How to enable a SAP FM or BAPI for XML-RPC or SOAP access

Question

I just created a Function Module, made it Remote-Enabled, and now I want to invoke it via XML-RPC over HTTP. I'm on SAP NetWeaver App Server ABAP v7 . What other configuration is required in order to expose my FM over XML-RPC? How do I configure the end-point URL and all that?

Many thanks.

SDN上对此主题有多种解释， 这里和这里描述了从功能模块生成Web服务的过程， 这里描述了基本的Web服务配置（即SICF）。

What concerns XML-RPC

No, this is not possible to directly call SAP FM in XML-RPC style. You have two workarounds:

1. Use SAP SOAP adapter for calling SOAP-enabled FMs
2. Make a SOAP wrapper for your XML-RPC call in whatever programming environment you have. It is rather simple

What concerns SOAP

It is natively supported, there are plenty of manuals how to do it.
