This setup is not absolutely necessary to the operation of ABAP WebServices. This simply does the setup to launch the WebService Test tool (which resides on a 640 J2EE engine).

Is your 640 system a ABAP+J2EE system or do you have a standalone J2EE system. Either way you just need to know the HTTP address for the J2EE system.

For an ABAPJ2EE system that is the same URL that you use to access the ABAP side. However you need to specify the port of the J2EE system. The Port is always 5XX00 where XX is the central instance system number. In my case I have an ABAPJ2EE add-in running on System Number 20. The following is the configuration that I put in WSADMIN.

Hi Thomas,

i created every thing with help the document which you gave. now i want to test my webservice. how can i test? i know the t.code WSADMIN where, i think i can test but in that t.code i need to specify the J2EE Engine address but i don't know my J2EE engine address .

so kindly tell me is there any other way to test my webservice without know the J2EE engine address? if yes please.

Thanks in advance,

Kannan.

I'm afraid that the J2EE tool is the only automated test tool that SAP supplies. You could always generate an ABAP WS Client Proxy for that webservice then use the Proxy test tool to call it. However I'm not sure how valid a test that would be.

What we used to do before we had the J2EE test tool is to actually just code up a small program in the programming language that would be consuming the WebService. That is really the best test anyway, because WebService consumption is not exactly the same across all platforms/programming languages. However this is also the approach that requires the most work.
