Webservices and Performance

[Former Member]

Hi,

SAP Netweaver offers the possibility to create Web Services with ABAP or Java, but do you have an experience which technology has the better performance.

I'm at the moment in the situation I have to create a webservice, which calls a BAPI. I assume that a Webservice developed in ABAP should be faster, but is it really the case? A Java webservice needs proxy classes to be able to communicate with the BAPI but is there also something similar generated when I'm generating an ABAP webservice?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I don't think so.

It is all handled on the ABAP stack whereas with JAVA, you need one additional layer.

Try going through this class: CL_SOAP_HTTP_EXTENSION and its method handle_request.

Best regards,
