Flash vs Web Dynpro - difference

Hi there
Has anyone had a problem with toolbar buttons when compiling a VC model as Web Dynpro? I have a form that has a toolbar with 'back' and 'next' buttons. These buttons show up and work fine when deployed as Flash, but don't even display when deployed as Web Dynpro. Interestingly, buttons on a table view toolbar work fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Trish

Yes Trish,
HTML iview will not support in webdynpro compiler and you can use only less operators( filter and sort) and look and feel will be like webdynpro application.Some RFCs also will not support here.
Flash compiler has all features and has a good look and feel and also more preferable for VC.

  • Differences between compiling a VC model with Flash or Web Dynpro

    Hello forum,
    Is there anyone capable of telling me what are the main differences between compiling a Visual Composer model with Flash compiler or Web Dynpro compiler.
    I've noticed that some important features aren't available when I use the WD compiler, such as creating a popup directly from the output of a table and I can't install a scroll bar to navigate through the table records (it only allows me to place some navigation buttons in the bottom of the table, and this is not a very user-friendly solution).
    If you were me, would you choose the Flash compiler?
    By the way, do you know a way to increase the performance of a report created with VC? When I execute the iView on the Netweaver Portal, I see that a iview compiled with Webdynpro consumes less 15MB of memory when running the report than a similar iview compiled with Flash.
    Thank you.

    I found this old post while searching for something else. The main difference between Flash and Web Dynpro modes is that Flash works and Web Dynpro most emphatically does not. Some of the (many) disadvantages of Web Dynpro mode.
    1. It will not let you design your own screens. The designer will let you resize and position your fields thus giving you the illusion of being in control, but at runtime it will resize your fields and position them where it thinks fit.  This greatly increases development time since you can never be sure what any changes you make to your screen will look like until you run it.  
    2. You cannot include horizontally and vertically aligned fields in the same form; depending on the option you choose it will align them all vertically or horizontally.  Which means that if you do need eg a horizonal row of pushbuttons at the top of your screen followed by a set of vertical fields, you have to use a separate form for each. 
    3. You cannot use the Editing mode = Read-only mode to make all the input fields in a form non-entereable.  You can select it in the designer,but at runtime it doesn't take a blind bit of notice.  The only way to make a field non-enterable is to check the Disabled box which turns it a very pale and almost invisible grey which looks awful.
    4. You can't change the font or colour of texts.
    5. Lots of the controls are not available eg the clock.
    6. You cannot create toolbars on forms, or rather you can but at runtime it just ignores them. 
    7. Adding a hyperlink to a pushbutton does not do anything (this is my latest discovery).
    All of the above work in Flash mode.  We have to use Web Dynpro because we need the screens to work with screen readers for visually impaired viewers, but anyone who does not have this constraint should avoid using it like the plague.

  • Integrating Flex/Flash in Web Dynpro ABAP(Netweaver 7.0) need info!

    Hi all,
            I need to embed a flash or a flex object inside a web dynpro abap application.I am working in Netweaver 7.0 and i don't have enhancement pack 1 installed.Is it possible ?   If it is possible can anyone please provide me the coding and configuration details.
    Thanks,
    Saikat

    I'm afraid that the SAP supplied integration technology - call FlashIslands - is only available from NetWeaver 7.01 and forward.  You could perhaps do some simple integration (very little data transfer) with the iFrame UI element - although the iFrame is deprecated in 7.0 and 7.01, but does return to full support in 7.02.  The other option would be to use the NetWeaver Portal or NetWeaver Business Client and have two iViews within the page. One iView would have WDA and the other some external technology (BSP, JSP, etc) to host the Flash/Flex content.  Not tight integration, but you could potentially use Portal Eventing to at least communicate events.

  • Adobe Flash Islands + Web Dynpro Java - CE 7.1 EHP1

    Hi All,
             I am currently working on flash islands in web dynpro java(CE 7.1 EHP1  Trail version). i have done some sample projects in Flex Builder and using the complied(Flex Complier 2.0) SWF file, i was able to do data transfer between web dynpro java and Flex component. every thing works fine till this but if i complie the flex project using Flex Complier 3.0, i am able to see the Flex component rendered in web dynpro java, but data transfer dosent work.
    i have checked few thread in SDN and came to know to use WDFlashIsland30.SWC library to complie using FLex Builder 3.0.
    i got this library and complie the Flex Component using Flex Complier 3.0 and placed this WDFlashIsland30.SWC in server also but the problem exists .... the complied Flex Component is getting reddered in web dynpro java but the data transfer is not happening ???
    what could be problem ???
    1.  Is it enough to place the WDIslandLibrary30.swc libraby in CE 7.1 EHP1 version for data communication between Flex and Web Dynpro Java if so what could be the problem ?
    2. Or do i need update the Server ???
    Thanks and Regards,

    HI,
    your issue is completely independent from the server, it's a pure client problem. In general Web Dynpro Java does not care which Flex version you used to compile, as long as you used the right library.
    If you did not change anything else it should work. Are you sure you replaced the used library and changed the source-code-compliance before recompiling?
    Kind Regards,

    Hello,
    See Note: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1312542
    Flex SDK 3.4 and higher is not supported as documented.
    You should use Flex SDK 3.3 to build Web dynpro FlashIslands.
    Hope this helps!

  • About Flash Islands In Web Dynpro Java

    Hi All,
    We developed a sample Web Dynpro Java application with Flash Islands. It executed fine. We used the Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 Compiler. But now we have a requirement to use Flex 3.2 complier. But if we use SWF files in Web Dynpro, comipled with Flex 3.0 complier, It is not rendering the UI components. How can I resolve this problem. In some thread, I saw this problem is resolved in latest patch of CE 7.1 EHP1. Is it?. If so what is that patch and from where I can download this patch?
    Thanks,

  • Web dynpro Flash Island will not load in portal

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know what could be the cause why our FlashIsland wont load into the portal.
    We do get the blue Flash-background and if we right-click on it,
    the right-clickMenu has an item "Movie not loaded".
    The server supports FlashIsland because we are using Netweaver 7 EH 1.
    Also we haven't got any problem to run normal web dynpro's with FlashIsland.
    Is there something you need to configure to use FlashIslands in the Portal.
    edit:
    I also added a new workset and some pages with iviews..
    If i include my Islands here it works.. Only if i alter a webdynpro app that is already added to the portal
    the .swf won't load...
    Does anyone has an idea?
    Kim S.
    Edited by: Kim Schoukens on Oct 26, 2010 5:29 PM

    I'd be checking how those original iViews were defined - quite possibly they aren't built in the same way. The island needs to load some libraries and will be relying on a relative path to find these libs - if the path to the app is not defined in a "normal" way then this link may not resolve correctly.
    Worst case - rebuild your iViews if that is working for you.

  • Open Innovation Call: web dynpro to flash render

    Like part of the Open Innovation Call initiative: /people/ignacio.hernndez/blog/2006/12/22/open-innovation-call ,
    I begin this forum thread to open the discussion about "Web Dynpro to Flash Render project":
    It is possible to have a web dynpro (java or abap) project, import it at visual composer and make some flash render ? I mind, i developed my project in web dynpro and now i want the flash experience.

    Ignacio,
    I can't say for sure, but it seems that this innovation is already running within SAP
    Please google for "SAP Project Muse" and you'll find out that SAP currently developing new GUI (or see on SDN <a href="/people/jeffrey.word/blog/2006/06/06/project-muse--new-gui-for-sap">Project Muse -- new GUI for SAP</a>).
    Project Muse will use <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo">Adobe Apollo</a> presentation technology, that is extension to <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/">Adobe Flex</a> technology that is run within Adobe Flash Player.
    So in fact it seems that WD applications will be running within Flash (or Flash-like) player from Adobe.
    As of implementing third-party WD renderer using Adobe Flex, it is theoretically possible. But it's necessary to have access to internal XML protocol/formats used by SAP Smart Clients (.NET & Java) to communicate with WD run-time running on SAP WebAS. Unfortunately, these protocols/formats are not publicly released

  • Difference between pdfsource & datasource in adobe forms - web dynpro abap

    Friends,
    Please let me know the difference between the adobe form attributes pdfsource and datasource, when used in Web Dynpro ABAP. What is the significance of specifying both and the difference between them.
    Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Pdfsource is a attribute defined to read the form. Suppose in an Application you need to read values from fields on the pdf form. In that case you give an attribute as a pdfsource which will contain all the data in XML format. You can read these values and assign to different data node. normally its helpful in reading offline forms.
    Datasource is a node containing one or many attributes which stores data at runtime. The fields on the interactive forms are bound to these attributes. When you give a context node as data source to the interactive form then it appears in the designer on the left handside in the data view. From there you can bind the fields on the form to the attributes in the context node.
    The difference between both is that a pdfsource is used to read the complete form in XML format with all the fields on it while the data source is used to transfer data from context to the fields on the form. Note that the datasource contains a node with multiple or single attribute and a field on the form can be bound to a single attribute.
    I hope it clears all your doubts.
    Regards,
    Vaibhav Tiwari.

  • What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP?

    Hi  Experts,
    What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP? I don't find flash island control to place it in the view.
    Thanks,
    Duy

    FlashIsland is a native UI element like table or image - not a reusable component like ALV.  What release level is your system?  FlashIsland is only available on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 and higher.
    Also the FlashIsland UI element must be a root UI element. Therefore it has be created in its own view.  Right mouse click on the ROOTUIELMENT in the UI element hierarchy and choose Swap UI Element Definition.
