xml services from SAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

what is the best way to call a Web service xml (I don't know if this is created with netweaver web services) from a SAP R/3?

thanks in advance,

Well, if you are in 6.40 (ECC 5.0) it's very easy: you can natively create an abap class from SE80 that wraps the web services (one method for each message).

If you are <= 6.20, I think an XI in the middle could do the trick, by mapping RFC to webService (and the other way around in a synch scenario):

Request: R/3->(RFC)->XI->(SOAP)->YourWSProvider

Response: YourWSProvider->(SOAP)->XI->(RFC)->R/3

If none of the above is your case, try coding somehting home-made, like a JCO server that handles the RFC call from R/3, manages the webservice call and maps the ws reponse data back to R/3.

Hope that helps you.
