Web service development

[Former Member]

Hi, all.

Are there any libraries or utilities for fast creation of web service based on bapi in java?

.NET Visual Studio generates a web service based on bapi in 3-4 mouse clicks. So I don't need to write any code during creation. Could anybody suggest a library or technology that creates such webservice in java with the same simplicity as Visual Studio does?

Regards, Sergey.

Hi Sergey,

I know that .Net uses SAP R/3 connector so we can do it in 3-4 clicks.

Web Service in NWDS is Java based so we need more efforts than .Net to create the web service

You can follow the following steps:

1. Create web service as usual in J2EE using session bean(EJB)

2. The session class will call BAPI using <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/561106b8b3bc449f890cddfdc8d3e2/frameset.htm">Jco code</a>

or if your R/3 is WAS 640 and above,

Hello,

Why to you want to put efforts on creating java webservices when there is direct facility to expose a BAPI as WebService?
