Proxy Runtime (SAP Library - SAP Exchange Infrastructure (BC-XI))

Proxy Runtime

Use

Using the proxy generation function you can generate proxies for communicating across SAP Exchange Infrastructure. The proxies encapsulate the communication with the Integration Engine. Using a proxy that you have generated either for the outbound or the inbound side, you can exchange messages between various communication partners:

Runtime Component: Sender Side	Runtime Component: Receiver Side
ABAP or Java Outbound Proxy	ABAP or Java Inbound Proxy
ABAP or Java Outbound Proxy	Any Inbound Adapter
Any Outbound Adapter	ABAP or Java Inbound Proxy

Note

You can also exchange messages between the various adapters. However, this section only contains information about the proxy runtime.

Prerequisites

To communicate with the Integration Engine, the generated proxy objects call Proxy Framework methods. Therefore, the task of the proxy objects is simply to forward the data transferred during the call (for example, received data) to the Proxy Framework. This component is available as part of SAP Exchange Infrastructure from Release 2.0. It must be installed on the system that is connected to the Integration Engine by the means of proxies. This means that for Java applications the corresponding libraries for the Java proxy framework must be compiled together with the application. For more information, see the SAP Exchange Infrastructure installation guide.

Features

The proxy framework encapsulates all functions of the generated proxies at runtime. This includes the following:

Generating an outbound XML message or parsing an inbound XML message and calling the implementing class in the inbound case.
Forwarding the XML message to the Integration Engine or receiving the inbound XML message.

Further connection properties are configured in the Integration Directory first (for example, logical receiver systems, mappings, technical end points). Also see: Runtime.
