abap-java-portals need overview ?
Hi guys,
I know my question is rather wide and fuzzy at this stage, so please just ignore it if you think I should really start by reading some stuff around it.
On one hand, I have a java expert with web-related things knowledge, on the other hand, I have an abap expert with sap-related things knowledge. Each don't know anything about the other area. The company is going to implement portals with the help of consultancy agency.
What I would like those two to do now, is to make a sample web page that would show, for instance, a report about purchase orders. I want the web person to design the page and call the necessary bapi(?) provided by the abap person. This in order to gain already 'some' knowledge around the next step, even before undertaking a training (which is planned).
Could somebody point me out where I can start looking for a sample of code around it, or even only the basic concepts ?
Thanks in advance,
Ch

Hi,
Although I am not sure if your query still stands unresponded....you may look at the site Intelligent ERP.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are exactly AFTER the stage you are in (we have understood the concepts and the technological requirements, but prior to establishing the portal) so I can both sympathize and help you
The ABAP guys are required in order to create the BAPIs\RFMs that expose R/3 data to outside applications (this should be easy for your ABAPer).
The Web developer has some learning to do. He needs to understand the concept of iViews (basically, it's a java class that the developer has to extend in order to create the iView). Furthermore, he needs to understand how to connect to the R/3 system through the web environment. this is done through the Java connector tool.
Both those things can only be achieved after installing the PDK (portal dev. kit) which will also take you a few days.
Good luck,
Amit
