Webservice to XI. Pls advice urgent

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My scenario:

Partner A(Webservice) -- XI -- Partner B(Webservice)

Partner A do not have Webservice.

So for Partner A I will make O/B Interface and make WSDL

and export that WSDL to Partner A.

Partner B has webservice

So I will take webservice of Partner B make External Defination and map to the O/B Interface of Partner A.

I will use Soap Sender and Soap Receiver Adapter.

Question:

1. Is my above approach corrcet?

2. Does Partner A and Partner B requires webservers

at their side or not?

Hi,

As you told that your Partener B is having Webservice method and Comming to Partner A

Either it shld be a File system, then it will be File---SOAP

BTW what is your Partner A Application???

Hi Henry,

Question:

1. Is my above approach corrcet?

Yes, your approach is correct.

2. Does Partner A and Partner B requires webservers

at their side or not?

Web Services cannot be deployed without Web Servers. Web Server is mandatory. But for consuming Web Services, it is not mandatory.

So Partner B requires a Web Server

Partner A doesn't require web server to consume XI web service if it is a standalone client.

A lot of Web Servers are available like Tomcat, SAP WAS, JBOSS, Sun Web Server, Web Sphere etc.
