JCO vs ARFC vs Web Service vs EC

74 Views

Hi all,

In our project we will be calling BAPI's in a R/3 backend system. I've allready done this through importing the BAPI's as a model in NWDS (aRFC) because it's the used method in the Web Dynpro tutorials.

Now i'm wondering. What's SAP's recommended method to communicate with a R/3 backend system? Everybody is talking about webservices these days... and webservices are also an option for calling BAPI's in R/3. But what is SAP's opinion about this? Do they recommend it? (webservices are the future)

What is recommended, what is better, what gives the most options (security, transaction management, ...) when i can choose from all methods for calling BAPI's in R/3? ( JCO, aRFC, EC, webservices)

Kinds regards,

J.
