New protocol "WebSocket"

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I need to use a new protocol "WebSocket" and I would like to know the following:

1.What are the relevant steps for enabling this protocol with SAP ERP ?

2.How to use this protocol within the ERP with ABAP (Or RFC )?

Thank you,

Hi,

If you speak about this : [Web_Sockets on Wikipedia |http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Sockets#WebSocket_Protocol_Upgrade_Handshake]

Then I think that this new protocol is not implemented neither on the ABAP or Java stack.

Hello Olivier ,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes...This is the WebSockets as described in Wikipedia.

I know that there is no support for this new protocol but my question is:

How can we implement the option to use this protocol in the AS with JAVA API or else?

I know that there are lots of tools or APIs for extending the ERP. (Even Repair is possible)

I believe that there is a way but we must learn very deeply the all landscape.

Thank you,

Hello Boaz,

>How can we implement the option to use this protocol in the AS with JAVA API or else?

It should be possible to implement this protocol on the J2EE stack but this would mean a lot of system low level java developement. I don't see the point of doing this with a vendor software like SAP software.

What do you mean don't see the point?

With everything that has been released / and communicated in the last 9 months there is even more point for SAP to support WebSockets.

Anyone know if this is in 7.02/7.3?

Hi Nigel,

I don't see the point of implementing this as specific programming.

If it should be done this is the job of SAP not the job of SAP customers.
