Consuming Stateless XI 3.0 Compatible Web Services 

Use

This section outlines the process flow you need to follow to create and configure a Web service client, which consumes a Stateless XI 3.0 Compatible Web service.

You use interface pattern Stateless XI 3.0 Compatible when you migrate from J2EE 1.3 compliant proxies to Java EE 5 environment. In all other cases, we recommend that you use interface pattern Stateless.

Procedure

       1.      In the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR), model a Service Interface (SI) using the Stateless XI 3.0 Compatible interface pattern.

More information about developing Service Interfaces: Developing Service Interfaces.

More information about interface patterns: Interface Pattern.

       2.      In the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, proceed as follows:

                            a.      Import the WSDL document of the SI you modeled at the previous step. Using the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, which is integrated with the ESR, you import the WSDL from the ESR. More information: Importing WSDL Documents in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

                            b.      Based on the WSDL document you imported, generate a deployable Web service proxy. More information: Creating Web Service Proxies.

                            c.      Implement a client application, which uses the deployable Web service proxy you generated. More information: Creating Web Service Client Applications.

                            d.      Deploy the Web service proxy on the application server. More information: Building, Publishing and Removing Published Java EE Applications.

       3.      In the SAP NetWeaver Administrator, configure the Web service client to apply runtime configuration settings to it.
