We can generate proxies out of the message interface (inbound/outbound) defined in Integration repository.

Proxy generation converts non-language specific interface descriptions in WSDL into executable interfaces know as proxies. Proxies are executable interfaces in the application system.

There are two kinds of proxies:

1) Java proxies - generated in IR from WSDL description of interface – results in .jar file containing generated java classes.

2) ABAP proxies - generated in application server with SPROXY transaction based on WSDL representation of message interface.

Note: For WAS release lower than 6.20 adapters are the only means to establish

connection. From WAS 6.20, proxy generation feature enables application systems to communicate with XI using proxies. Proxies enable adapter-less

communication (native connectivity).

Hi,

There are two types of Proxies.

Java Proxies and ABAP Proxies.

Java proxies are used when java applications needs to send and receive data and ABAP proxies are used when ABAP applications needs to send and receive data.

For ABAP Proxy:

Now you have know that XI has central integration engine to process messages. Application system can have local integration engine (WAS >=6.20).

The ABAP proxy are generated from application system, based on the message interface you created Integration Builder, more particularly, integration repository.

If the proxy is generated based on outbound interface (going out of application system), it is called client proxy, vice verse, it is server proxy.

Customized ABAP program is needed to call Proxy objects, or to be called by proxy. Local Integration engine communicate with central Integration engine with native XI protocol, so no explicit adpater needed.

For Java Proxy, the concept is similar, but it is generated in Integration builder, JPR adapter needed

Jena,

The main difference between ABAP and Java Proxy in simple terms is

Java Proxy - Used to communicate with Java applications

ABAP Proxy - Used to communicate with R/3 systems.

Basically we need to keep two things in mind about Proxies - They are Client Proxy and Server proxy.

Client Proxy - When Java or R/3 is calling XI.

R/3 or Java -

---

> XI----

---

> Any Application

Server Proxy - When XI is calling Java or R/3

Any Application--

---

> XI--

---

> R/3 or Java

Hope it helps a bit!.
