One major concern when using JCo is simply that of SAP system resources. The SAP application server has a limited number of dialog users that can be allocated for use across the enterprise. Because JCO uses a synchronous RFC call to connect to SAP, it consumes a work process. If these connections are not carefully managed, you could wind up eating up every available work process, depending on the level of traffic your application gets.
