Using JAVA API

Hi All,

I need your expert suggestion. I am sorry if this is not the right place to post but I was not sure so I am posting it here.

I dont have knowledge in JAVA. I am working on SAP PI. In order to write a UDF, can I use any existing JAVA APIs ?

If so, how? Please let me know..

No. Usually a UDF is a small piece of Java code.

So you have to learn Java basics for working with UDF.

Hi Yashwanth,

Hope this helps.

You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them separated by a comma or semi-colon:

You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them. You should be able to access standard JDK and J2EE packages of the SAP Web Application Server by simply specifying the package under Import. In other words, you do not have to import it as an archive into the Integration Repository. You can also access classes of the SAP XML Toolkit, the SAP Java Connector, and the SAP Logging Service (see also: Runtime Environment (Java-Mappings)).

In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the message mapping.
