Simple web service with DB access.

[Former Member]

hi 2 all, iam very new to this SAP WAS arena, i have installed SAP WAS 6.40 successfully and also developed a hello world webservice, which is running fine, now i want to develop a simple web service that connects to SAPDB, with only one table(jus 2 fields, empno, empname) in a database. I have tried to get help from Car Rental Application but it seems to be complicated for me. Can any one of you help me with some other tutorials, or tell me how to start and connect to db. I would be thankful for u all...

Hello Sainath,

the purpose of NetWeaver is three tier applications. Therefore there are no tools that would allow you to make direct webservice to database calls. The only way would be to program that kind of call manually. But this takes a lot of effort. The usual way would be (and I assume you want to use java):

WebService -> session bean -> entity bean -> database

Regards,

Benny
