Proxy

[Former Member]

Can any one clarify the difference between the Client proxy and abap proxy?

Hi Neha,

Also..

A client proxy is one which sends data into XI i.e.the proxy makes a request to the integration server and gets back a response / or not [based on sync/async] attributes.

A server proxy is one which recieves a request from XI pipeline and does further processing , may or may not send back a response [again based on sync or async nature of the interface

Hi Neha,

CLIENT PROXY:

A WSDL description from a UDDI server (or an Internet page) is usually used to make a service executable in the Internet and to describe the interface of this service. You require a client proxy and not a server proxy to call this service by using the Web service infrastructure.

SERVER PROXY:

You can only generate ABAP server proxies from a WSDL description if they originate in the Integration Repository.You can also generate server proxies for Java and client proxies for ABAP from message interfaces.

To Know more about Client and Server Proxy Please go through these links:

Hi,

If u generate proxy for outbound interface then its client proxy and for inbound interface its server proxy.

In client proxy u can call the method to send messages but u can't modify it but in server proxy its possible to write a user code within the method to execute proxy.
