MicroITS Programming Model

For SAP MI 1.0, the MicroITS Programming Model was used. MI 1.0 used its own webserver, that was replaced by Apache Tomcat as of MI 2.0. As this own web server did not have a JSP engine like Tomcat, a new programming model for it was invented. As this programming model uses a syntax that is almost identical to the Flow Logic and HTMLBusiness used on the SAP Internet Transaction Server, the programming model was termed microITS.

The microITS programming model is still supported by higher releases of MI, but for all new applications, JSP should be preferred for all browser based applications. Therefor, the MDK does not go into more detail about microITS.
