Want to create IDoc to Webservice Scenario

Question

Hi All,
I wan to do Idoc to Web Service Scenario, I have already done Idoc to File Scenario and I have mapped the file of both end in ESR and I am done with Configuration in Integration Directory.
Now If I want to convert it to IDoc to Web Service Scenario, what all steps need to be done. and also want to know that How we can access and Send the files from Web Service to PI 7.1. As such web service is not available need to create the same also.
Can anyone provide How to guide on this scenario.
Regards,
Nitin Patil

Hey,
     as you have familiar with idoc to file, the idoc to webservice scenario is not different.
     You need to do the ALE settings on the R\3 side. import the Idoc in XI.
     Now for mapping purpose you need the source and the target structure.
     In case of webservice you need to import the WSLD (unlike the file in which you wold have created the data type and message type)
In order to import the WSLD, you need to do following things.
Ou require NWDS and the following settings needs to be done
Deployement of Web Services:-
Step 1)
     Goto Windows->Open Perspective->J2EE development.
Step 2)
     Goto File->new->Ejb module(give project name).
Step 3)
     Right Click on the <project name> eg. work_ejb select new->Ejb.
Step 4)
     Give an appropriate EJB name and default package (eg. com.xxx.yyy).
     Also select stateless Ejb.
     Click next then next and then next.
Step 5)
     Add method with an appropriate name.
     Mention the return type and also assign the required parameters.
     Logic is written in the EJB module bean.
Step 6)
     Right click on the <project name> and build.
     Creates .jar
Step 7)
     Goto File->new->Enterprise Application project(to create EAR)
Step 8)
     Give project name, assign EJB and build.
     Creates EAR.
Step 9)
     Right Click on the EJB.
     Goto new->Web services.
     Specify name of the web service.
     Specify EAR in the WEB service.
Step 10)
     Build EAR.
     Build Ejb.
Step 11)
     Goto Windows->Prefrences->SAP j2EE engine.
     Give the message server host name.
Step 12)
     Right Click on EAR and deploy.
Step 13)
     Goto-> http://<host name>:<port no.>/index.
Step 14)
     Choose the web service name,test it and download it(default WSDL).
Step 15)
     Import port(WSDL) in External definition of SAP PI.
After you import the wsld, you need to follow the same procedure as idoc to file.
