In the webservice to RFC scenario i am trying to create a webservice from the tools->define webservice option. the system takes to me a webservice creaton wizard and it asks for the Integration Server SOAP inbound channel URL I know that the  syntax of the URL is like shown below.
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel
How do I know what is the host and port of the system??

Hi,
TCODE: SXMB_IFR
Then you'll see then server, port .
Also:
SMICM -> goto -> services
Java basic knowledge is required where u can able to write the user defined function in graphical mapping,
but sometime the requirement is not fullfilled then u need to to go for advance java for writing a java mapping or adapter module program.
We use ABAP Proxies in case of we are dealing with the ABAP Based Applications
We use JAVA Proxies in case of we are dealing with the JAVA based application
in SAP XI We have two ways of connectivity
1) adapter
2)proxy
in applications based on WAS 6.20 or above we can directly communicate to XI through Proxies
while application based on below WAS 6.20 you have to use adaptyer to communicate to XI
proxies seperate business application logic from the integration logic of integration logic
proxy generation converts non language specific interface description in WSDL into executable interface
Java proxy is generated from the WSDL description opf interface and this is generated as a JAR file in IR
while ABAP proxy is generated by transaction SPROXY
on Application server based on WSDL description of message interface
PROXIES have same mode and direction as Interfaces have
To learn Java you should know only basic concepts of java means you must have basic java programmin skill
Java proxy can be generated through wizard also this is an inbuild functionality of SAP XI
to lear java follow this link
java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
To learn ABAP you should know beginner level ABAP4GL
ABAP is very simple language and coding is like that you are writing simple english sentence so you would be feeling comfortable withABAP with a little practice
GO to T CODE se24 and start developing
