Country Selection

[Former Member]

I have a Web Dynpro app where the user needs to enter a country. I would like to present the user with a list of countries. I would like to retrieve this list from the ERP system rather than maintain this list in the application itself. I cannot find a web service that gives me a list of countries. What would be the best approach to achieve this?

Hi,

If you are looking for a webservice for country info you can get one at http://ws.geonames.org/countryInfo?

Thank you Ayyapparaj, that's a very interesting site.

However, what I'm trying to get to with my question is: how do I validate input against data kept in SAP.

For customers for example, there's a web service to query them. It seems to me however that for a lot of master data no web services are available and I would have to roll my own service. I'm trying to find out if this observation is true or if I'm not looking in the right place.
