Best place to begin design of old HTML pages with Web Dynpro

I am new to web dynpro (and the Netweaver environment).  I just took the EP150 course so I have an idea of how to create pages with both Visual Composer (although I doubt I'll use that much) and in java projects in NWDS. 
My first application is to be an online purchase requisition application to replace one written in Lotus Domino (this will NOT be integrated with R/3- we will have a seperate DB for these documents outside of R/3).  I have taken the HTML main page from that application and coded it as a JSP but I am getting the impression that the overall design/coding may be simpler if I do the project as a web dynpro.  I want to find some sort of a primer that describes the various controls that go on the web dynpro view in order to figure out how I can take my HTML design and bring it into a web dynpro project.  Can anyone point me to a resource that does this?  I've checked the help and SDN and not found anything that is too helpful yet.
Can anyone tell me if it would be worthwhile for me to attend the JA310 Web Dynpro course?  I have done a couple of the tutorials posted on SDN for web dynpro but haven't done much else with it as of yet.
Thanks.
Dana

I don't know such a migration guide, but here are some general remarks:
The Web Dynpro programming model does not use tag-libs, markup, scripting etc. as you might have used in JSP or BSP applications.
Instead, you create your view layout using the NWDS view designer (or the runtime API) and place UI elements like tables, input fields etc. inside containers.
Containers have layouts (e.g. MatrixLayout, RowLayout, FlowLayout) and UI elements placed inside a container have layout data for setting individual layout constraints. This is similar to programming in non-Web frameworks like Java Foundation Classes (Swing).
The UI elements get their data from the view controller context by data binding. There is a hierarchy of controllers (view, custom, component) and the corresponding controllers may be mapped, giving an automatic data flow through the controller hierarchy.
The complete details of markup (e.g. HTML), client-side scripting, CSS etc. is provided by the client-specific framework part and the application is completely shielded from these technical details.
This has the additional benefit that a Web Dynpro application can be run on completely different clients without change.
Example: If tomorrow it will be hip to run your business application inside some other UI technology, e.g. Adobe Flex, SAP will provide a new Web Dynpro client and all Web Dynpro applications will run without change inside this  environment. (Replace Adobe Flex by any other relevant framework).
Compare this to a programming model, that directly uses HTML, Javascript etc. Good luck rewriting several thousand user interfaces!
So in your concrete use case, look at your UIs from such a perspective and identify the Web Dynpro concepts. This should help in the migration process.

  • Publish no static html page with Web services

    Hello All,
    I would like to publish no static html page using Web services. I can't attach this html page as static because I need to change it dynamically from another vi. So, client can read this page by browser with refresh 2 sec.
    Thanks,
    Yustas

    Hi,
    I think It is not possible to create a dynamic HTML page, at  the most you could edit your page HTML and publish it again with the same URL
    I hope to be helpful.

  • Designing Embedded HTML Page with iWeb

    I designed a html page with with an embedded html page within it. It all looks fine in iWeb, but when I upload the page to the intenet and I try to view this page it does not come up properly. Although I initially see the page come up as I designed it (for a fraction of a second) it then disapears and I only see the page I embedded on my page.
    I added the following codes in HTML Snippet:
    <object data=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> <embed src=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> </embed> Embedd a web page within another web page. </object>

    As I said, the above pages come up fine in iWeb but not when I search them with Sagari.
    Can someone please help with this. Thanks, Padano

    This is the proper code :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    You can also use this :
    <div style="width: 650px; height: 650px">
      <script language="JavaScript">
        location.replace('../../../your files.html');
      </script>
    </div>
    Source : iframe alternative in the HTML Snippet
    And on this page you can see how to use <object> for html, png and jpg files :

  • Add html code in web dynpro application

    Hi
    Is there a method to add HTML Code in web dynpro application so that it works same as HTML works in browser
    I have to add a clock in my application How can i do that
    Best regards
    Suresh

    If you're on NetWeaver CE or otherwise use Wb Dynpro for Java 7.2 or higher, you could use the WebWidget control, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/bfa3b2e55657bae10000000a42189d/frameset.htm
    Otherwise, I'm afraid your only option is to use an IWDIframe component in your WDJ project, embedding the HTML.. Be carefulo though, the IWDIframe component is deprecated (since each server roundtrip forced a reload of the IFrame it was pretty useless)
    Hope this helps!

  • How to upload a HTML page with Flash image viewer?

    I´ve got a html page with a flash image viewer file inn it. Preview in a browser is ok, but I don´t get it right on the server. Is it something spesial with the swf file?
    This is what i have done: I just upload html -page, viewer swf file and the pictures to the same folder. Is this wrong?
    Sorry, I really don´t have a clue... Thanks!

    Sorry to say, but that is not a webpage -

    etc. etc.
    Nothing would work in that document.

  • A tree-view in HTML page with nodes generated with java script in run time is not visible in the UI Automation Tree. Need Help

    I have a HTML page with an IFrame. Inside the Iframe there is a table with a tree view
    <iframe>
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <treeview id="tv1"></treeview>
    </td>
    </tr>

    In UIA, i am able to traverse till the tree view but not able to see it.
    I have used the TreeWalker.RawViewWalker Field to traverse the node from the desktop Automation.RootElement. 
    I tried to use AutomationElement.FromPoint method to check whether i am able to get that element. Fortunately i was able to get the automation element. 
    i tried to get the path to root element from the node element using the TreeWalker.RawViewWalker. I was able to get the parent path to the root element.
    But trying the reverse way like navigating from root element to tree node, was not getting the element for me. 
    Please help me with suggestions or inputs to resolve this issue. 

    Thanks Bernard,
    It works fine with JInitiator but not working with
    the JPI. For JPI what settings I need to do ??hi TKARIM and Bernard, i am having similar problem even with the Bernard's recommended setup. could you post the webutiljini.htm (i presume you are using config=test) ?
    i am actually using jinitiator 1.3.1.28 with Oracle HTTP Server of OAS 10gR2) calling Forms Server 6i (f60cgi). After setting up according to Bernard's recommended setup steps, the java console showed that it loaded the icon jar file when it could not read the form, but it skipped the loading of the icon jar file once it read and started the form. How do we specify in the form to pick up the icon from the jar file instead from a directory ? Or do we need to specify ? Any ideas ?
    Thx and Regards

  • Replace HTML page with an applet

    Hello to everybody!
    I created a servlet who can manage file upload from an HTML page.
    Now I want to replace that HTML page with an applet.
    I know that I need to use multipart/form-data , but I have no experience with applet.
    HTML page code is:
    <html>
    <head><title>Upload</title></head>
    <body>
    <FORM ACTION="http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/servlet/UploadTest" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD=POST>
    What is your name? <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=submitter> <BR>
    Which file do you want to upload? <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=file> <BR>
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
    </FORM>
    </body>
    </html>
    Any help for "translating" this html page into an applet?
    Applet will send, like html page, a string and a file.
    Thanks in advance, Liuk

    If you use something like Apache Http Client you dont have to do any low level implementations.
    Also if you are the one who is writing both servlet and applet you dot have to stick to standerd formats. you can develop your own format and write both servlet and applet to handle it. that kind of thing can be done easily even with URLConnection. But if you plan to send large files then URLConnection may not be the right option becouse I have seen many complaining that URLConnection gives OutOfMemoryErrors when uploading large amounts of data.

  • Building HTML page with JSP from different applications

              Hi,

    Your program print the whole jsp source code??
    This is your web server configuration problem.

    Use a JEditorPane to display HTML (supports version 3.2 though)
    check API (that's for JDK 1.4.1 so check for version you use)

    I clicked on the firefox update & lost my old firefox page with my aol start & quick pick tool bar & this "new" page takes up more space so when I click on a different subject, I have LESS space to view it. . Why, WHY must you people always mess with things that were just fine. . I cannot eeven restore my computer to an earlier time, NOPE, won't do it. . So now what do I do ? ? Pete . . . God Bless . . . . I WANT MY PREVIOUS SETTINGS BACK ! ! ! ! !

    The problem is with the page that opens at startup?
    What does the new page look like? Can you paste the address into a reply?
    Or if it doesn't have an address, maybe it's a page created by an add-on. Can you see any indication of the source of the page? Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what it looks like. This article has tips on that (make sure to delete to cover anything confidential): [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    To reduce content size, try the zoom feature: hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - key once or twice. If you want to reset the page to the standard size, you can hold down Ctrl and tap the 0 key once (zero).
    But really we should get you back to the page you prefer, and hopefully with the additional details I requested we will be able to figure out what needs to get changed so you can do that.

    Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
