Sequence of events and handlers in webdynpro

Question

Hi,
I am confused with the sequence of events triggered in webdynpro.
What is the sequence of the events like WDDOINIT of window, view, Inbound plug handlers etc. I am more looking into the details like for example
I have a window that opens a view. The sequence of events I expected would be
1) WDDOINIT of Window
2) Handle inbound plug for window
3) WDDOINIT of View
4) Handle inbound plug for view
Much to my amazement I found that the sequence is
1) WDDOINIT of Window
2) WDDOINIT of View
3) Handle inbound plug for window
The inbound plug of view is not called at all.
So is there an exhaustive reference that explains these things. Most of the references I found explain only about WDBEFOREACTION, WDMODIFYVIEW etc. But not about WDDOINIT or WDDOEXIT.
Any pointers in this regard will be great.
Thanks,
Anand

Answer 1

A great way to learn WDA and build a simple WDA at the same time.
Define a simple CONTEXT. with 2 attributes
     CONTROLLER_NAME string
     EVENT string.
On a view declare a table that shows this table.
IN EVERY STANDARD METHOD
add an entry to the table so the table grows:
      context_node->bind_table NEW_ITEMS  ( the new row in this table
                                             SET_INITIAL_ELEMENTS =  true
Add a button that calls a dummy action
Add a button that exits.
Even navigate  to and from a view.
you will learn the phase model in a flash.
About 15 20 mins  work.
worth it.  Thats how I learnt it.
