Here are few more things for develpers to be noticed.

1) You can do xml schema validation in the pipeline processing. Though it is not mandatory. You have the option to do it.

2) If you UDF for the soap or jdbc connectivity classes, you can replace with graphical jdbc lookup , RFC lookup in the mapping.

3) Since we use java 1.5 + in 7.1, you have to install latest jdbc driver jars that runs on java 1.5. So you might have to reference appropriate database connection classes in the adapter configuration.

4) You can change your interface (if you want) to run only in java stack using integrated configuration object.  scenarios that involved Jdbc, JMS, FIle , SOAP can be run in Advanced Adapter engine. If you use 7.11 EHP then proxy scenarios can be configured to run using soap adapter too.

for your message mapping check this - http://scn.sap.com/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2009/03/04/pixi-pi-71-upgrademigration--message-mapp...

as for java mapping and proxies, the api has been changed. So you might have to adjust some of the methods to accommodate the new API - http://help.sap.com/javadocs

XI 3.0 used JDK 1.4 but PI 7.1 runs on JKD 1.5 , so jar files enhanced(java mapping/adapter modules) and some of the methods deprecated.hence you need to redeploy the java mappings/adapter modules once again using jdk 1.5.

Logic point of view no changes required.
