proxies,HTTP Adapter

[Former Member]

What is the difference between a HTTP Adapter and a proxies?

[Former Member]

HI,

Proxies are Adapter less communication . So if the sender/receiver system in a position to understand/communicate the data through XML then no need to use any adapter in XI.to communicate we have provision that is Proxies, We have two types of proxies

JAVA proxies

ABAP Proxies

Each of these having two types client proxies and server proxies.

Here we will use XI adapter which is native adapter of XI.

see the below links to get more idea

Java And ABAP Proxy

Just go thru following thread-Java Mapping

Prxoies : are adapterless communication where both intergation engine interact directly with out any adapters.

Diff: ABAP Proxies(Except java) can be created SAP Systems but not in non-SAP.

Tocreate Proxies ur WAS should be >= 6.20 at least other u cant create proxies.

HTTP: directly communicating from webbrowser to Intergation engine.

[Shabarish_Nair]

HTTP Adapter is used for plain HTTP communication. Say from a webpage to XI.

Proxy -

A proxy is an adapter less communication (even though we use the XI adapter when we configure proxies). Proxies have an advantage over other connections - /people/ravikumar.allampallam/blog/2005/08/14/choose-the-right-adapter-to-integrate-with-sap-systems (comparison or rfc, idoc n proxy connection)
