Consuming A Stateless Web Service (XI 3.0 compatible)

Use

With this XI 3.0-compatible interface pattern, you can continue to use all existing protocols up to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 in the back end that were developed on the basis of message interfaces. Message interfaces from the Integration Repository of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 are converted to service interfaces in the Enterprise Services Repository and are assigned this interface pattern. The interface pattern only allows one operation.

Procedure

The programming model supports the following functions:

• Sending a request message using a consumer proxy

  In synchronous communication, the consumer proxy receives a response message or a fault message.

  More information: Sending a Message

• Receiving and processing a request message by means of a provider proxy, and sending a response message or fault message back to the sender.

  More information: Implementing a Provider Proxy

• Handling application errors on the receiver side

• The ABAP proxy runtime supports protocols for the purposes of more specialist services. They are supported either by the XI runtime or the Web Service Framework, or by both.
