There are several ways: If you're starting from scratch, the Composite Application Framework can support the development of components that are specifically designed to run in the NetWeaver environment. If the custom components have already been deployed in a .NET, J2EE or WebSphere environment, NetWeaver is designed to support their migration to run in the Web Applications Server. Custom applications being what they are, this may not be as automatic as you, or SAP, would like.
