Invoke Workflow from Web Dynpro for Java Application
I am working on a custom web dynpro for java application and when the user clicks the submit button the SAP standard workflow (WS50000041) should be invoked. Does anyone have experience they can share with me on how to achieve this functionality? It should also be able to attach an adobe form or read data from the form and submit the data as xml.
Thanks,
Ashley
Hi Ashley,
Use following code in RFC to invoke your workflow -
DATA : w_subrc TYPE sy-subrc,
w_wi_id LIKE swwwihead-wi_id.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
task = ' WORKFLOW - WSxxxxxx '
language = sy-langu
do_commit = 'X'
IMPORTING
return_code = w_subrc
workitem_id = w_wi_id
TABLES
input_container = it_container
message_lines = lv_swr_messag
COMMIT WORK.
With this code your workflow will get start. But u have to use workflow id in next application also in which your request is getting navigated. In that application you have to take this workflow ID and have to pass again in workflow using - PortalNavigation statements.
After that this workflow will get start to publish in your TaskList (My Task) in Portal. Remeber that your all task should be maintained in workflow table by using SWFVISU transaction.
After that go to Portal and Re-Register your UWL so that your new Workflow ID will get usable in portal.
With this way you would be able to use workflow with Web Dynpro Java using UWL and Workflow.

Catch event from Web Dynpro for Java
Dear guru's,
we have a working Web Dynpro for Java. It delivers a company code that needs to be routed to a visual composer model. In the Web Dynpro we use the WDPortalEventing.fire command to trigger an event named 'ShowCompanyCode' in namespace com.sap.vc:epcm. In the visual composer, I used a 'signal in' for the same namespace and event name. However, the supplied value for the company code is not received. Both iviews (from VC and Web Dynpro) are on one page.
I have enabled the flash debug console and did some testing with a VC model that consists of two iviews on one page. Here it does work. I have found some differences in the debug output that points in a direction.
In the case of the VC iviews, I get the following string in the debug console: signalinAHAPP -<Params version="2" ><Row STR1="1000" /></Params>. This results in a correct transfer of company code value '1000'.
When getting the info from the Web Dynpro iview, I get the following string: signalinAHAO8 -1000. It seems that the web dynpro does not supply the values in a correct way. However, the same mechanism is used to supply the data to another web dynpro iview and that works fine.
Do we have to use special coding to be able to fire the event to a VC iview? Any help will be appreciated and points will be awarded!
Thanks,
ArnoA. Van de Camp,
You can create two iViews that communicate with each other on the same page, using client-side eventing, so that the output of the first iView serves as the input to the second. Eventing in the portal is based on the use of the Enterprise Portal Client Manager (EPCM), an object defined by the portal client framework to handle functions such as client eventing.
To define eventing between an iView created and existing in the portal(web dynpro iview), and an iView created in Visual Composer:
1.Check the properties of the existing portal iView and find out its EPCM event name.
2. In Storyboard, open the iView that is to be the second part of the eventing scenario and create the required port: as input or as output.
3. Double-click the newly-created port and in the Configure Element task panel, enter the portal event name in the Signal name field and the EPCM event in the EPCM event field.

Use HTTP Session to pass Object from Web Dynpro for Java to JSP page
Is it possible to get a handle on the HTTP Session object from within a Web Dynpro application? I want to place a Java object in there that can be retrieved by a JSP page.
Thanks in advance.Hi Tom Cole,
You can try this. i am not sure if this will work or not.
HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
You can also try this.
IWDRequest mm_request = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)mm_request.getProtocolRequest();
IWDRequest basically wraps the HttpServletRequest. if you are using NW04s then the getProtocolRequest() may not be available.

Catching errors in Web Dynpro for Java when thrown from RFC Raise Exception
Hello Developers,
I'm looking for information that explains how a Web Dynpro for Java application responds and processes errors that are thrown from a Raise Exception event within an RFC.
The Exceptions do not appear to be part of the Model and I can't identify how they get processed.
When rfc HRXSS_CAT_WD_RECORD raises exception PERNR_NOT_LOCKED this exception is passed back to the calling webdynpro CAT DC that displays the exception on the web page along with the log.
I would like to display a friendlier message and without the log. Any information on how to customize the handling of this error would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Terry[see here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.highlightedcontent?documenturi=%2flibrary%2fuser-interface-technology%2fwdJava%2FHowtoHandleExceptionsEffectivelyWhileWorkingwithWebDynproJava%28WDJ%29.pdf]

Best practice for Web Dynpro for Java to connect to SAP HR
What is best way to connect Web Dynpro for Java application deployed in SAP portal to connect to SAP HR ?
Is it good practice to connect to underlying SAP database ( eg oracle) directly to get the data or is there a better way ?
This below article describes to connect to external DB, however Is there any other way for SAP HR ?
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/WebDynproApplciationwithDatabaseMS+AccessHi,
There are 2 supported ways :
First is to use JCO connections to call abap RFC enabled function modules. (BAPIs for example)
Second is to call SOAP web services (HR enterprise services for example)
You should never access directly database tables...

Creating Sales Order using Web Dynpro for java
Hi SDN,
I am new to Web Dynpro for java. I have developed an application for creating a sales order using adaptive RFC Model using BAPI. It's working fine when i create a single order. I wanna create SO with more than one line item. I have used the Table UI Element to do so. But i could not able to enter the 2nd item details. Please suggest me how to pass more than one line item from the Table UI element.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
BashaHi Basha,
Do you need to display the header items and detailed items?
If the BAPI Contains Output values in R/3 side.
I mean to say if BAPI contains 4 line items.u can get thru wdjava the followinf way.
1. Create webdynpro application.
2.Import the model.
3.Create Customcontroller and model binding .
4. Write the execute method in controller.
BAPI b = new BAPI();
WdContext.node<BAPI>.bind(b);
give inputs for BAPI
b.setname(" ");
b.setno("");
wdContext.currentBAPI().modelObejet().execute();
wdContext.node<output>.invalidate(); in try catch
5. create view or when u give the dynpro application its
in the add custom to view and drag BAPI custom to view .
6.Crete UI for ur table thru insertTemplate table directly mapp the output values.
7. deploy and run
U can get the out line items .
Or any thing else post ur requirement.
Thanks

Notification Service in Web Dynpro for Java?
Hello Experts,
I'm new on the topic "web dynpro for java" and have a question about a real-time-notification of web dynpro clients.
In web dynpro for abap ther is apparently a new solution called "Notification Service" (since NW 7.0 Ehp2).
Details: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/f0802995-3433-2c10-2787-d7db51352891&overridelayout=true
But I found no hints how to solve the problem of a real-time notification in web dynpro for java.
Requirements for short: The server can trigger a refresh in one or more web dynpro clients.
Requirements a liitle more extended:
1. A web dynpro is running in a browser and shows data it gets from a DataBase table1
2. Now a function module1 is started by an event and changes the data in table1 on the server side, the web dynpro does not know about this event or the changes made by external components.
3. These changed data should be visible immediately in the running web dynpro after the event occurd --> trigger a refresh of the web dynpro from the function module1?
All I actually know is that: The web dynpro can update its context with the new data from table1 after a refresh of the gui (wddomodifiyview). Using a timed trigger I can get new data after x seconds (same way --> context update and gui refresh). Is there another way to refresh the web dynpro (that noticed requirements of #3) ?
Regards,
Anja HormannI recommend that you create another Web Dynpro application with this Timer to execute an RFC. This application would be in a Web Dynpro iView hidden from your SAP EP and shoot an event that would be captured by another application.
However I would take great care with this type of application.
And to answer your question at the moment, to my knowledge, there is no solution for this kind of integration between the ABAP and JAVA.

In Web DYnpro for java there is any Configuration controller?
Hi,
Experts,
I am having a confusion that is there any "Configuration Controller" present in Web dynpro for java.Where as i know that it is present in Web dynpro for abap could u please pass some idea on it.And how can identify the type of component in metadata files.
Thanks in advance,
Shabeer Ahmed.Hi,
you have Configuration Controller that we can call it as CC in Webdynpro application which developed using FPM that is Floor Plan Manager, which is used as part of developing the ESS and MSS business package.
The configuration Component is used to difine all the View Navigations and Road Map steps and define prespectives, and Vac's, Events for navigation from one view to another view.
go through this link u came to know abt FPM

How to develop Web Dynpro for Java and run it locally
I want to learn Web Dynpro for Java but still struggling with the running it locally in my PC. What software do I need to install in my own PC in order to do that? I have NWDS in place and I can write the code and compile it already. Thanks!
Hi Anthony,
You need to have SAP Web Application server (SAP WAS) to run all the webdynpro applications. WAS can be installed either on your local system or on a server which can act as a central server.
You can download WAS from SDN, which is a trial version. Check this link.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
For checking the minimul system requirments for installing WAS please check the PAM (Product Availability Matrix).
I hope this solves you issue. Please revert back in case you need any further information on this.
Thanks and Regards

I want to design an application like a simple forum which maybe has many replies.So if i use
the UI technology "web dynpro for java", i will to create UI elements dynamically.How can i control this
dynamical UI elements to keep layout ?Hi,
yes you can do that....
for exaple if you observe SDN...
you can imagine like....
A big Transparent Container(TC)....
Inside that number of other TCs(depending upon the question nd its replies...)....
In side each TC, again around 9 UIElements....
one for menioning what is the question/reply?
other for your description of question/reply...
other for your name,
displaing your fourm point... etc...
So it will be
for(loop till your (Question+No of replies))
Create Transparent Container....
Add Childs to the Container...
Decide your layout....
In case if you want to know how to create UIElements dynamically....

hello all,
i am new to web dynpro for java.i have already done an application
"Creating a Web Dynpro Application Accessing ABAP Functions" this application
have good document on sdn.
this application is working fine .
Now i got an requiremnt for creating a purchase order in web dynpro for java.
in normal report when i call the bapi the parameter are the header, headerx,item, itemx is an internal table.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
EXPORTING
POHEADER = HEADER
POHEADERX = HEADERX
POADDRVENDOR =
TESTRUN =
IMPORTING
EXPPURCHASEORDER =
EXPHEADER =
EXPPOEXPIMPHEADER =
TABLES
RETURN = RETURN
POITEM = ITEM
POITEMX = ITEMX.
i just want to know how can i fill these internal table in web dynpro
for java to create an application accessing "Bapi_po_create" .
ThanksHi Gopal,
I'm not sure what is your issue, it seems you're not really understanding how the Model structure works in WDP.
I'll assume few things here, like you know how to Import the Model into the WDP, and you know a little bit about what Java Classes will represent this Model in the Project.
Try these steps:
1. Import your Model into the Project;
2. Open your Component Modeler, create a Data Link between your Model / Component (Or Custom Controller, as you prefer)
- You can also use the "Apply Template -> Service Controler"
3. Map the Input of your Model as the Main Node, check the Input Tables (you prob. will have two, POITEM = ITEM - POITEMX = ITEMX)
4. Also, check the Return box, since this is BAPI return (You can use to display Backend messages)
Now you have the Model mapped into your Controller, you need to develop the Java function to execute it.
1. Create a new Input class, like
BAPI_PO_CREATE1_Input purchaseOrderCreateInput = new BAPI_PO_CREATE1_Input();
2. Bind your Input Node, in the Controller, with your Input Class;
wdContext.nodeBAPI_PO_CREATE1().bind(purchaseOrderCreateInput);
3. Set any Import parameters you need:
purchaseOrderCreateInput.setEXPPURCHASEORDER(XXXX);
4. To Add references to the Table, you will perform something like:
First, you need to know what "Structure" you need to add (POItem Structure) - You have a Java class that represents that Structure..
POITEM_Element poItemElement = new POITEM_Element();
poItemElement.setPROPERTY(); /// Set your Properties
purchaseOrderCreateInput.getPOITEM().add(poItemElement);
5. Execute your Input,
purchaseOrderCreateInput .execute();
Hope it helps,
Regards,

Issues with portal integration of Web dynpro for ABAP application
Hi,
I have the following issues when i integrate a Web Dynpro for ABAP application with portal.
1. the iview does not contain some images, such as table scroll button images, maximize and close buttons of popups etc.
2. the iview loads properly, but there is an error in the status bar that says "Access denied"
3. is it possible to do absolute navigation from
role1->folder1->iview1 to role1->folder2->iview2?
when i fire this navigation from the webdynpro
application, the navigation does not happen in the
portal.

I think you are overestimating the power of the SCM_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module. By supplying a URL as the value of the input text, it isn't going to magically go read the content from the remote location and convert that to a binary string. It is going to take whatever value you supply in th importing TEXT parameter convert that to binary. In other words it is literally converting the string http://xxx/test.xls to binary. You will need some other mechanism to read the content from the remote location into ABAP memory before you can process it. You will need to use the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class or call some sort of web service to retrive the content. -

Use a Transparaent container (TCO) inside it use the tabstrip and make it as matrixheader as per rootUI.
You can also set the layout for TCO as matrix and do the necessary changes.

Hardware requirement for Web Dynpro for JAVA
Hi Friends,
I am a starter in Web Dynpro for JAVA and about to develop web dynpro application in JAVA.Can anyone please guide me on the hardware requirement for this application of SAP?
Presently I have ECC 5.0 installed in 1 GB RAM using 160 GB harddisk.
Regards
Ashish.Hi Ashish,
If you want to install NWDS only then as said 1g.b is sufficient.
But if it's Personal System then you have to install Portal also( WAS).
You will require minimum of 2g.b of RAM and 120g.b of hard disk.
