SAP provides a connector that works for R/3 (release 3.1i which is many, many years old and above - now they have reached 4.7) and all their "New Dimension" products like CRM, Business Warehouse, ... The API of this connector (called JayCo for Java Connector contains a Java library and a native library for the operating system on which it is installed) is rather stable and I think it is J2EE complient since JayCo 2.x. So updates shouldn't be necessary that often. Cheers, Reinhard
