What is a BSP Application?

A Business Server Page (BSP) application is a complete functional application, like a classic SAP transaction. However, this application is executed in a Web browser rather than in the SAPGUI. HTTP or HTTPS is the protocol used to access the application across the network, thus allowing the use of standard products like firewalls and proxy servers.

The Business Server Pages programming model is similar to the server page technology. The BSP programming model helps to guarantee an optimum structure in the interface and business logic.
