Redefine Interface Method

Hi, I am using a BI Interface "IF_RSCNV_EXIT" and I am adding code to the "Exit" Method.
Do I need to redefine this method? The reason I ask is because the redefine icon is greyed out even though I am in edit mode.
Thanks!

Hello Kenneth
Interface methods are always empty. You can implement them only once within a hierarchy of classes using this interface. Thus, you cannot redefine it.

Redefine a method

Hi All,
I am working on CRM 5.0 version. Can some one tell me the procedure as to how to redefine a method. I would want to redefine a method to add my custom functionality. I was searching for "Redefine" button but i dont get to see it. Can some one help?
Thanks.

Hi There,
The redefine button is in the class builder under the methods tab and second from the right, it is a circle thing with a tool stuck to it. If there is no such button, you are likely looking at an interface, which has no implementation to redefine. If the button is greyed, you need to be in change mode.
I'm assuming this is for the IC Webclient am I right? If so, be sure you are using the proper technique for enhancing the view - as outlined in the CRM 5.0 IC Web Client Consultant's Cookbook. It is not good practice to redefine the method of an SAP class if you can avoid it. Best is to derive a class from the SAP class, and then redefine the method in the derived class.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,

How do I redefine a Method of a Final Class?

Hi,
Is it possible to redefine a method of a final class and if so, can someone please give me a brief example of that technique?
Thank you very much!
Andy

Hi,
Please find the example.
Program Description :      Interface I1 contains two methods : M1 and M2.
I1 is included and incorporated in class : C1 with M2 as a final method. Both the methods are implemented in class C1.
Class C2 is a subclass of class C1. It redefines method : I1M1 and re-implements it, but it does not do that for I1M2 as that is declared as final method.
In the START-OF-SELECTION block, object OREF1 is created from class C1 and OREF2 from class C2 and both the methods M1 and M2 are called using both the objects.
Example:
report ytest .
interface i1 .
methods : m1 ,
            m2 .
endinterface.
class c1 definition.
public section.
   interfaces : I1 final methods m2 .
endclass.
class c1 implementation.
method i1~m1.
   write:/5 'I am m1 in c1'.
endmethod.
method i1~m2.
   write:/5 'I am m2 in c1'.
endmethod.
endclass.
class c2 definition inheriting from c1.
public section.
   methods : i1~m1 redefinition .
endclass.
class c2 implementation.
method : i1~m1.
   write:/5 'I am m1 in c2'.
endmethod.
endclass.
start-of-selection.
data : oref1 type ref to c1,
         oref2 type ref to c2 .
   create object : oref1 , oref2.
   call method : oref1->i1~m1 , u201C Output : I am m1 in c1
                  oref2->i1~m1 , u201C Output : I am m1 in c2
                  oref1->i1~m2 , u201C Output : I am m2 in c1
                  oref2->i1~m2 . u201C Output : I am m2 in c1
Output :      I am m1 in c1
I am m1 in c2
I am m2 in c1
I am m2 in c1
Thanks,

Redefine Static Methods in ABAP OO

Hello,
I want to redefine an public static method and returns always an error.
Okay, I already solved the problem with an workaround, but I still don't understand, why it is not possible to redefine static methods in ABAP OO.
If someone can give me an plausible reason, so I don't have do die stupid. G
Thanks for help!
Matthias

It is built into the language that way. HEre is a link that may or may not give you an answer.

Redefine static method?

It seems that I cannot redefine a static method in a subclass in ABAP OO, right?
Is there a reason for that? Is this like this in other languages as well?

That's true. You cannot redefine static methods in ABAP OO.
I can add that a class that defines a public or protected static attribute shares this
attribute with all its subclasses.
Overriding static methods is possible for example in Java.
This simple piece of code illustrates this:
public class Super {
    public static String getNum(){
        return "I'm super";
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         System.out.println("Super: " + Super.getNum());
         System.out.println("Sub: " + Sub.getNum());
public class Sub extends Super{
    public static String getNum(){
        return "I'm not";
The output is:
Super: I'm super
Sub: I'm not
When overriding methods in Java you must remember that an instance method cannot override a static method, and a static method cannot hide an instance method.
In C# a static member can't be marked as 'override', 'virtual' or 'abstract'. But it it is possible to hide a base class static method in a sub-class by using the keyword 'new':
public class Super
public static void myMethod()
public class Sub: Super
public new static void myMethod()

Access specifiers for interface methods

When we implement the interface ,we have to specify the implementing method access specifier to be "PUBLIC" ,but not "PROTECTED" or "PRIVATE".
Compiler is giving an error -- attempting to assign weaker access privileges ,when we specify protected.
what is the internal reason for this?Why we shouldnt make the access weaker in the implementing class.
Can any one help me on this.Your help is highly appreciated.

When we implement the interface ,we have to specify
the implementing method access specifier to be
"PUBLIC" ,but not "PROTECTED" or "PRIVATE".
Compiler is giving an error -- attempting to assign
weaker access privileges ,when we specify protected.
what is the internal reason for this?There is absolutely no point in having a private interface method. The interface represents a visible abstraction and private methods are never visible so it is a contradiction in terms.
An interface is intended to represent an abstraction that a user (software) uses. Protected via child/parent represents a usage that is restricted to a child from a parent. The child can already see the parent so there is no point in having an abstraction for the child. And it would probably be unwise to limit a child by such an abstraction.
Protected via the package and interfaces is more contentious as to why it is not allowed. There are those that argue that this should be allowed so that a package can use interfaces but restrict them to the package. To me this seems like a minor point given that most interfaces will probably represent an abstraction to other packages and not within a single package. This applies specifically to default access as well.

Interface Method

Hi experts,
I have the following scenario:
Component A opens, in a modal window, the component B.
When I do something in B, it's closed and I return to A.
There, I need read data from B (which is closed at the moment), to do something in A.
Anybody knows how can I do it?
I tried with external context mapping, but It doesn't work...
Could it be done with interface methods?
Thanks in advance!
Lucas

Hi Padmam,
Thank you for your reply too, but I'm having problems with your solution.
I have created an interface Node in Component A, and I have created the mapping in the component usages of the component B.
When I run component A, it gives me an error. I supose that it is rise by this Interface Node.
This error is solved when I check out the property "Input Element (Ext)" of Interface Node, but without this property, I can't do the External Mapping...
Could you correct me if I'm wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Question when i am in web dynpro interface method trying to find code

Hello guys,
I am in an event handler and i see this logic wd_this->mo_dodm_srchbidder_c->add_selected_bidder(). When i double click on the add selected bidder it takes me to the method inside interface /sapsrm/IF_CLL_DODM_BIDDER. So when i double click on the method it takes me nowhere.
My question is what do i have to do or where do i go to see the code for add_selected_bidder? thank you.

I think, you have visited to the definition of the interface method and not the implementation of the method.
You have instantiated the wd_this->mo_dodm_srchbidder_c some where, may be in the wd domodifyview. Find that out where the implementation happens.
I believe when you double click the method in editor ask for to go to definition or implementation.

Overriding Interface methods via JNI

Hello,
How we can override Interface methods via JNI?
For example:
At HelloWorldSwing example:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/start/HelloWorldSwingProject/src/start/HelloWorldSwing.java
I've written anonymous Interface as:
import javax.swing.*;
public class HelloWorldSwing1 {
     * Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety,
     * this method should be invoked from the
     * event-dispatching thread.
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Add the ubiquitous "Hello World" label.
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    static Runnable runnableObject = new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
              createAndShowGUI();
   public static void main(String[] args) {
         //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(runnableObject);
}via JNI functions(http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/jni/spec/functions.html) we cannot override Runnable Interface's run method? Can we?
Only:
RunnableClass's value isn't null with given example at below. FindClass finds the Runnable Interface.
jclass RunnableClass;
RunnableClass = (*env)->FindClass(env,"java/lang/Runnable");
if( RunnableClass == NULL ) {
    printf("can't find class Runnable\n");
    exit (-1);
}But How can we override Runnable class's run method?
Thanks in Advance

The only way you can override a method in Java is by defining a class that does so, either statically or as an anonymous inner class. You can't do either of those things in JNI. Ergo you cannot do what you are asking about.

Accessing an app.module's client interface methods in other app module

Hi all,
We are developing an application with number of projects (one for each module). We have got a common project with an application module, entity and view objects which are common for the entire application. For reusability, this common project is shared in session scope since most of them are of static nature.
In the shared application module's implementation class, a common method has been included that will be used for data filtering by constructing/appending where clauses in a particular application scoped view object. This method has been exposed as client interface method so that other projects can make use of it. The common project is compiled as an ADF Library jar for accessing it in other projects.
For accessing the exposed client interface method, from the view controller layer, we can include its reference in the page definition file and can execute the method from a managed bean by finding the operation binding from the page definition. But, in case if we wish to access the method in another model project, we could not do so.
Now, my questions are:
1. Is it the correct location(Shared App Mod. Impl) for including the logic to filter the data?
2. Is it possible to access the app. module impl method in another project's impl classes (Let it be entityImpl or viewObjectImpl or viewRowImpl or AppModImpl) ?
3. If it is possible, how it has to be done?
Thanks and regards,

Interface method in enhancement mode

Hello Experts,
I need to enhance a standard web dynpro component. I have created a new method in the component controller using enhancement implementation. This method has to be called from another component. Therefore I need to make this as an interface method. But in enhancement mode I do not see an option to make this method as an interface mathod. Kindly let me know if this is poosible.
Thanks,
Pooja

Class/Interface/Methods

Hi All,
I'm trying to understand the concept behind abap class/interface/methods.
1. Is it mandatory to have an interface in every class?
2. Once a class is created is it right to define methods as static and public and use them without reference to the interface?
Any help appreciated.
Meghna

hi meghna,
interfaces in ABAP Objects play the same role as classes. Just like classes, interfaces are object types that reside in the namespace of all types. While a class describes all aspects of a class, an interface only describes a partial aspect
The syntax for declaring a local interface is:
INTERFACE intf.
   DATA ...
   CLASS-DATA ...
   METHODS ...
   CLASS-METHODS ...
ENDINTERFACE.
Basically, the declaration of an interface corresponds to the declaration part of a class, where instead of CLASSu2014ENDCLASS, you simply use INTERFACEu2014ENDINTERFACE. Interfaces can contain exactly the same components as classes. Unlike classes, however, interfaces don't need to be divided into different visibility sections because interface components are always integrated in the public visibility section of classes.
i dont want to confuse you .
please go to the below link to know more about... interface and classes.

Add an interface Method/Event via enhancement??

Hi expert.
I want to pass additional data between two standard webdynpro components. As for as I know, I can use infterface method/event in custom webdynpro component and click check box 'Interface' of method/event.
However I can add new method/event in standard webdynpro via enhancement, the check box 'Interface' is dispear.
So is it possibe to add an interface method/event via enhancement? or pass additional data between standard webdynpro component?

Hi,
First you need to understood the standard webdynpro component which you are looking for.
If the standard component is providing interface methods/events then you can call from your custom webdynpro component re-using the standard component in your custom component.
If you provide mroe information about which standard component and which event/method you are looking for, so that I will provide more info.
Best of luck..
