Hi,

Webservice is exchanging an information ....SOAP adaptor

Webserver is a system to store the information.

Hi Pasi,

Every Web Services run on Web Server. Web SErvices cannot run independently.

Web Server is a container which supports deployment and runtime of your Web Application which supports HTTP protocol( like HTML,JSP ,ASP etc)

Web Services is based on Services Oriented Architecture which is loosely coupled.

Once deployed on any web Server, these can be called through any language(Java, .net etc ) and through any platform. It uses HTTP protocol to communicate and SOAP protocol to send messages in a particular format.

For a Web Server, HTTP protocol can be used.

For Web Services, SOAP or HTTP protocol can be used,

SOAP automatically converts your simple message in a form that Web Services can understand and sends it through HTTP.

If you want to use HTTP, you should first know the SOAP strusture and also knowledge of XML.

So, its always better to go with SOAP protocol which hides this complexity.

Hope this helps.

Hi Pasi,

For Web Server, it is HTTP

For Web Service, it SOAP.

Both HTTP and SOAP provides communication chnnel security by using HTTPS.

SOAP provides Message level Encryption also.

For a Web Service, it is always better to go with SOAP adapter( no second thought about this )

Hi,

If its B2B scenario then ususally third party seeburger adapters are used where the data is coming in the form of EDi files and data is flowing over wan network or mailbox.

in ur case if u need to interact with webservice then u need to go for SOAP adapter.

For SOAP scenario:

1) U require a WSDL from the webserve.

2) U need to import that WSDl file as an external definition in IR.

3) Check the WSDL which is given by XML-SPY software.

4) Do the configuration in SOAP Adapter.

For sending IDOC u dont required an Sender agreeemtne and IDOC adapter, u need to do the configruation at R3 end as well as at XI end. but u need to receiver the IDOC then u have to use the IDOC adater.again configuration is required.
