bTalk Enterprise is an enterprise-level integration tool, built with the developer in mind. Once the Web Service component is built, it is little more than one single line of code to hook up to SAP information.

While bTalk Enterprise builds Java Web Services, client applications that connect to the Web Service can be built in any platform that supports Web Services, including Java, .NET, CFMX and FlashMX to name a few.

The Web Service components created by bTalk Enterprise are fully J2EE, .NET and SOAP compliant. With the click of a few buttons, a developer can hook up to SAP data and build applications that are customized to a customer's needs.

The diagram above shows all components built using bTalk to facilitate a request and response into SAP using Java Web Services. bTalk Enterprise generates the following:

1. Java Web Services (handles the transaction between app server and SAP R/3 through the BAPI/RFC.
2. The Java Server Pages (which acts as a sample handler and display templates)
3. The HTML form (the HTML form for entering input parameters)
