Comparison between WebDynpro for ABAP vs. WebDynpro for Java ??

Hi,
   Can someone tell me when should we go for WebDynpro for ABAP and when WebDynpro for Java. Is there any link where SAP recommends the one for the other.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mukesh

Hi Mukesh,
Both are having its own strengths!! )
I think it all depends on your project requirement and the availabel resources.
If the developer is good in OOPs ABAP then he must go for Web Dynpro ABAP. But if anyone is good in JAVA then that person should go for Web Dynpro JAVA.
*In Short almost all Features supported in webdynpro ABAP are also Possible in webdynpro Java.
1] Webdynpro Java
Supports,
webservice
RFC Models
Accessing Portal information in Java
Easy sending E-mail
Strictly follows MVC architecture which seperate Business logic and Process flow.
Webdynpro Java is webbased programming model to develop SAP Applications.
Easy to learn
Easy to integrate in Enter prise portals.
Dynanamic Programming
*Easy access to R/3 Via RFC technology (Models)
2] Web Dynpro ABAP
As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
Hope this helps and solve your Problem
Cheers,
Darshna.

  • Webdynpro for ABAP vs WD for Java

    How different is WD for ABAP from WD for Java?
    I have a good knowledge of WD for Java and I know ABAP. But how good and efficient is WD for ABAP? Would it be better to use WD for ABAP or WD for Java for SAP based portal development?
    Thanks in advance,
    Reena

    <i>
    1. We can embedd the Web Dynpro for ABAP applications in SAP screens in ABAP environment. I don't think it is possible using java web dynpro.
    </i>
    Yes, you probably can, since the application can be fired simply by a URL, there is not reason that you couldn't have an HTML control in your dynpro and point to this URL. 
    To answer the original question,  the development model for each is pretty much the same, just two different flavors.  I think that some things make WDA better, one being that it is totally integrated into the ABAP development workbench and the Transport/change control system.  On the WDJ side, you development locally and "deploy" your changes using the DTR and CBS.  I'm not exactly comfortable with this quite yet, which is why I like WDA better..
    Another thing is that we have some built in stuff with WDA, like automatic search help functionality,  ALV Grid, and Select-option functionality.  I do believe that SAP is working on some of these for WDJ.

  • Webdynpro for ABAP - Popup apearing for userid and pwd

    Hi Experts,
    We have implemented ESS and gone live. Now we have created one custom application in webdynpro for ABAP and attached with portal.
    Initially there was a problem, the application was not getting executed because of system configuration, then I have configured the host name, port number correctly. Then the iView is getting loaded in the portal.
    The problem is, when I am trying to access the iView, the popup apearing for the user id and password. This is happening only the webdynpro abap application, this is not happening for all sap standard iViews.
    Could anyone help me with this issue?
    Thanks
    Jay

    Hi Jayanthi,
    as you had mentioned this is not happening for sap standard iViews(do you mean simple transaction iViews for which you have used a system alias, which was the same you had used for ABAP web dynpro iview)?
    Of courese ESS iViews works with their own JCOs which is no way helpful or connected with wd ABAP.
    So I believe if your SAP id and Portal id are different(or if they are same but SAP Logon ticket is not configured properly) then only it woudl ask for the authentication again- for Wd ABAP to work fine, only the connector property  and WAS to tbe configured in the system object(aka system alias) used for ABAP iview. Now once you enter the login credentials, it is working fine right, then could you please test the user mapping under the user you are logged in, select the alias that you had used while creating the abap wd iView and provide userid/password here, then run the wd ABAP application, it definitely would work.
    N.B: if you had provided the credentials once, then it woud be stored in the browser cache, so if you perform the user mapping in user admin, log off from portal, close all your browser windows, then clear cache,(cookies etc). then login to portal, run the wdABAP application, I am sure this would work(it worked for me!!!).
    Thanks,
    Jakes.

  • WebDynpro for ABAP F4-help for KAGRU like PERFORM f4_groups in KSB1

    Hello,
    I must realize a search-help in a WebDynpro-Component which looks like the F4-help in the transaction KSB1 for field KAGRU.
    In the report RKAEP000 it looks like this.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR koagr.
      PERFORM f4_groups USING    'KSTAR'
                                 gs_tka01-ktopl
                        CHANGING koagr.
    But in WebDynpro the Function   'K_GROUP_SELECT' wil generate a short dump.
    Has anybody an idea, how to make this in WebDynpro?
    Greetings

    How are you trying to use the search help?  You can set up value help in the component itself.  Go to the component controller context of your web dynpro component.  Select the context node attribute for which you would like to have value help.  Now go down to the properties.  Next to "Input Help Mode" select "Automatic".  If your node attributes were brought in from a table (SAP or custom), then if there is an existing search help it will automatically be brought up now next to "Determined Input Help".  Save your changes and activate.
    If a search help is not brought in when you change the input help mode to automatic, then you can still create your own method to provide the search help.  In this case you will need to create your method in the controller of the view where the user will be entering a value for the field.  The method type should be "Method".  Make sure to call your search help method within the method WDDOINIT of the view.  In the search help method you will need to navigate to your mode, select the values for the field, and then set the attribute value set using those values.  You will have to look into K_GROUP_SELECT to see where it is getting the values for KAGRU.  I don't think you can call K_GROUP_SELECT directly because it creates a pop-up.
    A third option is to use an OVS (object value selector) component.  Please see this document for help with OVS:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cf40cf90-0201-0010-4a85-e5a207b900d8

  • Performance comparison between using sql and pl/sql for same purpose

    Hi All,
    I have to do some huge inserts into a table from some other tables. I have 2 option:
    Option 1
    ======
    a. Declare a cusor for a query involving all source tables, this will return the data to be populated into target
    b. Use a cursor for loop to loop through all the records in the cursor
    c. for each iteration of the loop, populate target columns, do any calculations/function calls required to populate derived columns, and then insert the resulting record into target table
    Option 2
    ======
    Just write a big single "Insert Into ..... Select ..." statement, doing alll calculations/funtion calls in the select statement generating the source data.
    Now my question is ; which option is fast? and why. This operation is performace critical so I need the option which will run faster. Can anybody help???
    Thanks in Advance.

    while the above comments are vaild, you should concider maintainability in you code. Even if you can write the sql it might be the code becomes complex making tuning very dificult, and derade performance.Beg to differ on that. Regardless of complexity of code, SQL is always faster than PL/SQL when dealing with SQL data. The reason for that is that PL/SQL still needs to use SQL anyway for row retrieval, and in addition it needs to copy row data from the buffer cache into the PL/SQL PGA. This is an overhead that does not exist in SQL.
    So if you are processing a 100 million rows with a complex 100 line SQL statement, versus a 100 million rows 100 line PL/SQL procedure, SQL will always be faster.
    It is a trade off, my experiance is large SQL's 100's lines long become hard to manage. You need to ask yourself why there are 100's of line of SQL. This points to an underlying problem. A flaky data model is very likely the cause. Or not using SQL correctly. Many times a 100 line SQL can be changed to a 10 liner by introducing different logic that solves the exact same problem easier and faster (e.g. using analytical SQL, thinking "+out-of-the-box+").
    Also, 100's of line of SQL points to a performance issue always. And it does not matter where you move this code logic to PL/SQL or Java or elsewhere, the performance problem will remain. Moving the problem from SQL to PL/SQL or Java does not reduce the number of rows to process, or make a significant change in the number of CPU instructions to be executed. And there's the above overhead mentioned - pulling SQL data into a client memory segment for processing (an overhead that does not exist using SQL).
    So how do you address this then? Assuming the data model is correct, then there are 2 primary methods to address the 100's of SQL lines and its associated performance problem.
    Modularise the SQL. Make the 100's of lines easier to maintain and understand. This can be done using VIEWS and the SQL WITH clause.
    As for the associated performance issue - materialised views comes to mind as an excellent method to address this type of problem.
    my advice is keep things simple, because soon or later you will need to change the code.I'm all for that - but introducing more moving parts like PL/SQL or Java and ref cursors and bulk fetching and so on.. how does that reduce complexity?
    SQL is the first and best place to solve row crunching problems. Do not be fooled into thinking that you can achieve that same performance using PL/SQL or Java.

  • Is DD/MM/YYYY supported in webdynpro for abap application

    Hi All,
    We are using 2 different time statements one developed in webdynpro for java and other in webdynpro for abap.date format in java is DD/MM/YYYY but in webdynpro for abap is DD.MM.YYYY.
    is DD/MM/YYYY supported in webdynpro for ABAP application or even if user enters DD.MM.YYYY can we convert that to DD/MM/YYYY so that we will maintain uniformity in both the applications

  • How can we benefit from WebDynpro for ABAP over Normal ABAP

    Dear Guru's,
    Please guide me what are +Ves of WebDynpro over Normal ABAP. Once all Applications are developed how can we organize them. For Example In SD module there is sequence of Tcodes to be executed this is true for all modules . Is there any concept involved in this new technology.
    For What purpose we can suggest someone to implement in an Organization.
    Many Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    Here Are some comparisions I made w.r.t Webdynpro for ABAP (also some benifits over Java):
    1     "Pros:it will be easier to move your development project through the system landscape if both the UI and business logic are in the same development environment.(Update: This is is less of a concern now that CTS+ lets you bundle your WD Java UI developement with ABAP development objects into a single transport, with SPS13. )
    2     tons of custom ABAP business logic is easier to access via WD for ABAP
    3     WD for ABAP has a code wizard, so easy to build
    4     SAP List Viewer and ALV handled better
    5      The biggest thing is the NWDI. Most of the SAP customer have ABAP stack, but not everyone has the Java stack. To develop WD Java you need to set up the NWDI envrionment, like SLD, CMS, CBS, DTR, etc. which is a huge effort if you don't have them in place. While for WD ABAP, the environemnt is normally there as given for most of customers if they have the right version.
    6     If your business is in SAP system, I would prefer WD ABAP. There are many WD components available in WD ABAP like select-option, Alv table, F4-help which are not available in WD Java. Beside in WD ABAP you can deal the context node in form of internal table which is much more performant than dealing with the contextelement which is the case for WD Java.
