Submit button in Web Dynpro Native and ActiveX tab

Question

We use LiveCycle Designer 7.1 in a SAP environment (CRM5.0/NW2004S 7.0.06). We are creating an online Interactive Form via Web Dynpro for Java using NW2004S.
In NW2004 you have to possibility to select the 'Submit to SAP' button from the Web Dynpro tab. However, in NW2004S this has been changed into 2 submit buttons, one on Web Dynpro Native and one on Web Dynpro ActiveX tab. Does somebody know what the differences are compared to NW2004? When to choose what button and what kind of code you need to enter to send the data the SAP?
kind regards

Sarang,
Lets go step-by-step.
1. Create two views in your applications lets say the names are View1 and View2.
2. Goto Diagram View of the Window in under Windows node in your Web Dynpro Explorer in NWDS.
3. Create Inbound and Outbound plugs for View1 namely inbView1 and outView1
4. Repeat the same for View2. So names will be inbView2 and outView2.
5. Create a navigational link between the Vies by creating a link from outView1 plug to inView2 plug.
6. Goto Layout tab for the View1. This is where you have embedded the Interactive form element.
7. Set the displayType property to native.
8. Under Events there will be onSubmit method, craete a new method called navigateToView2 and click Go. This will take you where you can implement your logic.
9. Fire the outbound plug of View1. See following code snippet:-
public void onActiong navigateToView2(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActiongotoView2(ServerEvent)
    wdThis.wdFirePlugOutView1();
    //@@end
10. Edit the Interactive form, it should open Adove LiveCycle Designer.
11. Drag-drop Submit button from WD Native library ontot the form.
11. Don't modify anything and check if you see below code snippet in the Editor.
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - 705.20051114114126.253659.250577 - SubmitToSAP.xfo
                      ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
                      // END OF DO NOT MODIFY
12. Now whenever you click submit button on the form, what it does is that it makes call to WD framework and the onSubmit action handler is called where you have written the code to navigate to View2.
