Abstract Interface in XI

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is the concept of Abstract Interface same as that of Java?

I know that the abstract interface is used in BPM and it doesnt have any direction. Any special use of abstract??

Please suggest.

Hi Sushma,

When you're defining an interface in Java, it's always abstract, though you

don't need to declare them as such.

So there's no difference between

abstract interface I

{

void method();

}

....and...

interface I

{

void method();

}

I think

but abstract interfaces in XI are different for Java abstract.

Thanks,

Technically there is no relation between SAP XI Abstract interfaces and Java Abstract Classes.......

You can use Abstract interfaces in BPM and as well with General Business services, Systems.

However, the SAP standard says we have to use abstract interfaces only within BPM.

Hi,

An abstract message interface has no implementation in an application system. You cannot generate a proxy for this interface type. You use abstract interfaces in business processes, for example, to receive or send messages from application systems. You can use the same abstract interface to receive or to send.

check the below documentation...
