Calling a web service in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hello Experts!

After I am assuming the SOAP Experts at the SOAP Forum

are being already on christmas vacation

I saw no other possiblitiy to post my question right here.

I have created a web service through:

Open the affected function Module .

Choose Utilities -> More Utilities -> Creating a Web Service -> From Function Module.

Later you can test it with SOAMANAGER etc.

The goal is now (requirement)

Calling a web service in ABAP.

How can I generally call a (eg .above created by me ) webservice with abap which is existing on the sap system (Web Services which are generated from Function Modules)

Has really nobody such a problem ever before ?

To be able to consume a web service in ABAP you need to generate a Proxy Class.

- SE80

- Enterprise Services

- create Proxy Object

The easiest way to do it is with the WSDL file that you'll get from the existing Web Service. In your proxy class it will generate a method which you can then call within your program to consume that web service.

Hope that helps,

Michael thank you very much.

You are saying:

I understand the first part with the WSDL file but the second part it is unclear to me with

In your proxy class it will generate a method which you can then call within your program to consume that web service

Can you please explain me this more detailed.
