ABAP webservices XIF adapter?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are going to invoke SAP CRM objects web services via SOAP. Do we need a J2EE engine? Can't we do it with ABAP enginer? without it, is it difficult to figure out the details of WSDLs to use? If so how..

Thanks,

Vijay

HI

As CRM Server works on the Pricncple of WAS technology java+ ABAP it can understand that only a J2ee server is must to undertand this WAS technology and get convert ABAP to JAva lang so J2ee is used , but SOAP is for connection with other Softwares eventhough SOAP is used you use J2e is neccessary, where as Xif is only a External Interface Adapter

to allow the data into CRM and out from CRM by activation , a simple program ALE and SOap get Coverted into Xif format

to convert the data for convience of CRM Server
