Java Stack for Web Service in R/3

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I am developing a Web Service in R/3 server. Developed a RFC and converted it to Web Sevice.

My question is, is it necessarily required to have Java Stack in my server or will it be enough to have ABAP Stack. My server doesn't have java stack installed. shall i be able to run my Web service with ABAP stack?

Please help me and give me some suggesions.

Hi Kumar,

the above answer is simply incorrect.

You can certainly provide a web service from the ABAP stack without any need for a Java stack.

There are several blogs, and lots of forum posts, that discuss how to do this.

If you have indeed "Developed a RFC and converted it to Web Service" then you are away.

Use transaction SOAMANAGER ( or WSADMIN, WSCONFIG on earlier releases) to publish your webservice and away you go.

You can search for "WSADMIN" and "WSCONFIG" as easy as I can.
