Web service adapter

Hi,

I am new to SAP PI. I do self-learning for some topics. I am a practical person.

So i need to know at what situation we go for Web service adapter? I search and found that 2 communication is possible and so on.

Can any one explain with example with 2 connection in WS adapter?

What are all the mandatory pre-requirements required or to be collected before starting the WS scenario?

Thanks,

Jansi S

Reliable communication between service provider and service consumer is the main difference between WS-RM and SOAP. WS-RM allows SOAP messages to be reliably delivered between distributed applications in the presence of software component, system, or network failures.

If you need reliable messaging, then you go for WS-RM.

Hi,

This thread gives you a great comparison of SOAP adapter and WS adapter:

Also, SAP Help gives you a short explanation of the purpose for WS adapter:

Using a communication channel that you have implemented the adapter type WSfor, you can configure communication between Web service consumer and Web service provider (for direct communication), or conmmunication between Integration Server and a connected Web service consumer or Web service provider (for Integration Server communication).

Hi,

WS adapter - only for usage with SAP systems - almost never used in real scenarios for that reason

not supported in java stack only PI

SOAP adapter- this is the one you're looking for - for WS with all systems - search on SDN for SOAP adapter blogs/ articles as this is the one you need
