NW - SAAJ u0096 Implementation

Question

Hi,
I’m trying to implement a simple application using SAAJ API to send a SOAP message to a web service in which I want to place a document in the SOAP Message Body.
I’ve gone over the sun tutorial http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial-update2/doc/SAAJ2.html and while trying to implement a simple application I have encountered the following problems:
1.     jars in NW 6.4 didn’t support the implementation. At first I had an exception when tried to create connection with the SOAPConnectionFactory of :
Unable to create SOAP connection factory: Provider com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnectionFactory not found
which later was solved by adding saaj-impl.jar downloaded from sun jws developer pack 1.6
2.     Later, I had another exception of UnsupportedOperationException when trying to create a message with the MessageFactory which was also solved by replacing the saaj-api.jar provided with the NW with the saaj-api.jar that was also downloaded with the developer pack.
3.     later on another exception when using the method getSOAPPart in SOAPMessage object:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal/dom/DocumentImpl

Please help me with the following questions:
1. How to use saaj inside the NWDS env?
2. Is there other recommended solution to attach xml document to a SOAP message body?
3. A direction to any useful documentation on the subject in SAP env will be appreciated

Hi,
maybe the tool on http://service.sap.com/scl ( > start application) is usefull to you. There you can select business process and get a list of systems you need to install for this.
For FI, SD, MM and PP, you need to install an SAP ECC (6.0) system. For CRM an SAP CRM system. HCM you can technically run in the same ECC system as FI and the others. But a lot of customers do install a separate ECC system for HCM due to security reasons.
In ECC 6.0 a lot of industry solutions are already intergrated. But I think you have to install another ECC system for this wholesale industry thing.
But better check out the link from above.
