The SAP 6.x Kernel is HTTP/S and SMTP enabled.
There is an XSLT compiler (for serious XML activity)
 and an extensive set of classes that support both server and client http based activity.
There is also the new XI component if you are serious about getting into web services.
XI is XML-Soap based messaging hub with many bells and whistles.
 
 
Based on your brief description:
Start with the classes that begin with CL_HTTP*.
The help CD isnt bad in this area.
So yes with ABAP OO you can call a web service,
after using a HTTP client class in your abap.
The HHTP response can be processed.
 
If the response is XML, the XMLT processor could be useful.
ABAP can call XMLT processes.
 
happy hunting...
cheers

Hi
 Is there any way we can call a non dialog webservice from SAP without using webflow in 6.10 release?
 
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
 
Thanks
