it depends which way the J2EE web application has to integrate with SAP XI.

1. if the web app has to receive response from XI and render the same to the end user , then you probably must use EJBs which would be the client Java proxies in XI and your web app would be acting as a client to this EJB.

2. if based on the user interaction , the web app has just to trigger a background job then you have n number of options like

1. creating a file which XI will pick up

2. creating a JMS message and sending it to a Queue with which XI is connected using JMS adapter...

and so on...

3. You could also use the option of sending a HTTP or SOAP request directly to integration pipeline and then receive response.

all in all...everything will depend purely on the way your web app wants to communicate / integrate with XI.
