Calling a method in another webdynpro component

Hi,
I have two webdynpro components say Comp A and Comp B.
In Comp A I had a view View A and in Comp B I had a View in View B.
In View A, I had a method X, I want to call this method in View B of Comp B.
How I can do this?
I created a public part of Comp A and tried to add in used webdynpro components. But in the list I am not able to find it.
Please help.
Regards
MQ

Hi,
If both the components Comp A and Comp B are in the same DC you can use the interface controller to call the method in comp A. Add this comp A interface controller in Comp B controller by going to the properties tab, so that you can access the methods of comp A interface controller.
If you have the components in different DC's you can follow the below steps:
Go to public parts in DC meta data section and create a public part by selecting the first radio button option and add the Comp A by selecting the option (Webdynpro Component-->Selected Entities).
Click on Finish button so that public part for comp A is created.
Now build the DC and go to Used Webdynpro components of CompB, give some name and browse to select the used webdynpro component, it will show you the Comp A public part select it and try to finish it.
Once again build the Dc after doing this.
Now you can access the method of comp A in Comp B
wdThis.wdGetCompA.getX()...
Hope this helps you..

Through Enhancement, how to call a Webdynpro method from another webdynpro?

I have a standard page with 2 iViews with a standard abap webdynpro in each.
The first webdynpro needs to refresh the second webdynpro.
Through enhancement, I tried to follow the solution below:
first of all in the child component's component controller method(which you want to expose to another component) must be checked in the interface column.
Double click on the webdynpro project(parent component)->In the used components tab, in the column of component type the child project name(whose method you want to call) and in component usage column give any name->save the project.
goto the controller(VIEW or COMPONENT) from where you want to call the method->click create controller usage->select the interface controller of the child component->save the project.
click the code wizard->select method call in used controller->select the child component interface controller ->select the method you want to call.
Link of thread: Calling a method of other webdynpro component
But this solution doesn't worked because in this standard webdynpro is not possible to check the method as Interface.
Is there other way to do this?
Thanks.

Reuse FPM configuration in another webdynpro component

Hello,
I would like to define the navigations and buttons in one component configuration . And then use this in another webdynpro component. As the buttons/navigation is applicable to multiple requirements. So I would like to reuse it.
I tried to do this using the developer's guide (7.0 , EhP2). But I am getting a dump
'The current application triggered a termination with a short dump ' .
Not sure if I am doing some thing wrong. Any ideas in this regard would be helpful.

if your actual coding is like as it is above then it will give dump. For example
ls_conf_key-config_id = u201CID configuration of FPM componentu201D.
You need to replace the u201CID configuration of FPM componentu201D with the actual component configuration id.

Can't add list element when calling a method from another class

I am trying to call a method in another class, which contains code listmodel.addElement("text"); to add an element into a list component made in that class.
I've put in System.out.println("passed"); in the method just to make sure if the method was being called properly and it displays normally.
I can change variables in the other class by calling the method with no problem. The only thing I can't do is get listmodel.addElement("text"); to add a new element in the list component by doing it this way.
I've called that method within it's class and it added the element with no problem. Does Java have limitations about what kind of code it can run from other classes? And if that's the case I'd really like to know just why.

There were no errors, just the element doesnt get added to the list by doing it this way
class showpanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseMotionListener {
       framepanel fp = new framepanel();
       --omitted--
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              if(e.getSource() == button1){
                   fp.addLayer();
/*is in a different class file*/
class framepanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
        --omitted--
     public void addLayer(){
          listmodel.addElement("Layer"+numLayer);
          numLayer++;

How to call a method of another class ?

Hello,
I�d like to know how to call a method of another class. I have to classes (class 1 and class 2), class 1 instantiates an object of class 2 and executes the rest of the method. Later, class 1 has to call a method of class 2, sending a message to do something in the object... Does anybody know how to do that ? Do I have to use interface ? Could you please help me ?
Thanks.

Resue of Custom Controller to another webdynpro component

Hello,
I would like to use all the methods and context of one custom controller residing in one webdynpro component from another view residing in another webdynpro component.
Could you please give me an idea asto how this can be achieved?
For this I have added the first webdynpro component(which has the custom controller) to its public part and added the first component to the other webdynpro component(which will resue the previous one) as a used DC.Now I want to access all the methods of this custom controller in the view of this second component.
Thanks and Regards,
Arya

Hi
To make uses of component and its other controller u have to deal with [ Interface controller|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f07c3625-c971-2910-3a9c-ce131487f82c]
For [Custom Controller|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c4/862594e85911459301aa71a2b7b6b4/frameset.htm] it is nothing but a separation of the component controller task into unit for example want to implement OVS ,so put it in one dedicated custom controller etc.
Best Regards

Calling a method from another file

This is pretty basic stuff but i can't seem to get it right. I am calling a method from another file. The other file IS located in the same folder BUT when i compile i get errors
"cannot find symbol" <===referring to limit and sieve i believe.
The method name is "sieve" the file name is "PrimeSieve2008" and "limit" is the variable in brackets in the real method.
     public static void main (String [] args) {
final int [] PRIMES;
int sieve = PrimeSieve2008.sieve(limit);
     PRIMES = sieve(getValidInt());
          for (int j = 0; j<PRIMES.length; j++) {
               System.out.println("Prime[" + j + "] = " + PRIMES[j]);
Is "int sieve = PrimeSieve2008.sieve(limit)" the wrong way to call a file?
Thanks a million,
Alex

I really am clueless here.in this one you are passing in limit.
in the other one you are getting limit from somewhere outside of main.

Calling a method from another class... that requires variables?

I'm calling a method from another class to change the date (its a date object) in another class.
I keep getting the error 'setDate(int,int,int) in Date cannot be applied to ()'
My code is:
public int changeDate()
cycleDate.setDate();
}I'm guessing I need to pass 3 parameters (day, month, year), but I'm not sure how! I have tried, but then I get errors such as ')' expected?
Any ideas! :D

Any ideas! :Dyou need to post your code if you're getting specific errors like that.
but typically ')' expected means just that, you have too many or not enough parenthesis (or in the wrong place, etc.)

How do you call a method from another class without extending as a parent?

How do you call a method from another class without extending it as a parent? Is this possible?

Why don't you just create an instance of the class?
Car c = new Car();
c.drive("fast");The drive method is in the car class, but as long as the method is public, you can use it anywhere.
Is that what you were asking or am I totally misunderstanding your question?

How to call method in another mxml component

HI to all friends out there. I am stuck at some point . I need to call public method which is in other mxml component file in another mxml component.
So please tell me how i achieve this . I need to call inside event method which activate when user click on mu advancedatagrid item.
So please tell me how to acheive this.
Thank you in advance.

If the functionality you need is self-contained within the component, you can dispatch generic event to the main application, and over there define the handler function.
If you need more specific interaction triggered by the component, you have to create custom event Class and then dispatch custom event.

Calling a method from another class or accessing a component from another

Hi all
im trying to make a find/replace dialog box
my main application form has a jtextpane and when i open up the find and replace dialog box it has two textboxes (find and replace)
now i have the code to do the finding on my jtextpane but how do i call that code to do the find method?
I have tried having the code in my main application class but then how do i call that method from my dialog box class?
ive also tried having the code in my dialog box class, but then how to i tell it to work on my jtextpane which is in my main ap class?

well if someone had been nice enough to provide me
with a tutorial i wouldnt have gotten into this
muddle, no need to be rude is there!I'm not rude. And you also wouldn't have gotten into the muddle if you searched yourself. This site provides many very good tutorials about all kinds of stuff.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/classes.htmlAmong other things, it mentions that "static" defines everything that belongs to a class, as opposed to an object.

Embeding WebDynpro component into another webdynpro component

Hi,
I am trying to embed one (embeded) WebDynPro Component in to another(inner) . I have followed the tutorials for Server side eventing at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/243ca46e1c334f8a6f8b0792656bc7/content.htm
Here are the steps I did.
1) Created two WebDynpro component "embeded" and "inner" components in a project with two views embededView and innerView respectively.
2) Defined the component usage in "embeded" component.
3) created a viewset at "embeded" component. included embededView and innerView in the viewset.
4) Included required controllers at embededView.
5) Created two button at embededView and linked it to action and wrote code to create the componet using componentusage instance.
But unfortunately i could not able se to any component created i.e the view of inner component is not visible at all.
Could anybody have an answer to the above query.
Regards
Alok

Hi Alok,
As far i understood the scenario. You want to see/embed one webdynpro view inside another web dynpro view when you click some button in the outer web dynpro view.
Is it correct ?
I had the the following approach.
>created two wen dynpro component in a project.
>define the view for the inner component.
> In the Outer component, i added View Container.
> In the View Container, i embedded Interface View of inner component.
> write some code to view this in the on action event of the button used to display the inner view.
If you are working on the same scenario, it is one method to go
Rgds,
Vilish
