How to publish and consume web services in WAS 620?

[Former Member]

It appears that Web Service Creation Wizard is only available in WAS 640. We only have WAS 620 installed. Do any of you know what are the steps to publish ABAP function modules as web services, as well as to consume web services?

Thanks,

Angela

Have a look at the following weblogs:

Thanks Thomas, Sanjeev and Craig for your replies. I took a quick look at the links and it appears that I should be able to find my answers there. I will definitely give it a try.

Hi Angela,

If you want to expose function modules as web service, you can generate WSDL by running BSP application 'webservicebrowser'. If you want to consume a web service then it is a bit difficult but possible. Look at sample programs (rsvsoap*).

Also look at help document http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/94/f8c8a2e68811d6b2dc00508b5d5211/frameset.htm

Thomas' weblogs are great for learning about this, you should have caught him on the webcast last night. Watch for his session from the SDN Meets to be posted here on SDN.
