Sequencing Problem in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Web Dynpro (ABAP) Guru's,
Can anyone tell me how to read a parameter from the WDA url in my view? The situation is like this: My WDA is being rendered in the Portal EP 6.0 as an iView. When my WDA is called the portal also appends in the URL the plant number. I want to grab that plant number and use it in my view to show some default data.
As per other weblogs/forum posts I defined a parameter "PLANT_NO" in the "Default" startup plug of my Main window. I'm using the Get_Data method to read this parameter in the plug. I'm able to read the URL parameter here and so far it is good. Read below for the problem..
If I understand the order of operations correctly, doesn't the views get created, then the default plug code is run, then the views are placed on the window and then shown to the user. Since my views are created before my default plug is run I DO NOT get the URL parameter value in the WDDOINIT of my view. When I debug the application, the WDDOINIT of the embedded view gets called before the Default startup plug. Am I missing something here?
If someone can tell how to read the URL parameter in the WDDOINIT (instead of Default Startup) of the view I could default in the data I want to display. OR any other suggestions to get past this problem would be appreciated.
Does this make any sense and does anybody have an idea of where I could find some info about how to do this?
Thanks much for your help. Points will be awarded.

Thanks Klaus for the response.
I don't want to read the parameter from the default plug, but need to access the URL parameter and display default data in my view. Let me explain the scenario:
My Web dynpro application is called from the Portal. The Plant number is passed in the URL as:
http://...../sap/bc/../../<Web Dynpro Application name>?PLANT_NO=0012
I want to show Material Stock values in the view for Plant "0012". To access this value I've defined a parameter with same name (PLANT_NO) in the default startup plug of my main window. I get access to the URL parameter through this plug parameter.
I have only ONE view embedded in this window where the Stock values are selected from table MARD for the specified plant. I want to get the plant value from URL in my WDDOINIT method to make this selection from database. I'm then binding the results to the view table UI element. My problem is that the URL parameter is read in the Default plug, but the data selection and view binding happens before in the WDDOINIT method where I don't know the plant.
Again, I don't want to read the plug parameter, but I want to get the URL parameter (PLANT_NO) and then render the view based on the data selected for this parameter. Please let me know how this can be achieved by reading the URL parameter in WDDOINIT method (Constructor) so that it can be used subsequently in the application.
Thanks for your help and looking for a resolution.....

Problem in web dynpro ABAP program

There are 2 input fields on first view carrid, connid and one "GO" Button
1) "FLIGHTINFO" is the node under context of first view
2) " FLIGHTTAB " is a node under context of component controller having cardinality " 0..n " ,Dictionary structure "SFLIGHT" (i have selected only these many attributes " carrid, connid, fldate, planetype, seatsmax and seatsocc " )
3) I have created Method "FLIGHTTAB_FILL" in component controller to fill context node FLIGHTTAB
Insert the source code for doing the following:
-     Navigate to context node FLIGHTINFO
-     Get element at lead selection for context node FLIGHTINFO
-     Get CARRID and CONNID
-     Fill an internal table with all datasets from database table SFLIGHT, who meet the constraints for CARRID and CONNID.
-     Navigate to context node FLIGHTTAB
-     Bind the internal table(having all standard fields of sflight ) to the context node FLIGHTTAB ( having those 6 attributs).
4) On action GO ->Implement the invocation of Method " FLIGHTTAB_FILL".
5) I have mapped node FLIGHTTAB to context of OUTPUTVIEW. Display table on view OUTPUT_VIEW (for this i hav used code wizard).
Problem: after entering values of connid & carrid I m getting proper entries in internal table. but output view is not at all trigger (although i have created plugs). Is it necessary that while binding internal table with context node FLIGHTTAB should have same no of fields (i.e. in this case 6 )?
I am a fresher, My concept of bindings and cardinality are not so clear so can anybody help me out?
Thanx in advance for replying.

Hi johnright ,
    No i dont think it is necessary that while binding internal table with context node should have same no of fields as the internal table . You might get some improper values in the corresponding fiels but it will not lead to any error.
In your OUTPUTVIEW once you created the table UI element in layout and you bind it to FLIGHTTAB node you dont have to use any code wizard method to display the values. If the node contains values it will display automatically. (in your case you are filling it in step #).
Check :-
1. In your On action GO after filling the table you are firing the out bound plug :-
    WD_THIS->FIRE_INITIAL_OUT_PLG(
2.All outbound plug and inbound plug are link properly and every thing is ACTIVATED.
If still unable to find the error try to debug method wise and find where the error occurs and reply to us.
Binding:-
In web dynpro ABAP you will not able to get any value of any variable outside of any method. Here we use context node which is referrence that we create reference to any particular structure we required. Now to hold the values you need to bind
the values of your internal table to the context node.
If the node is in view then its values are visible to all the local method of the view.
If the node is in component controller then the you bind a value to the node from one view and you can get it in another view.
Remember binding and mapping are not same.
Mapping is done between node like inthe second scenario i have explained you need to create a node in view controller and then you need to map it to the corresponding view of component controller to send values across view.
cardinality:-
Each node contains data fields that represent one of the following:
    An individual instance of an object type
    A table of instances.
This property of a node is known as its cardinality of table of instances.
If you need table instance :- 0..n or 1...n
   In case of 1...n one default value is created. generally we use this as mainly we need to work with table.
In case you need a individual instance of a object or like you want value like a structure only :- 0...1 or 1....1.

Problem with Web Dynpro ABAP Adobe form Access via 'NULL' object reference

Hi All!
I'm a beginner of Adobe form.
problem 1:
I tried to display data in Adobe interactive form according to the tutorial :https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/7783. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
I checked every step, but unfortunately it reported an error: Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible. I found that the error happens when trying to get element of the context node.
I also have such problem when I was studying the tutorial https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/CallAdobeFormthroughABAPWebDynpro.
problem 2:
I can't input any data in input box or click any button even if I selected the property 'enabled' of the interactive form while my colleague can do it on his computer. Does it means that there are some thing wrong with my adobe reader?
Hope anyone could save me,

Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,

Problems creating new Web Dynpro ABAP application

All,
I am following this tutorial to create my first Web Dynpro ABAP application
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/fc/501b42b5815133e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
In this tutorial I was asked to create a component as Local object.
But after giving the name of the component, I get an alert saying
"Object can only be created in SAP Package"
When I confirm this, I was shown a "Create Object Directory entry" dialog box which asks for attributes like Package.
And this box has Local Object button, when clicked I get the message "Test Objects cannot be created in foreign namespaces".
I found some other article through Google
http://www.octavia.de/fileadmin/octavia_files/content_bilder/Hauptnavigation/SAP_NetWeaver/WebDynpro/Web_Dynpro_Part_I.pdf
According to this, I tried to give $TMP as Package. But still have the same error
"Test Objects cannot be created in foreign namespaces"
Where am I and what should I do to create a new project?
Thanks.

Thanks Abinav.
My problem is with naming convention only. Component name starting with Z solved my problem.

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

Problem with image loading in flex (with web dynpro ABAP integration)

Hi,
I am working with integration of flex and web dynpro abap. I am facing unusal problem while loading the images. I have the images in the MIME folder of web dynpro application. Since my swf file and all the images that I want to use are in the same folder(MIME), I am accessing them giving just the image name as source for the image in flex.
By this method I get the images sometimes, but not everytime. So could anyone suggest me alternative method.
Regards
Prashant Chauhan
Edited by: Prashant8809 on Jul 17, 2011 11:56 AM

Hello Prashant,
you need to mention the full path as source for the image in flex.
ex. if your WD application name is Z_TEMP and image file name in mime folder is 'image.jpg' then you need mention the source in flex as
http://servername:50001/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/Z_TEMP/image.jpg
Hope this solves your problem.

Web Dynpro ABAP Workflow Attachment Problem in UWL

Hi,
I am writing a custom application.
A workflow is supposed to start by a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
The user can attach files to it.
A superior is supposed to review the files and either approve or reject the request.
I tried the following in Web Ddynpro ABAP:
CALL FUNCTION 'EWW_WORKFLOW_START'
    EXPORTING
      X_TASK                       = 'WS90000074'
    IMPORTING
      Y_WORKFLOW_ID       = lv_WF_ID
    TABLES
      X_CONTAINER               = lv_IT_CONTAINER
    EXCEPTIONS
then followed by:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
EXPORTING
    WORKITEM_ID                 = lv_wf_id
    ATT_HEADER                   = lv_swr_att_header
    ATT_BIN                           = Item_FILENAMEATTACHED
    DOCUMENT_OWNER       = SY-UNAME
    LANGUAGE                     = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
    ATT_ID                              = lv_swr_att_id
The Workflow has onlay one user decision step and one notification Step.
In the user decision step, there is a binding from ATTACHOBJECTS to the task.
But, in the log, you can see the attachment in the Workflow Container of the workflow instance, but you don't see it in the task (neither Inbox nor UWL)
Anyone has a suggestion?

You need to update all task items one by one with the attachment - you need to identify all tasks and attach it to each one

Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro ABAP Data Binding problem

I have downloaded the NetWeaver 7.1 Trial (includes Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro ABAP). I try to create a very simple FlashIslands component running within the Web Dynpro Application, everything looks good. However, all binding to the Flex component is not working. Does anyone know why?
Since it's trial version, I login as BCUSER into NSP system. When I load up the build-in sample, such as Chart Demo, the binding to Flex seems working. I suspect if it has anything to do with package? I could only create my Web Dynpro under the $TMP package, as all the build-in sample are defined in SWDP_DEMO.
Please help.
Alan

Is there a way to get Web Dynpro ABAP available in a ECC 5 - NW2004 env?

We will start developing an offline Adobe interactive form with email functionality for ECC 5 on very short terms. We have to decide asap what client/server configuration we will use for this new functionality. We will also develop an online interactive form and an offline form with upload/download functionality for ECC 5. We will have to setup a client/server configuration that supports all 3 scenario's.
The main reason we would like to have NW2004S available for ECC 5 is because we would like to develop the forms in Web Dynpro ABAP instead of Java. Guided Procedures is a "nice to have" too, but not really important at this moment.
At this moment we think we have 3 options:
1. Investigate if we can make an Adobe solution in WDA for ECC 5 with our current setup
2. Upgrade ECC 5 - NW 2004 -> NW 2004S to get WDA functionality available
3. Install ADS for NW 2004 to be able to create Adobe solutions in ECC 5, then we will have to develop in WDJ
1. We have the following configuration up and running: NW2004S - CRM 5 and ADS installed: both Java and ABAP stack work properly. We are wondering if we could develop an Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP in CRM 5 using BAPI's to retrieve the data from ECC 5 and put it on the form for display or update purposes. Also we have questions about the email functionality: do forms have to be send by email via a mailserver from ECC 5 via CRM 5 and back or can this be done directly from and to ECC 5 or is it not possible at all? Also we don't know if we can develop an online interactive form for ECC 5 via CRM 5. The current setup is not a real option for us right now as we see far too many uncertainties. Does somebody can give us some answers on the possibilities we are looking for?
2. My assumption is that upgrading ECC5 to ECC6 can be compared with upgrading 46C to ECC5. If my assumption is correct, this would mean an upgrade project with a 6 months leadtime within our company. If my assumption is wrong, please let me know. This upgrade will happen some day, but it has not been planned for 2007. So unfortunately, for us this is not an option at the moment because we cannot wait that long. I was hoping an upgrade of NW2004 -> NW2004s was not that time consuming but I guess this can be compared with a SAP upgrade project like 46C -> ECC 5.
3. Installing Adobe Document Services for NW2004 is not our preferred solution but we think it is the safest/easiest solution at this moment to get started with Adobe interactive forms for ECC 5 on short terms. We will have to develop in Web Dynpro for Java, so be it.
WDA is not a must but if we can find a client/server setup which gives us the possibility to build in WDA for ECC 5 functionality, that would be great. That's why I dropped the question on SDN. I want to be sure we choose the best option possible at this moment for us.
kind regards
Angelique

Yesterday I got new information through SDN which sounds very interesting:
There are technical repository integration points between ECC and the underlying SAP NetWeaver release. To get Web Dynpro for ABAP, you could install a stand-alone SAP NetWeaver 2004s system (without ERP) side-by-side.
Somebody else wrote: we set up a 3-system landscape of NW04s and have configured single sign on and trusted RFC's so that users can hit the webdynpro pages via the portal, and those systems make the necessary queries to the backend systems via RFC.
Does somebody know if this stand-alone system could be a proper solution for our situation? Does somebody foresee any problems related to Adobe LiveCycleDesigner or ADS?

Shooping cart creation in SRM 7.0 using web dynpro ABAP classes.

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to SRM 7.0 from SRM 4.0. We are using customized portal application for the creation of the shopping cart.I am planning to create custom FM which will use the standard Web dynpro ABAP classes to create the shopping cart.
Could you please guide with the classes that are need to be implemented and the sequence of the classes used in the shopping cart creation.
I think these are the classes that are used in the standard web dynpro ABAP component.
CL_FPM_EVENT ->                  Creates an instance of this class based on an event ID.
CL_BADI_FLT_DATA_TRANS_AND_DB -> Data Handling: Transport and Database.
CL_EXITHANDLER ->               Class for Ext. Services Within Framework of Exit Technique.
CL_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI ->     BAdI Class CL_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
CL_BBP_OBJECTS_ACCESS ->         Access Functions for Object Types.
/SAPSRM/CL_PDO_BO_SC ->          Shopping Cart BO.
Your expert comments will be appreciated...

SRM 7.0 Web Dynpro ABAP Customization

Hi ,
Upgrading from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 and would require customization at the Web Dynpro ABAP Component for RFx.
I need to put a pop-up screen when the Buyer clicks on the "AWARD" button on the Bid Screen. Now I am not able to find the award action/event at the Web Dynpro component level where I have to put the pop-up code and other related logic. I also tried getting into the SPRO and find the class which may contain the AWARD event. Please let me know the solution to this problem. Thank you.
Manoj

Hi Akash,
Thanks for the reply. Can you please guide me through how to go about the enhancement, keeping the original functionality of the Award Button intact. And I understand coding in method of interface is not possible.

Web Dynpro ABAP Stylesheet - Portal Integration

We have a Web Dynpro ABAP being displayed through a Portal iView. The Portal server and the Web Dynpro ABAP server are separate. Our problem is in getting the Web Dynpro ABAP to use the stylesheet of the Portal.
We can make this work by forcing an external stylesheet (via application parameters, global Dynpro settings, or passed on the end of the URL), but we have to hard-code the full URI of the Portal stylesheet. This would be very hard to manage if we hard-code every iView's CSS location (or set every individual Web Dynpro's application parameters), and we want instead for the Portal to supply whatever the user's stylesheet is dynamically.
So what we want is: if we change the Portal stylesheet, the Portal would just pass the new stylesheet URI to our ABAP Web Dynpro iViews without manual modification of the iViews.
Here is an example of what works:
http://our-abap-server.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects?sap-ep-themeroot=https://our-portal-server.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/ourportalstylesheetname
Shouldn't the Portal iView automatically pass sap-cssurl or sap-ep-themeroot to Web Dynpro ABAP? We have "Supply Portal Stylesheet" checked on the iView it just doesn't pass anything to the Web Dynpro ABAP. Why wouldn't SAP pass this parameter dynamically to the Web Dynpro ABAPs? Is this a product error?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this on the SDN message forums... I think this may be the core issue.
We are using a 7.0 SP13 Portal with an ECC 6.0 SP12 backend.

Now that you mention it, I ran into that exact same issue -- the application parameters didn't work for hard-coding the theme. The fix ended up being the web server semicolon thing I mentioned earlier (that was why the parameter didn't make it to the backend).
The themeroot is automatically sent to the backend from the portal, so you shouldn't really have to manually send it as a parameter anyways.
I'd suggest talking to your network guys. Also this could be the result of the SP you are on (we're on 13 for the portal and the backend system -- maybe this feature doesn't work in some earlier SP's?). There are also some options to force the theme as a WD application parameter on the backend side, which you could check into. Details on those are here:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
Also you could look at the requests being made by installing HttpAnalyzer in your browser. You can inspect "post" parameters going from the portal to the backend system. One of those posts (the first one to the backend system) should contain the parameter sap-cssurl (same kind of thing as sp-ep-themeroot). This is where our problem turned up as this parameter was not being posted.
Lastly, make sure that your frontend portal and backend portal are in the same domain. For instance:
frontend.domain.com
backend.domain.com
If your backend and frontend are in different domains it messes all kinds of things up, including stylesheets I think. If you can't get around this, then read about domain relaxing (but I highly recommend getting the domains the same).
When we started, ours were:
portal.dx.company.com
sap.company.com
This created all kinds of problems. Putting our systems in the same domain with the same protocol and fixing our little semicolon web server problem fixed basically all of our portal complaints. Up until that time, we had also had many problems with session management (backend sessions were getting stuck until the HTTP timeout).
That's all I know. Good luck.
