Hello Anitha,

Proxy is just a non language specific executable interface.

We use two kinds in XI videlicet ABAP and Java proxy.

ABAP proxy can be used with WAS version greater than 6.20

If u r wondering why we need ABAP proxy when we have a RFC..the reason is hat the overhead incurred is less in case of proxy and swift execution too.

There is a cliet proxy and a server proxy

The chief distinction betwen the two is :

Client proxy: Calls a webservice on the internet

Server Proxy : Provides an inbound interface as a webservice

for more details check

Hope it helps!!!!!!
