Difference between the abap stack http port and the java http port

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there a difference if a call a webservice in the SAP PI via the abap http port or the java http port?

For abap it is:

http://pi.host.de:8035/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

For java:

http://pi.host.de:53500/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?

Is it technical the same?

Which is your prefered port and why?

Thank you

Best regards,

Hi,

I found the blog

So the main differences are:

Advantage

When you send SOAP messages directly to the Integration Server, you reduce the message load on the adapter engine. This can improve the performance.

Restrictions

The SOAP inbound channel of the Integration Server does not support attachments. SOAP messages with content type "multipart" are rejected.
