Hi,
If you use JCo to connect to R/3 system using RFC function modules, you do not need any middle ware.
But if your company uses some middleware tool for all the information exchange, then you must use that tool for the obvious advantages that a middleware provides in general
if your back end system (ABAP) in on WAS6.20 or above you could develope the content in ABAP engine itself (using BSP, ITS,etc) and host them in your website

Hello Pritam,
WAS is nothing but web application server. Now the application server in SAP can support web application also(Eg. JSP application, BSP application).
If this answers your question kindly close the thread and reward points

Hi
WAS stands for WEB APPLICATION SERVER
Actually previously to integrate SAP with WEB(internet) we used ITS(internet transaction server), which has some difficulties
after the WAS it has become easy for SAP to integrate with WEB
and with the latest NETWAEVER technologies SAP have become openness with
WAS.
