HI santosh,

SAP NetWeaver is a web-based, open integration and application platform that serves as the foundation for enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) and allows the integration and alignment of people, information, and business processes across business and technology boundaries.

It utilizes open standards to enable integration with information and applications from almost any source or technology. SAP NetWeaver is the foundation of SAP Business Suite and SAP Business ByDesign, and also powers partner solutions and customer custom-built applications.

Hi Santhosh,

NetWeaver is an application builder from SAP for integrating business processes and databases from a number of sources while exploiting the leading Web services technologies. Part of the company's mySAP product group, NetWeaver is getting a lot of industry attention as the first fully interoperable Web-based cross-application platform that can be used to develop not only SAP applications but others as well. NetWeaver allows a developer to integrate information and processes from geographically dispersed locations using diverse technologies, including Microsoft's .NET, IBM's WebSphere and Sun's Java technologies.

In short difference between before technology and Netweaver technology.

Before netweaver we used to have JAVA Application server and ABAP application server seperately... Using this NETWEAVER technology both are integrated as WEB AS. Now this Netweaver includes BOTH ABAP and JAVA together connect by a connector called JCO connecter.

So in this Netweaver Technology components are tightly integrated and can maintain relation ship with each other..

SAP NetWeaver includes a comprehensive set of components and tools.
