Webservices on WAS6.20 ABAP stack

Question

Hello Everybody,
I know, there is an option available to expose RFCs on WAS6.20 server.
I have tested and it worked fine also.
But, here I am more concerned about usability of this option in the production environments. Can we take use of Web services in WSA6.20 ABAP stack for production?
Have anybody developed any solutions using this approach for production environment or any companies, who has used this approach in the production environments?
One more question:
Can we provide secure connection for the communication between WS client and Web Services?
When I call RFCs through Web Services, it uses http connection. Can I replace http connection by https connection?
Waiting for reply.
Thanks in advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
  Consuming webservices in WAS 6.2 is not so easy becos it does not support proxy generation. Nevertheless Thomas Jung has succesfully consumed webservices in 6.2 , for more on that have a look at  <b>BSP a Developer's Journal Part XIV - Consuming WebServices with ABAP</b>  @ </people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/11/17/bsp-a-developers-journal-part-xiv--consuming-webservices-with-abap>
Again for having secure connection between client and server have a look at the CONFIGURATION section of the same blog.
Hope that answers your questions.
Best regards,Girish
