h1. Overview

The [sap2java open source project|http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsesap2java] provides a developer-friendly API for working with the Open Enterprise Foundation's [SAP Java Connector|http://www.huihoo.org/openweb/jco_api].  The project also includes a useful tool for the automatic generation of Java data object classes from an SAP remote-enabled function (RFC) interface.  The iJAG group has modified the sap2java source code to expand its functionality to include handling of more complex RFC interfaces than the original project allowed.  The source code requires occasional enhancement as additional SAP data types not currently accommodated are used by SAP RFC developers.

h1. Generate Java Data Object Classes from an SAP Remote-enabled Function Interface

# Check out or update the sap2java Eclipse project.  If needed, refer to the [iJAG FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions] for instructions on checking out an Eclipse project.
# In the sap2java project, open package src/com/sap/bapi/mapper. Right-click on class, testSAP2Java, and select "Run As..." from the context menu.
# Create a new Java Application run profile for testSAP2Java or open its previously created profile, then select the "Arguments" tab.
# In the "Program arguments" text area, add the following lines:
{code}
workspace_location 
package_name 
rfc_name
{code}
where

#* workspace_location is the target project's source code directory (wrapped in double-quotes), e.g.,  "$
{workspace_loc}
/myproject/src"
#* package_name is the package into which the generated classes will be written, e.g., edu.mit.myproject.proxy
#* rfc_name is the name of the RFC for which Java data object classes will be generated, e.g., Z_UT_MY_RFC
# Click the "Run" button.  The requested Java data object classes are generated.  You may need to refresh your project to see the change.
