hi

SAP net weaver is a platform which work as foundation for integration of components of SAP with each other ,

WAS is one of them (component)

other are like

SAP Enterprise Portal

SAP Business Information Warehouse ( BIW )

SAP Exchange Infrastructure

SAP Knowledge Management ( KM )

SAP Mobile Infrastructure – Not yet fully released

SAP Master Data Management ( MDM )

SAP Composite Application Framework

SAP Life Cycle Management

The fragrance/essence of integration of all of the above in a unified development platform is called SAP NetWeaver. So, the name Integrated Development Environment ( IDE ) inherited for SAP NetWeaver.

SAP NetWeaver provides,

an open integration – Ex: Platform independent,

an extended application platform – Ex: xApps,

permits the integration of the Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA),

an unified business processes across technological boundaries,

integration of applications as needed, and

access and edit simple information easily and in a structured manner.
