Creating a BAPI as a web service using Java

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to create a BAPI as a web service.There is a BAPI which is used to send mails. It takes four Parameters. Three parameters are of type String but the fourth one that is the actual message takes an object of a Structure defined in SAP. I am getting a class of that type after generating the proxy class for the BAPI using SAP Enterprise Connector. In Java when I am trying to set the object of the structure to the input object I am not getting the same object as a parameter but instead i am getting the object as Text, which i am not able to set.

Can anybody tell me if there is any other way?

Regards

How are you doing this?

with your system (6.4) it is possible to get the WSDL with the following url

http://<was_server>:<port>/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?services=<BAPI_NAME_IN_CAPS>&sap-client=021

It looks to me that the tables parameter is set to optional in BAPI deifnition. If yes -> you need to initialize the table parameter in you java code.

Hello Prakash,

what Application Server Version are you using? If you are running 6.20 the BAPI is already as a Webservice. Have a look at the BSP Application "webservicebrowser".

HI Gregor,

I am having Web Application Server 6.40 and R/3 4.7 Enterprise. Is there any way in this version to do the same.

Thanks & Regards

Hello,

yes of course. And even better possibilities I think.

Sorry,

but this is not possible. You cannot run 4.7 on 6.40!

This must be something different.

Hi,

I work for a SI company, and we are working with a customer who has SAP 4.7 installed and then need to integrate a BPM product which has web services. I need to know if SAP 4.7 is web service enabled, if so, where do I get information/tutorial on this?

thanks

Hello,

4.7 runs on WebAS 6.20. And all RFC enabled Function Modules are also avaliable as Webservices. Have a look at:
