How can I retrieve a List of BAPIs with JCO?

Question

Hello!
I want to retrieve a list of BAPIs in Java. Does anyone have a code sample how to do this with JCO and SWO_QUERY_API_METHODS?
Regards,
Jan

Hi Diana,
I've written a small example here (refresh my rusty JCo!) which returns just the function names in a Vector.
Hope this helps,
Gregor
