Quick Summary

This Website is currently under heavy construction. Sorry for this inconvenience.

I am planning to present a couple of calendarical and astronomical algorithms written in ABAP Objects. My personal "Ars gratia artis" project.

HTML generation is based on a local ABAP class specifically designed for valid (X)HTML and XML document creation.

Currently two Netweaver 7.0 HTTP Handlers (coded in ABAP) are in service.

moon.xml computing the current phase of the moon and some other information about the current time
geoip.xml returning data derived from GeoIP database about your IP address
