Implementing XML-RPC protocol with ECC 5.0/XI 3.0/Seeburger

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have an interesting scenario where we have to integrate a product which works with XML-RPC protocol (SOAP is not supported). We are on ECC 5.0 / XI 3.0.

Mainly the scenario is:

Orders are created on this third party product. These orders have to be imported into SAP and the status of the order needs to be communicated back to the third party.

Since it uses XML-RPC protocol over HTTP, we need to build some web services.

What is the best way to integrate with this product? We also have Seeburger(Dont know if this comes into any use at all).

Thanks

Hi,

Seeburger in this scenario will not be of much help...

Coming to your scenario normal webservice scenario will suffice your requirement...

Check the FAQ of SOAP Adapter regarding the same..

Does the RPC or Document style in WSDL play a role in the SOAP adapter?

A: No. These styles are used in WSDL to describe how the message is represented as a SOAP message. And this corresponds to how the XI payload is represented. You must make sure that your XI proxy is generating the valid payload according to the given WSDL in whatever the style. If this is not the case (e.g., your proxy is generated by another WSDL and there is a mismatch in how the payload must look), you need to configure some mapping to match the payload.
