ES2ME - A Framework for direct SAP Enterprise Service calls from mobile devices
with Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University [COIL Walldorf, April 2010]
Direct calls to SAP Enterprise Services from a mobile device are a challenge. This is primarily due to the limited support of Web Service standards on the respective devices and the complex structures of SAP Enterprise Services. As part of a COIL research project, a framework was built, that enables direct consumption of an SAP Enterprise Service from any mobile device with J2ME and http support. The calls can be performed without the use of a middleware and the Enterprise Service does not need to be adapted in the back-end. The framework consists of two parts. Part one is a tool that adapts the service definition for the development environment of the mobile application. Based on this adapted service definition the client application can be built. The second part is a mapping library that acts as a dynamic mediator between the modified service definition and the actual service at runtime. For further information you can view a video that demonstrates the use of the framework with a RIM Blackberry device or you can visit Bettina Ziegler's blog on the topic.
