Bsp-application views + packages

Question

hi folks,
is it possible to put a bsp-view of an bsp-application into another development package than the bsp-application is?
or how could this be done....?
as mimes of an bsp-application can reside in other packages thatn the application does, but what about views????
kind regards,
oliver

I don't think that it will be easy to do that. My initial idea was that you can just call a view which you place in a different namespace using the method create_view( '<application>/<viewname>' ). If this would be possible your third-party vendor would be able to create a table which would allow you to configure which view is called. But like Brian stated in his post this is not possible because the view has to be in the same namespace/application. To prove that take a look at this excerpt from create_view(...).
  l_app_name = if_bsp_page~get_application_name( ).
  l_app_nspace = if_bsp_page~get_application_namespace( ).
  l_current_page = if_bsp_page~get_page_name( ).
  if key is not initial.
    l_page_name = _m_navigation->find_page(
           from_page = l_current_page
           from_application = l_app_name
           from_namespace = l_app_nspace
           key = key ).
  else.
    l_page_name = view_name.
  endif.
  if l_page_name is initial.
    return.
  endif.
