Future for Java guys

[Former Member]

I seen some of the articles, sap customer are pressuring to release ABAP version of portal instead of java so that, they no need to worry of multiple skilled persons and also they can avoid communication between java and ABAP. If that at is the case what would be the future of java guys who migrated to sap. What do you suggest for Java guys who is going to migrate to sap NetWeaver?

Hi Sreenivasulu,

You don't have anything to worry about. You will not see an ABAP version of the portal. ABAP is great for the business transaction functionality but was not designed to work with the web. That is why a couple of years ago the SAP CEO at Sapphire said that JAVA was going to be an important development tool for developing SAP application.
