Hello experts,

Does anyone knows if its possible to expose a web dynpro component/project as a web service ? Hints or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Kwok,

WebDynpro is UI technology that assumes user-application interactions, hence it cannot be exposed as WebService for application-application interactions.

Use other type of NW projects, namely WebService project. Or place your functionality into Session EJB and expose it as WebService.

Hi VS,

You are absolutley correct. However the reason why I am asking this is because I need to extract an offline Adobe Form (submitted via Email) and WD seems to provide all the necessary libraries and interfaces for me to get the job done easily.

Hi Kwok,

I dont think its possible to expose webdynpro as web services. With Web Dynpro you can create interactive Web-based user interfaces for business applications.
