Hello,
I have a question regarding the costs of SOA. Given that we already have an SAP SOA environment ready we could start now building web services to offer us the funcitionality we need.
The next step is thinking about the front-end. If you built the front-end within SAP SOA how is licensing managed? I guess you will need an SAP license for everybody that works with the SOA application? Or is it also ok to use some kind of system user mapping?
What would also be great would be some kind of mobile application enablement and the ability to also work offline with an application.
I know that netweaver has a part for mobile development, but as I see it you cannot use it with your web-services composed processes.
A possibility for offline support of sorts would be to use adobe forms.
Are there better / easier / more flexible ways to build front-ends than using web dynpro that would fullfill the needs we have?
Maybe you can give me some hints from your own experiences.
