HI,

1) JAVA is an open standard. Where as ABAP is SAP property.

2) ABAP has been developed keeping in mind the advantages that are offered by JAVA and other OO langauges.

Some of the important differences are

ABAP does not support OVER LOADING OF METHODS ( This is achevied using the OPTIONAL parameters in ABAP).

ABAP you can create class which is FINAL and ABSTRACT java does not support this. (ABAP supports this and this class can have only CLASS-DATA and CLASS-METHODS).

STATIC in ABAP is USER specific where STATIC in JAVA is Application level.

Regards,

Sesh
