This is my first weblog and wanted to present a simple one. I realized there are less topics about SAP GUI for JAVA and have come up with this blog which will be useful for new comers in SAP Enterprise Portal. This document provides quick info on installation & configuration.


SAP GUI for JAVA
SAP GUI for JAVA can be used as Stand alone and also be used as an applet in a web browser. The functionality is identical to the standalone solution.
