Calling ABAP BAPIs from a JAVA client - Web Services vs. JCo

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When calling BAPIs from a JAVA client, what are the pros/cons for making the call employing JCo vs web service technologies. I understand that using SOAP would play better into the SOA theme and that there are nice tools to generate a WSDL document from a BAPI. Aside from the obvious, are there any performance considerations and/or other major pros/cons to each

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Have you got any information on this. If you have any information on this pls forward to me at <b>raveendrababu.tanguturi@tcs.com</b> I am also having this confusion. My question is a bit deviating from your point. If we use XI when developing WDJs with WS, will it help in improving performance and maintenance.will it give any advantage if I use XI with BAPIs to connecto backend from WDJ apps. I got this confusion, becasue of a requirement to develop WDJ apps that will be accessed by 50,000 users. Somebody told client that use of XI willimprove performance.

Any help is greatful

Regards

Ravindra
