Representational state transfer communications via remote function calls

摘要

A business application backend system, such as an Advanced Business Application Programming backend can receive and respond to representational state transfer (RESTful) service requests via both HTTP and Remote Function Call (RFC) protocols. In particular, the backend system extracts the RESTful service requests and fulfills the extracted requests using a protocol-independent resource controller. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) backend system, a plurality of service requests from a client, the plurality of service requests including at least one Remote Function Call (RFC) service request in an RFC format, wherein the ABAP backend system comprises a business application backend system encoded in ABAP language that executes services, and wherein RFC comprises an interface to the ABAP backend system; extracting a representational state transfer (RESTful) request from the RFC service request in the RFC format; fulfilling, by the ABAP backend system using a protocol-independent resource controller, the plurality of service requests including by executing the RESTful request extracted from the RFC service request; and providing, by the ABAP backend system, services having RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs).
