Creating External Services

[Former Member]

Suppose I am building an Application using WebDynpro on the Java stack of WAS 6.4.

If I am required to provide an integration point for some external application to get some information from my application. What could one uses or creates to satisfy this requirement? I suspect XI or Web Services.

For Web Service, I probably need to create an EJB and make it WebService to provide the service call. For XI, I can make use of the EJB to complete the Proxy code.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

if i understood you correctly this is the scenario your describing:

you are developing application that its UI side is WebDynpro and you need to enable other applications access to some of the information and logic this application provides. if that the case then what you should do is:

1. develop your business logic with EJB's

2. develop your UI logic with WebDynpro

3. expose some of the business logic (those you need) as WebServices.

it is important that the WebDynpro side would not contain business logic in order to enable the above requirement.
