# SAP Connector 5.9 XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Although you can manually code a Mule app in XML, it is more efficient to use Anypoint Studio:

If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML, either from the Anypoint Studio XML
editor or from a text editor, you can access the connector from your app by adding reference
statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

If you add the connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the connector’s
namespace and schema location and it also adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `<mule>` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sap
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sap/current/mule-sap.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the `<mule>` XML block:

```xml
<mule xmlns:<connector>="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/<connector>"
	xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
	xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
	xmlns:file="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file"
	xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
	xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/file/current/mule-file.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/current/mule-http.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core/current/mule-ee.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sap
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sap/current/mule-sap.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
If you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access to
this connector:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-sap-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `x.x.x` with the version that corresponds to the connector you are using.

For JCo library support, add these dependencies:

```xml
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>mule-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${mule.maven.plugin.version}</version>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
            <configuration>
                <sharedLibraries>
                    <sharedLibrary>
                        <groupId>com.sap.conn.jco</groupId>
                        <artifactId>com.sap.conn.jco.sapjco3</artifactId>
                    </sharedLibrary>
                    <sharedLibrary>
                        <groupId>com.sap.conn.idoc</groupId>
                        <artifactId>com.sap.conn.idoc.sapidoc3</artifactId>
                    </sharedLibrary>
                    <sharedLibrary>
                        <groupId>com.sap.conn.jco</groupId>
                        <artifactId>com.sap.conn.jco.libsapjco3</artifactId>
                    </sharedLibrary>
                </sharedLibraries>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
```

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `sap`.

4.  Select the connector.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

## Next

After completing your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the SAP
[Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/sap-connector/latest/sap-connector-examples).
