Gateway service without using BAPI ?

[Former Member]

Hi experts ,

Can we create Gateway service with out using BAPI as a data source.

For example , i have to create a service which displays customer details by taking customer as a input . If i implement DPC_EXT class how can i write where statement in select query. Let me know if anybody have any idea reagarding this .

Thank you

Venkatesh.

Hi,

You don't need BAPI for this. You can get the customer from the URL used in the service. Now you can redefine getentity set method for the service and there you can pass this customer to local variable. This local variable for customer you can use in WHERE for SELECT.

Hello Venkatesh,

You can also create service without using BAPI as a data source. You can write your custom code inside DPC_EXT class.

For GET operations based on your requirement you can implement methods GetEntity / Get EntitySet / Expand Entity / Expand EntitySet accordingly inside DPC_EXT class.

Hi Venkatesh,

You can also use RFC enabled function calls as data sources - which you can of course tailor to your requirements even if that just means wrapping a BAPI to simplify the overall API.
