Generate XML file from RFC using Web Services

Former Member — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:29:18 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to save an RFC enabled Function Module output to an XML file using ABAP web services.

I could able to create Web Service and release it using WSCONFIG/WSADMIN. I can actually get the output in XML file when i launch the web service home page. But I need this to be done in the ABAP program itself. So If i run the RFC I could able to create,release web service and capture the Generated XML file by SOAP runtime.

Any FM available?

Thanks,

Ram Sanjeev

can you explain a little more.

do you want a RFC to create webservice, release it and then run and capture the result xml?

why would you want to do this?

when you say generated XML - are you talking about the WSDL file or the result of the webservice?

Raja

Yes you are correct. I want to make use of web services to get the result of webservice in xml file. Though i can do this with simple Transformation i have the requirement to go with Web Services.

So instead of going to a browser and running the web service url i would like to capture using ABAP code? is it possible , any ideas?

Thank You,

Ram

which version of WAS you are on .

if you are on WAS6.40 check the following weblog on how to consume webservice using the wsdl file.

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/11/17/bsp-a-developers-journal-part-xiv--consuming-webservices-with-abap

lower version of WAS use class cl_http_client.

if this case you have to manually build the soap message.
