Make function webservice enable

Former Member — Tue, 18 Jan 2005 12:00:32 GMT

Hi,

I have a function module (see below).

I want to make my function module work like a webservice!

Any pointers ?

MyCall: www.myserver.com?p_vkorg=4000

and then receive the resultset as xml.

Eg: <ZWEB_MAT>

</ZWEB_MAT>

Code:

Local interface:

*" IMPORTING

*" VALUE(P_VKORG) LIKE MVKE-VKORG

*" TABLES

*" I_MATERIAL STRUCTURE ZWEB_MAT

Make it Remote enabled and if you are on WAS6.2 and above then you can expose the same as webservice.

For WSDL generation have a look at <u><b>webservicebrowser</b></u> BSP application.

For more look at Thomas Jung's Weblogs.

There a lot of options. At the SAP side there is first of all the SOAP client tool https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloaditem.sdn?res=/html/soapclient_download.htm

You can opt for writing your own client in ABAP. See the weblogs /people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/11/17/bsp-a-developers-journal-part-xiv--consuming-webservices-with-abap and /people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2004/09/20/consuming-web-service-from-abap

Other language like Java, Perl, PHP can be used too. An example on SOAP::Lite can be seen at the weblog /people/piers.harding/blog/2004/06/16/lather-up-with-soaplite-and-the-web-application-server

If you don't wanna code anything, you can have a look at Altova XML Spy (http://www.altova.com/features_webservices.html), which also integrates with eclipse.

Hi,

OK. I really do not want to use SOAP in this case I have here....

I just wanna be able to call my WS like this:

www.mycompan.com/rfc/z_web_get_stock?p_matnr=123&p_werks=3100

and then receive it in xml.

The browser (For testing) should be able to do this ?!

Pointing to the URL with a browser will do indeed if you only want to see what XML your WS produces. The webservice browser Durairaj Athavan Raja mentioned will do also.
