Does SAP NetWeaver AS Java support all the languages on the JVM or only Java?

Does SAP NW AS Java support all the language on JVM(Kotlin, Scala, Jython..), or only Java? If not is there a way to use other languages for SAP other than ABAP and Java?

Solution

  • Yes. It depends on the SAP JVM version you have.

    I believe that web based languages are available to use in specific contexts, but I believe they require ABAP or JAVA wrapper code.
