Hi Mithlesh,

Well I think Guru and Pooja has explained very well what all are advantages of Java and use of Java for SAP.

Apart from this I would like you to have a look to the following links.

<b>1) >

In this tread I have explained the use of Java and compared it with ABAP. I guess this could help you. Also read the link given by <i>Antonio</i>, that is also a good one.

<b>2) https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/was.sdn?page=GetStart_webas.htm</b>

In this read the section "<i>Java Development Infrastructure</i>", this shows the advantage of using the Java Infrastructure.

<b>3) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/97583c2439e66fe10000000a114084/content.htm</b> This also helps you understand the underlying architecture of WAS having both Java Engine and ABAP engine.

I wish this also helps you.

Hi Mithlesh,

What differentiates SAP from its competitors is the parallel support of both Java and Microsoft .NET technologies. SAP NetWeaver works with Java (particularly IBM WebSphere) and Microsoft .NET. In this way, applications developed by customers using Microsoft .NET or IBM WebSphere can be fully integrated with SAP applications that will only be delivered on the SAP NetWeaver platform.

For more info refer the link below:

One of the advantages of Java is that you can access non-SAP back-end systems. And of course Java is a wide-spread programming language with millions of experienced developers.

Hi Mithesh,

Java use in SAP that too particularly in Netweaver is for Platform indepedent,Application scalabilty,Robustness,OOAD design approach and many more.

Netweaver has a Web Application Server both for J2EE & ABAP.So what ever it is possible in normal JSP,Servlet and Java outside Netweaver is now possible with Netweaver also.The IDE here is called Netweaver Developer Studio.The latest version is 2.0.12.

Not but not the least using webdynpro with in the studio you can connect to R/3 backend(BAPI/RFC) with help of JCA(Java Connector Architecture) and can do transactional handlings and present data in Webdynpro front end in the personalized way(Integrated with EP) the user wanted.

Hope these informations will give you a better idea to start with.

Regards,

Guru
