SAP uses Webdynpro to build portal content, which later will be configuted as an Iview in the enterprise portal. Webdynpro comes with Java and ABAP flavors. Both have in general the same functionality,the decision for one of the two flavors shall be based on organizational and business circumstances, but not on functionality.
If you are good in ABAP go with ABAP Webdynpro, if you are good in JAVA, go with JAVA Webdynpro. But you will get good opportunities in JAVA Webdynpro compare to ABAP Webdynpro.
Thanks,
Chenna.

How to integrate WebDynpro for ABAP application with SAPEnterprisePortal7.0

Hi WebDynpro for ABAP Experts,
We developed an WebDynpro for ABAP application on R/3, and now we are planning to show this as an iview on SAP Portal EP7.0 (SAP j2EE Engine--Java stack). is it possible to integrate this application with portal?
If so can you proviode me the way how can we achieve this?
ADV Thanks
Regards
Phani

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your response.
I already created the system object R/3 Backend.
Actually some WebDynpro java applications/iViews are currently running on Portal. and the developers developed these in NWDS and deployed the .sca files on the Portal server and we created Webdynpro for java iViews.
but now the requirement is creation of webDynpro for ABAP views.
The developers developed WebDynpro for ABAP on the R/3 system. So what are the parameter values we need to give at teh time of creation of WebDynpro for ABAP iview like the Namespace, Application name etc which are mandatory values and how the Portal server detects the application, this means no need to deploy the application on the Portal server?
Shall we need to maintain any JCo Destinations or not?
Pl share your ideas.
ADV Thanks

Phani

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

Darshna.

How to access(connect) BI Data in webdynpro for java applications

Hi ,
is there any way to access and display the BI data in portal using webdynpro for java applications like we did in Visual composer.
if not how to integrate the BI data in webdynpro applications ?
Regards,
Govindu

Hi,
Yes there are ways to do it. But may your scenario and the scenario for which I have done may differ.
You can use openhub to get the data in a flat file and then read it into weddynpro through a java service OR
You can use DBlink(which i have done).
Please refer the link below:
[Link|Data from BW to Oracle.;
This I have done in NW04s. Not sure whether a better solution is available in the newer release.
Hope it helps.

Hi Suresh,
You can have the MDM JAVA API javadocs from the link
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06P2/index.html
There you can see a package named com.sap.mdm.examples.The classes in it contains some examples using which you can start understanding the code.
You need to have MDM JAR files for it. And these JAR files to be used at build time can be added to the project thru :-
Right click on project-> properties->Java Build Path - > Add external JARs
At run time you can add them the reference in
Right click on project-> properties->web dynpro references->library reference.

How can I read cookies in WebDynPro for Java

Hi,
in WebDynPro for Java I found a possibility to to get a "request-object" like the standard "HttpServletRequest-object"
IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
debugEnabled = (request.getParameter("Debug") != null);
With this request-object I can read request-prameters but I couldn't find a possibility to get cookies from the request.
There is no method like the "getCookies().method" in the HTTPServletRequest-Interface:-((
Has anybody an idea, how I can read cookies in WebDynPro for Java ?
Regards
Steffen

Hi,
This is the latest update I could look for regarding cookies and webdynpro.
Panic - WebContextAdapter is depracted - no more cookies now?

2. use this DC in WD component , now when ever user writes , iinvolve this API's method to check.
(Its a workaround you have to to the R & D).

Problems between Xcelsius and WebDynpro for Java

How should I do to show Xcelsius in WebDynpro for Java?
How should I transport data between Xcelsius and WebDynpro?
How should I control WebDynpro with Xcelsius?For example,firing plugs in Xcelsius like in WebDynpro to change one view to another.
How should I do to execute a Java method in Xcelsius?For example,scheduling a job on clicking a button in Xcelsius.
Besides these,I also want to know the same problems between other BOE contents and WebDynpro for Java.
Regards,
Abe

Hi Pradeep:
Well that purely depends on the business application (project) your client is proposing. Following are very few factors which will drive for creating web-based applications:
VC: it's a UI modeling tool (non-programming) for creating rapid creation of web-based applications.
WD: its a powered by Java and ABAP with which you can create robust business applications.
If your client is very choosy about rapid application development, reporting, rich user interface, to reduce TCO then VC is the choice. Or if the project contains typical integration with SAP and non-SAP systems, complex business logic development, integration with WCM systems...etc then WDJ is the option.
If youve some sort of custom development with facilitating the Development Infrastructure (NWDI) then WDJ is the only option I could say.
We hope with NW CE 7.1.1(referred by Priyanka Singh) tighter integration between these TWO tools may over come the ambiguity of using them.
Tnx,
MS
