Apache Tomcat and eclipse for EP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have got anew book on SAP Enterprise protal by SAP Press.

There is also a CD which contains Portal development kit, eclipse 2.1, apache tomcat 3.3.1 and portal development kit plug-in for eclipse.

I don't have any SAP Access as if now.

Is it possible to learn SAP EP programming based on the softwares I have got on these CD and the book.

Hi Tushar,

You will have a better answer if you post this in the EP portals. Just with my limited knowledge, I think you should be able to do some work on it without the backend R/3, because EP is supposed to support different backends. Why don't you download the WAS64 90 day trial version?

Tushur, yes you can use that software to learn how to code JSPDynPage applications for the portal. This is how I started learning portal technology. I have since moved on to webdynpro. You might consider, as Srinivas suggested, download the Sneak Preview of WAS 6.40 java. This will give you a complete development envirnment, the NWDS, the portal, and the WAS to run it on. Next thing you now, you'll be writing webdynpro apps like the best of em.
