Hi Raja,

yes, you have to write java code.

Please refer to:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e9/61e1407e858031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

To start use the sample_ra.sda. This archive contains all the api documentation and the java source code of a sample adapter.

Consider that custom adapters are based on JCA 1.0 architecture, you can find the library here:

Hi,

If you want to communicate with .net and XI , with the help of Webservice, you can easily do this..

Also if you want to develop adapters for specific requirements , this may be useful-

Hi,

Krishna, as you mentioned <i> If you want to communicate with .net and XI , with the help of Webservice, you can easily do this..</i>.

--> If we communicate thro Webservice, dont we need to use any adpaters? Could you please explain me bit more in detail.

Also i have another question..basically adapter means there is some code which enbable to communicate 2 systems..is my understanding correct?

Hi Raja,

>>> If we communicate thro Webservice, dont we need to use any adapters?

You would still need to use SOAP adapter.

basically adapter means there is some code which enbable to communicate 2 systems..is my understanding correct?

On a very broad scale, an adapter serves as an interface between XI and different systems. XI communicates with other systems, using these adapters.
