Web Services for External Applications

[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,

U can expose a EJB or a java class as a webservice in webdynpro and u can use it in webdynpro directly and if u want to use it through Portal u need to create proxies and do it.

U can go through this weblog which helps u in creating a Bean as a webservice.

And u can expose the services created in XI also as webservices.
