance.
