BAPI Module components

The BAPI Module is a connector module written in Java that supports native BAPI calls directly to an SAP R/3 application. It extends the vision connector framework by implementing the VisionConnectorAgent and VisionBOHandler classes. The BAPI Module uses the SAP RFC libraries written in Java and C, which enables external programs to communicate with an SAP R/3 application.

Figure 23 illustrates the overall architecture of the BAPI Module. The BAPI Module is made up of the connector framework, the connector's application-specific component for BAPI, and BAPI-specific business object handler connector modules, as well as the SAP RFC Library.
