BSP / Web-Dynpro (Java / Abap) what to use in this case ?

Hi all,
i have some questions about all this BSP/Web-Dynpro stuff. We have an application (for health care written in Visual Studio) out there at our customers. Some of these customers are using SAP as their backend system. So we've writte some backend functionality (a cash processing, additional reports, a special invoice system etc.etc.) in Abap and Abap-Objects. Actually we are planing a new release for this backend stuff which is using the normal SAP Gui.
Maybe we plan for the next release to convert our app to a Web based app and we discuss what SAP technology we should use for that.
Here are my questions :
- When and why should we use Web-Dynpro (Java) ?
- Can't we use BSP ?
- Is there any future for BSP ?
- When will Web-Dynpro for ABAP be released (actually we are not a Java Shop so Abap is prefered)?
Hope someone can answer my question.
Greetings
Henning

If you don't mind, I am going to terminate discussion of Web Dynpro ABAP here. It is not that I want to, but we are in a difficult position with this development, and can not really discuss it too much.
But, let me first make a few (last) comments:
(*) BSP is available since WebAS 610 (which is now nearly at the end of its lifetime). WebAS 620 is the main platform out there, with NW04 (WebAS 640) now shipping, and the next product is inevitably coming. If you keep in mind that SAP supports each release at least 7 years, and we will be shipping BSP in an upcoming release, you can see that with BSP you are not going to left stranded for many years to come.
(*) Web Dynpro Java is out and shipping. A very nice development environment. You can build nice things with it.
(*) Web Dynpro ABAP: it will become a very nice product as well. We should know :). But, it will definitely not ship on NW04 platform. Which unfortunately means the next great NW shipment (both naming and date is not available).
From our experience, most people seem to make their decisions based on the available Java versus ABAP skills in the shop. However, the other factor to look at is also "pixel perfect" rendering. Only with BSP can you influence the rendering. Web Dynpro is more a development platform for business applications, and as such they must conform to the designated model/concepts, etc.

What to use in this case?

I'm in CS3 I have an .swf of a skyline in the attached. The
design calls for text to tween up from behind the buildings on the
skyline. I was able to do this with a straight mask but you can see
the text coming out from the tip of the mask. I wanted to know the
best way cut the top of the jpg off and around the building tops so
you can start to see the text in between the buildings rather than
start to appear on a straight line. I know basic Flash but I'm a
bit rusty on getting the right formula for this to work.
Is Flash my best option to do this or should I do it in PS
first?

Accessing a R/3 Workflow workitem directly using Web Dynpro Java/ABAP

Hi,
I have a requirement for which I am not sure what will be the correct forum to post. But I guess it involves Portal / Web Dynpro so I started from here.
You can guide me to correct path as we move forward.
Current Scenario:-
There is a work-flow prepared in SAP R/3 system which triggers a mail to user with a link to Portal UWL. In UWL, user may select the task and click on it to execute.
Scenario to be developed:-
Instead of link in email to UWL, link should directly navigate to work-item in Work-flow.
Any idea how this can be done?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

I could make use of a standard SAP Transaction iView.
Location in portal catalogue:-
Content Provided by sap --> End User Content --> Standard Portal Users --> iviews --> com.sap.nw.bc.uwl.iviews --> uwl launch sap transaction
Here is the example:-
http://<ServerHostPort>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwlSapLaunch?System=<system>&TCode=SWNWIEX&AutoStart=true&DynamicParameter=p_action%3DEXECUTE%26p_wi_id%3D<workitemID>

Web Dynpro for ABAP and Floor Plan Manager

Hi.
How can I integrate an ABAP Web Dynpro application in the Java Web Dynpro based Floor Plan Manager (FPM) framework? I'm thinking of the "General Information" page in the MSS Business Package (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.general_information), where the manager use the Employee Search iView com.sap.pct.erp.mss.generalinfo_employeesearch based on the Java Web Dynpro application sap.com/mss~eepro.GeneralInformation to select individual employees.

Portal Eventing between Web DynPro Java iView and non-Web DynPro iView

Dear Experts,
I have 1 Web DynPro Java iView and 1 non-Web DynPro (using JSPDynPage and JSP) iView, both attached to a page. When Web DynPro Java iView fire a portal raise event, the portal iView did not execute the javascript function tied to the event subscribed.
Here is the code snippet which reside in the Web DynPro Java iView that is used to fire the event
String param = "test";
WPortalEventing.fire("urn:com.company.Test1", "TestEvent", param);
This the code snippet that is in the jsp page
function notifyTest(param)
     // Code to print param value here
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.company.Test1", "TestEvent", notifyTest);
Note:
1. When Web DynPro Java iView fire the portal event the entire page is refreshed, including the non-WDP iView.
2. When EPCM is replaced with window.top.EPCM, the page is refreshed, it is totally hanged with progress bar.
Can anyone help to solve this problem?

hi
Please write the below code snippet in ur jsp for notifyTestjavascriptfunction
function notifyTest( eventObj ) {
     eventParameter=eventObj.dataObject;
     // code to print the parameter "eventParameter"
Thanks

HTTP form post from Web Dynpro Java Application without opening new window

Hi Experts,
We are trying to submit form data to an external URL from Web Dynpro Java application. We are achieving this with the following piece of code.
try
   strPrintContent="<html>"+
     "<head>"+
     "<script type=\"text/javascript\">"+
     "function myfunc () "+
     "{"+
     "var frm = document.getElementById(\"paymentForm\");"+
     "frm.submit();"+
     "}"+
     "</script>"+
     "</head>"+
     "<body onLoad=myfunc()>"+
     "<form id=paymentForm method=post action=\""+merchantURLPart+"\">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=username value="+userName+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=pass value="+passWord+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=senderid value="+senderID+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=dest_mobileno value="+mobile+">"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=message value='"+msg+"'>"+
     "<INPUT type=hidden name=response value="+response+">"+
     "</form>"+
     "</body>"+
     "</html>";
IWDWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(strPrintContent.getBytes(),WDWebResourceType.HTML);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(webResource.getAbsoluteURL(),"WBSEDCL");
window.show();
catch(Exception e)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error : "+e.toString(),false);
But it opens another window. We dont need that. We have to stay on the same window. Please suggest what can be done.

Hi,
You can create a HTML file with the request post parameters and the external URL something like this:
public java.lang.String GetRedirecturl( )
// External URL
String html = "<html><head></head><body onload=\"load()\"> " +
"<form id=\"form1\" action=\"https://www.abc.com/xyz.jsp\" method=\"POST\">" +
// Post Parameters
"<INPUT TYPE=\"HIDDEN\" NAME=\"Param1\"VALUE=\""+Param1Value+"\">"+
"<input name=\"sap-wd-resumeurl\" type=\"hidden\"/>" +
"</form> " +
"" +
"<script>" +
"function load(){" +
"var loc = window.location.search.substring(1);" +
"var queryString = loc.split(\"sap-wd-resumeurl=\");" +
"if(queryString.length > 0)" +
"{" +
"var resumeURL = queryString[1].split(\"&\");" +
"if(resumeURL.length >= 0)" +
"{" +
" document.forms['form1'].elements['sap-wd-resumeurl'].value= unescape(resumeURL[0])" +
"}" +
"}" +
"document.getElementById('form1').submit();" +
"}" +
"</script>" +
"</body> </html>";
String redirectUrl = "";
byte[] byteArrayHtmlData = null;
try {
byteArrayHtmlData = html.getBytes("UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Internal error occurred. Please try after some time",true);
IWDResource htmlResource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArrayHtmlData), "Redirect.html", WDWebResourceType.HTML, true);
redirectUrl = htmlResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());
return redirectUrl;
Hope this will be helpful.

Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet what changes needs to be done from EP side

Hi All,
We are moving Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet.
what changes needs to be done from EP side?
I have made Web Dynpro ABAP iView calling Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet and linked it with page.
But It is showing an error 'Web Dynpro Application CATDATARECORD does not exist'.
Please suggest what other changes needs to be done.

Hi Anurag,
I have added new Web Dynpro ABAP iView to the same page in which Web Dynpro JAVA iview was added and made ABAP iview visible.
And this page is already assigned to role.
How should I link this ABAP iview so that it get replace by the Web Dynpro JAVA iview.
And the application name (CATDATARECORD) is correct and Web Dynpro JAVA is using the same application.
But now we want new time timesheet for that what changes needs to be done?
Please suggest.
