Can we use Java code(jar file) in ABAP ECC 6.0?

Former Member — Sun, 20 May 2012 09:05:01 GMT

Hi,

We have a requirement, where the customer requests us to use a java API thats given as a JAR file to us and we need to use the API with our ABAP codes together. We are using ECC 6.0 currently? Is it possi ble to use this API directly? Also do we need any additional software or any prerequisites on the packages to do this? Kindly help me in this.

If possible, is there any documents or suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure you can use SAP JCo (Java Connector) to call Java from ABAP, however I've mostly only ever used it the other way, to call ABAP from Java.

Saying that, I'm unsure what exactly you are trying to do when you say call a Java API from ABAP - are you trying to call a Java application/system from ABAP, or just use some Java library to achieve some logic? If you give a bit more information around what you are doing someone else may be able to achieve a different/better approach you could take.

Hi Annamalai,

wouldn't it be an option to implement a simple Web service that encapsulates the necessary logic using the given Java lib. Then you deploy this Web services on some server, maybe simply the server running the SAP system.

In your ABAP program you then simply call the Web service.

Best,
