Enterprise Resource Management Technology is evolving at a rapid pace with professional business applications increasingly demanding a highly scalable, reliable infrastructure that can support open Internet standards, off the shelf. A Web Application Server serves all these purposes and delivers proven scalability and performance. It also supports Web technologies and open standards, such as HTTP, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and Java (J2EE).

SAP Web Application Server (SAP WAS) is a platform for efficient development and allows you to implement Web applications. SAP Web Application Server is a crucial component of mySAP® Technology platform. It also paves the way for implementing "Web services". WAS supports all releases of mySAP.com components (including ABAP language), any Java 2 Enterprise Edition and .NET platform. This article concentrates on using SAP WAS with Java components.
