Webdynpro ABAP or Webdynpro Java?

Hello experts.
I want to learn to develop WebDynpro's
Do you which of the two tools do you recommend? webdynpro java or webdynpro abap.
Greetings

Hi Lupe ,
Although both technologies have same functionalities but even then they are not identical.
Following are some of the differences:
Language :- First difference is the programming language used as the names Webdynpro ABAP and Webdynpro JAVA reflect. In ABAP Webdynpro, along with ABAP coding, RFCu2019s are also supported via Service call. Unlike Webdynpro ABAP, we cannot do ABAP coding in Webdynpro JAVA. Instead RFCu2019s and Web services are created and used in it to serve this purpose. In addition to Web services and adaptive RFC, Java Beans is another model supported by Webdynpro JAVA.
Design Time Environment :- Webdynpro ABAP requires ABAP Workbench (SE80) while SAP Netweaver Developer Studio is necessary for designing Webdynpro JAVA applications. So, additional installation is required. This studio reduces the development effort and utilizes some visual tools for creating components which can be reused.
Storage :- Applications developed using Webdynpro ABAP are stored centrally in ABAP server whereas in case of Webdynpro JAVA, the code remains on the client machine that is developed using a tool called Netweaver Developer studio. So, due to the powerful version control system of Webdynpro ABAP, the load removes from the development machine which is not possible in case of Webdynpro JAVA.
Skills Required :- For Webdynpro ABAP, a developer should have knowledge of ABAP programming, Development tools, Database concepts, ABAP Objects. However, Webdynpro JAVA requires skill set comprising java programming, java development tools and object-oriented concept.
Performance:- Large scale applications that involve large number of web users canu2019t work well on ABAP server. So, for robust and scalable applications, Webdynpro JAVA is preferred because of powerful J2EE server as proved by Sun Microsystems. However, small-scale or applications involving small or medium users can go well with Webdynpro ABAP. Thus, performance varies depending on the number of web users and one can choose ABAP or JAVA accordingly.
So the decession is that its totaly based on your available skillsets and your scenario to be implemented.
Thanks & Regards,

WebDynpro ABAP vs WebDynpro JAVA for Adobe forms--PCRs--MSS

Hi Experts,
This might be a generic question :
I am modifying PCRs (MSS 1.0,EP 7,ECC 6.0) and now I have come to a point where I need to decide if I have to use Webdynpro JAVA or Webdynpro ABAP for modifying Adobe interactive forms which come with MSS 1.0 out of the box from SAP.
What does SAP suggest??
What do you suggest??
Quick answers appreciated

Hi Aditi,
Thanx for your suggestion but let me just detail what Iam looking for;
I will have to develop a custom PCR for Hire/Rehire (no workflow -- weird right),
now if I develop Adobe forms for this, my question is how am I going to bind these forms to the scenario (QISRSCENARIO).
Whatever is entered in this form is not going through workflow but is going to be directly updated in the database when the manager says SUBMIT.
Usually the HR developer goes to the scenario and selects input by Adobe form and clicks <b>generate</b>, but now if I develop the form using Webdynpro JAVA how am I going to integrate the generated form to that particular scenario.
Sorry if Iam not clear enough, but I really need help in this regard.
Thank you

For sap mdm do i need to know webdynpro abap or java

hi
i want to learn sap mdm, then do i need to have knowledge in any of following languages?
1. webdynpro abap
2.webdynpro java
3. normal java( core java/j2ee )
4. normal abap
thanks
akhil

If you are using ABAP APIs then normal ABAP knowledge will come in handy
If u want to connect your MDM server to a portal system, then Portal knowledge will come in handy
Even the basic MDM scenarios are generally done by using Exchange Infrastructure
so basic knowledge of that is essential

Hi Vinay,
It depends on various factors. one is skill availability. IF client has Strong ABAP Development team, Client can go with WebDynpro ABAP, but if client has more Java skills, no issue in going with WebDynpro Java.
In HR, If you choose to use WD-ABAP, you can use many standard WD-ABAP components as search helps. ( WD-abap components HRRCF_C* , HRASR_C* etc )
But do keep in mind that, even if you go with WD-ABAP, you cannot do away with scripting using FormCalc or Javascript in Adobe Form depending on the complexity & UI elements/Search helps etc.
I personally prefer WD-ABAP & would strongly recommend WD-ABAP. Afterall, it is the language of SAP :).
Thanks,
Phani

Webdynpro ABAP called from IView JAVA works over http but doesn't over http

Hello gurus, like I said in the subject, we have integrated inside our JAVA portal a WebDynpro ABAP and it's working good over http protocol (http://<servername>:<http_port>/irj/portal), but when you browse the portal over https protocol (https://<servername>:<https_port>/irj/portal), everything works fine exept the WebDynpro ABAP, is like if the javascript components didn't be loaded completly, because the buttons doesn't make anything, and only half of the table that is supossed to be loaded is showed.
Do you know what kind of configuration I'm missing?
Thanks and best regards

You have to note here that for webdynpro ABAP applications, the http/https request is actually served by the backend server.
So, while accessing your webdynpro ABAP application, the request will be like:
https://<mybackendserver>:<backendport>/bc/sap/.....
While creating a system object in your portal (System landscape), you will need to adjust the protocol to https and also set the appropriate https port of the backend server. Also, HTTPS/SSL communication should be enabled on your backend server.
Please check the definition of your system object.
You can find more information by turning on a HTTP trace and checking how the request is routed to the backend server upon accessing the WD4A application.
Thanks,
Shanti

Calling Webdynpro Java Application from Webdynpro ABAP Application.

Hi,
We have developed one Application using Webdynpro Java and I m in need to call the Webdynpro Java application from Webdynpro ABAP.
Require Suggestions to acheive this.
Thanks In advance.
Reg,
Ajay.

Dear Ajay,
Assuming that both your applications WDA & WDJ are in the portal & you don't have to pass any parameters to the WDJ application.
Write the following code on the action where you would call the WDJ application.
DATA:
        lr_compcontroller TYPE REF TO ig_componentcontroller,
        l_component TYPE REF TO if_wd_component ,
        lr_port_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_portal_integration ,
        wa_navigation TYPE navigation.
lr_compcontroller =   wd_this->get_componentcontroller_ctr( ).
l_component = lr_compcontroller->wd_get_api( ).
lr_port_manager = l_component->get_portal_manager( ) .
* The value inserted into the navigation-target field can be found in the Portal
* content administration tab of your portal. It is the ID or PCD Location field
wa_navigation-target = pcd. " Please provide the PCD Location of the WDJ Application here.
wa_navigation-mode   = '0'. "0 = INTERNAL(same page) and 1 = EXTERNAL(new page).
CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
    EXPORTING
      navigation_target = wa_navigation-target
      navigation_mode   = wa_navigation-mode.
You can get the PCD from the Page properties of the WDJ application page in the Portal.
Hope it helps!
Warm regards,
Upendra Agrawal

How to use Java code inside WebDynpro-ABAP

Hi,
How to use Java code inside WebDynpro-ABAP.
Could any one provide sample code.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
We can't Bring Java Inside the ABAP. Both are running in different Environments.
and also ABAP Codes are runs on BASIS.
-Basis is a middleware between ABAP codes and Ur OS.
-Contains set of programs to load,RUN,intepret the ABAP program..
So Both are Different.

Implementing WebDynpro ABAP in JAVA Portal

Hello
We have a JAVA enterprise Portal and we would like to create an iView of WebDynpro ABAP application.
We have done it in our QA portal by creating a system and in the property editor configuring the "Web AS Host Name" & "Web AS Path".
It works great becuase there is only one ABAP application server.
However, in Productoin we have several ABAP application server and one central instance.
If i create a system using template and choose "SAP system with load balancing" , still In the property editor i see only "Web AS Host Name" .
How can i set in the system's property editor a group of servers that hold WebDynpro ABAP application ?
Does anybody have a clue ?
Adi J.

Hi Adi,
For load balancing purposes you should use the SAP Web Dispatcher. The Web Dispatcher will know all you web application servers and will redirect the requests to the app server with more resources available.
Thus you can set the Web As hostname and port to the Web Dispatcher.
You should avoid using the message server for load balancing purposes. I can suggest you the following SAP notes for further information:
1225587 - WebDynpro ABAP with Loadbalancing in the Enterprise Portal
1040325 - HTTP load balancing: Message Server or Web Dispatcher?
945516 - Web Dynpro ABAP in a portal environment
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Cristiano

Start both Webdynpro JAVA and WebDynpro ABAP from UWL

Hi all:
We are facing a situation. We need to start both JAVA dynpro and ABAP dynpro applicaiton from uwl. The JAVA dynpro application is the ESS absense request. And we also developed other workflow which use ABAP dynpro as work item . The problem is when we regist our ECC system to UWL, the system can only provide WAS java information or WAS ABAP. So there are alway one type of our work items can't start correctlly. How can I modify the UWL configuration to meet our requirement?
Anyone knows please notify, thank you very much!
Wayne

Hi,
when you try to register backend system , you will choose system alias which was already existing in the portal which has WAS hostname and port.
that is sufficient. Based on visualzation parameters , you can launch webdynpro abap/java tasks.
