Enterprise Java for SAP [Paperback]

Austin Sincock provides step-by-step real-world examples for developing Enterprise Java applications on SAP. His is the first title that uses open-source software to help developers learn and use Java for SAP.

Bridges the gap between SAPs language ABAP and object-oriented Java

Provides a complete look at SAPs Java connector, JCo

Demonstrates graphical application development for SAP using Javas Swing libraries

Shows how to deploy and build Java applications on the Tomcat Java application server

Teaches how to deploy the Java-based HypersonicSQL database, use SQL to populate the database, and tie the external database into an SAP system with Java

Enterprise Java for SAP is designed as an introduction to the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) for the SAP developer. After providing a general introduction to Java, author Austin Sincock explores how to open the typically closed SAP environment to the world of Java.

Utilizing SAP's Java connector, JCo, Sincock details an end-to-end web application that connects directly to SAP, including the deployment and implementation of both a web server and an external database. He explores communicating with an SAP environment through such Java and J2EE technologies as JavaServer Pages (JSP) and the Java Standard Tag Library, and database connectivity through JDBC.

Wherever possible, open-source technologies are employed to enable flexible Java connectivity to SAP—atypical for the SAP environment, in which tools are often proprietary.
