Hi,
>>I am not sure of XI ,since i worked on BC only,
do XI provide automatice generation of java code ?
Not like BC, you have to write it manually.
>>curently i am looking into the serive that will create
inbound idoc in R/3 (ORDERS),since i worked with BAPI
and BC ,i am not much aware of IDOC, can we call
IDOC in our service directly as BAPI ,if so how?
See IDOC and BAPI'S are two different techniques for contacting the R/3. What you can do is call IDOC inside BAPI. BAPI is like your function (say java) and inside that you are creating an IDOC (say a file) and you are sending it to that R/3. For IDOCs you have to set Routing rules and all..
