Web Dynpro UI Vs SAP Web UI

I have been trying to understand this but don't see enough material on this topic.
As we know, we can always go for SAP Web UI (Web version of SAP GUI) to web enable SAP Transactions. I would like to know what are the specific advantages and differences between standard SAP Web UI and Web Dynpro UI approach.
I guess, we can share our own experiences and thoughts on this and may be we can reach on some conclusion.
Thanks

Exchanging data between a Web Dynpro application and SAP Web Shop

I'll try to keep this as clear as possible:
1) We have the SAP Internet Sales system running, which has a series of Business Object classes and corresponding Backend Layer objects that can return data from several sources.
2) We are able to create our own Backend Layer objects that would return data from a component called IPC, which is a Java component.
3) I would like a Web Dynpro application to retrieve data from this backend layer object, but I am not experienced enough with Java to know if what I want to do is possible. I don't think that I can use JCo, because I am trying to get a Java component (class?) in Web Dynpro to access a Java class remotely.
4) I think I am asking is this: is there a way for a Java to Java connection to be created, much like Web Dynpro can use JCo to connect Java to ABAP systems?
If this is a glaringly obvious question to Java programmers, my apologies!
- Tony.

Somebody on another forum recommended using RMI. Which would be the better option in terms of ease of implementation?

Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

Hi,
Im trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, ) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

Hi Mike,
The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in

ABAP Web Dynpro V/S JAVA Web Dynpro

We need to pick developing technology between ABAP Web Dynpro v/s JAVA Web Dynpro. Is technology better than other in terms of security, scalability? There is lot of documentation on the web but it is very old and out dated. I am pretty sure things have changed quite a bit with recent versions of SAP. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
PS: I Used Web Dynpro for ABAP at my previous client for SAP SRM without a problem.

Dear Sap Fan
This has been a long and interesting debate on SDN.
You will find plenty of posts discussing this matter.
But there's no clear winner, I warn you.
;o)
This one in particular is very good:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e0e4940c-035c-2b10-0b9d-eb8f99674f4e]
But you can also check these others:
[webdynpro java or abap;
[Webdynpro Java or ABAP;
[Webdynpro Java or ABAP;
[Webdynpro Java or Abap ?;
More and more you see clients migrating from WD4J to WD4A.
Guess SAP is also heading into that direction, perhaps because Oracle bought SUN sometime ago.
I'm comfortable on both environments I have to say.
I have more than 10 years with development.
I know ABAP from inside out.
I also know JAVA and I'm certified with this technology.
But I personally prefer WD4A.
Why ?
Because you don't need to use NWDI.
Because you don't need to configure JCO's.
Because you integrate seamlessly the development with the transport framework (requests, etc..)
Because debugging is great.
Because plenty of traditional ABAP tools (trace, logs, performance analysers, etc..) can also be used with WD4A
Because you don't need to worry with NWDS...just type SE80 and you're there... ;o)
And I could go on and on....
But then again, it all depends:
Do you have a lot of good in-house JAVA knowledge ?
Do you use a lof of Custom JAVA development in your company ?
Are you planning to use standard SAP (ESS/MSS or others for example) ?
I'm not saying that WD4A is "better" than WD4J.
There's no such thing.
Each option has its pros and cons.
You also can't tell that WD4J is more secure or scalable than WD4A. Or the opposite.
And, believe me, WD4J is still going strong with a lot of customers.
But things are changing, and for me WD4A would make more sense if you want to be aligned with SAP.
Now and in the future.

Web Dynpro JAVA VS. Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I'm interested in advantages and disadvantages of WD JAVA & WD ABAP. Could anybody give me some "detailed" information about it?
We need any information you can give us.
regards,
Sharam

Hi,
Web Dynpro for ABAP:
Web Dynpro for ABAP or Web Dynpro for ABAP (WD4A, WDA) is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP Workbench (SE80).
The use of declarative and graphical tools significantly reduces the implementation effort
1) Web Dynpro supports a structured design process
2) Strict separation between layout and business data
3) Reuse and better maintainability by using components
4) Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard
5) User interface accessibility is supported
6) Full integration in the reliable ABAP development environment
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/77/3545415ea6f523e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Web Dynpro for Java:
Web Dynpro is a client-independent programming model of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform for developing user interfaces for professional business applications. It is based on the model view controller paradim which ensures that the business logic is separated from the presentation logic. This architecture is visible in the Web Dynpro perspective of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS).
Web Dynpro helps you with the development of Web applications by:
1) Ensuring platform-independence with the meta model approach
2) Minimizing the implementation effort through declarative programming
3) Supporting a structured design process by applying the model view controller paradigm
4) Providing reuse and better maintainability by using components
5) Providing graphical support with tools in the Web Dynpro perspective
6) Providing the SAP NetWeaver Java Development Infrastructure (NWDI) which supports team work with different services such as source code versioning and the Central Build Service.
for more see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/content.htm
The concept of Web Dynpro ABAP is identical with Web Dynpro Java and offers more or less the same functions
hope it helps

Using Web Dynpro authentication for a Web Service call

Hi all,
I want to develop a Web Dynpro that calls a Web Service running on the same Web AS (7.0). The Web Dynpro will be integrated in a Portal. The web service that has to be called is automatically generated when we create a guided procedure :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/44c59fd7c72e84e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
In my Web Dynpro, I imported the WSDL of this WS and created a model.
The first time I tried to call the WS in my Web Dynpro I got an authentication error :
Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://<myHostName>:50100/GPRuntimeFacadeWS/GPProcessExposing?style=document&pid=CA544E9B629A11DB91480017A48D672A&pver=0.5"
So I hard-coded an HTTP authentication :
 model._setUser("myWASuser");
 model._setPassword("myPassword");
And the Web Service call now works.
Now the next step is that the WS call is made by the user that runs the Web Dynpro. So I found this documentation :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/e8e95d1eba48dfa86ae91ad8816f5d/frameset.htm
It would resolve my authentication problem, AND the transport issue : at the moment the Web Service URL is stored in the Logical Port of the WD model, and at transport time, a rebuild of the WD project will be needed.
So I applied what is said in the doc : from the point of view of the Web Service consumer, I just had to add :
 model._setHTTPDestinationName("STARTGP");
(where STARTGP is the name of the destination I created in the Visual Administrator with a "Logon Ticket" authentication.)
before the execute(), and I removed my hardcoded authentication.
Unfortunately, nothing changes... I still get a 401 authentication error.
Does anyone have an idea about this ? Or maybe a workaround ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Regards,
Julien

Hello Julien,
I have a scenario similar to yours. A client webdynpro application accessing a EJB methods exposed as web service. Those EJB's methods calls R3 RFC's. The client requirements' was to allow SSO through all the layers (Webdynpro -> EJB WS -> RFC). The Webdynpro and EJB's are deployed on the same WAS.
Solution:
1 - Create a RFC Destination on Visual Administration provide the R3 connection parameters and set the Authentication for "Current User (Logon Ticket)". Save your Destination;
2 - In your EJB Project open your Web Service Configuration, on the Security page, set:
 Authentication Mechanism: HTTP Authentication
 Basic (username/password)
 Use SAP Logon Ticket
3 - In your EJB, implement the following code to create JCO Client for the RFC invocations:
Object obj = ctx.lookup(DestinationService.JNDI_KEY);
 DestinationService dstService = (DestinationService) obj;
 RFCDestination dst = (RFCDestination) dstService.getDestination("RFC", "<YOUR_RFC_DESTINATION_NAME>");
 Properties jcoProperties = dst.getJCoProperties();
 JCO.Client jcoClient = JCO.createClient(jcoProperties);
4 - In your EAR Project, open your "application-j2ee-engine.xml" and add the References:
 "tc/sec/destinations/service" as Service
 "tc/sec/destinations/interface" as Interface.
5 - Create your EAR File and Deploy;
6 - Check if the web service now requires Authentication: go to http://<host>:<port>/index.html and click on Web Services Navigator. Test your Web Service. Your Web Service should requiere you to log in before execute the test;
7 - Go back to your Visual Administrator and create a HTTP Destination. Provide your WS URL (should be something like "http://<host>:<port>/<WS_NAME>/Config1?style=document"). Choose Authentication: Logon Ticket. Save your Destination;
8 - Go to your webdynpro project, import your WS Model. (If you have already created it, you have to delete it and import it again, refer to this blog on how to reimport WS Models: /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2005/10/10/how-to-reimport-web-service-models-in-web-dynpro-for-java How To Reimport Web Service Models in Web Dynpro for Java );
9 - Open your model's Logical Ports node, go to the Security tab, and choose "Use SAP Logon Ticket";
10 - In your webdynpro code, before you call the ws invocation (should be something like that: <YOUR_NODE_DEFINITION>.modelObject().execute();), include the following line:
<YOUR_NODE_DEFINITION>.modelObject()._setHTTPDestinationName("<YOUR_HTTP_DESTINATION_NAME>");
11 - Save All Metadata and deploy your Webdynpro App. Test your results.
I hope it helps you, as the documentation on how to implement this scenario is scattered through the SDN and all the SAP help portal.
Best regards,
Paulo.

Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet what changes needs to be done from EP side

Hi All,
We are moving Web Dynpro Java timesheet to Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet.
what changes needs to be done from EP side?
I have made Web Dynpro ABAP iView calling Web Dynpro ABAP timesheet and linked it with page.
But It is showing an error 'Web Dynpro Application CATDATARECORD does not exist'.
Please suggest what other changes needs to be done.

Hi Anurag,
I have added new Web Dynpro ABAP iView to the same page in which Web Dynpro JAVA iview was added and made ABAP iview visible.
And this page is already assigned to role.
How should I link this ABAP iview so that it get replace by the Web Dynpro JAVA iview.
And the application name (CATDATARECORD) is correct and Web Dynpro JAVA is using the same application.
But now we want new time timesheet for that what changes needs to be done?
Please suggest.

Web Dynpro ABAP in SAP E-Recruiting

Hi,
We just imported SP8 for our SAP E-Recruiting 6.0. SP8 offers Web Dynpro ABAP as candidate UI. One question we have is how WD pages incorporated for recruiters who still use BSP pages. For example, when a recruiter logs into E-Recruiting and finds a specific candidate, he/she can click on "Candidate Profile" to get to that candidate's pages. In BSP technology, recruiter actually uses exactly the same pages that candidate uses for Work Experience, Education, etc.. With candidate UI using WD technology, does recruiter use the same WD pages when displaying candidate profile information? I have been searching all the possible places, such as IMG, SICF, in order find a spot so that I can set the switch on, but so far unsuccessful.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Li

Hi Li ,
At best of my understanding in WD ABAP , its possible to make one WebDynpro page serving same purpose ( showing profile deatils ) visible for manty( Candidate , as well as Recruiter ) ....
I would like to know what exactly you want from web Dynpro ..then I will be in better position to tell you.
FYI ...
1) Web Dynpro ABAP
As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
2 ) I can give you links that can help you a lot.
First of all start doing SAP SDN tutorials .
Create some compenents with BAPI , Component usage and ALV .
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/02e1fa45-0801-0010-10a0-f1cf47e8c943
/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2005/12/20/web-dynpro-for-abap
Try to Download demo tutorials from SDN library & Try to search WebDynpro ABAP WebLogs .
Wait not just that SAP has provided you with ample demo example of WD ABAP already bundled with SAP . Just Try out Components starting with WDR . I can tell you few like WDR_TEST_EVENTS ( It shows how every UI elments to use )
See packages like SWDP_DEMO , SALV_WD_DEMO
there are many more .

How to Pass Java Objects between Web Dynpro and Java SAP iViews

Basically I have an SAP web dynpro iView that I do stuff with and I want to pass an object to another iView which is just a regular Java iView. From what I've read and tried, I can't just stick something in the session object and hope that the Java iView can pull it down the other end. I had a dream that it was possible (seriously).
Anyway, are there any possible solutions around? Please advice and share you throughts. I will try to dream about it again tonight and see if its really gonna work this time.
thanks for your help in advance

There is no easy way you can pass objects other than those supported by express such as String, map, list etc.
Though not advised, you can create a class with static variables to handle the storage of such java objects during transition between form and workflow. You will need to somehow identify the objects uniquely .

Initiate web dynpro from non-SAP system

Hi all,
My costumers are using a non-SAP system, and I need to open a SAP purchase order from this system (based on the order number). Is it possible to put in a link on the non-SAP system, that initiates a web dynpro pop up filed with a SAP purchase order?
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi Thomas,
WebDynpro is technology native to SAP. WebDynpro Application is developed, utilizing the runtime , libraries & underlining platform in the SAP system. However when webDynpro component is to be used, its consumed as a simple Web Application( i.e you have a URL to invoke it ), thus if you have a WEBDYNPRO application, with fair amount of knowledge of HTML & JAVAScript you can call the URL, which is going to display you the webdynpro application.
so in effect a webdynpro application would appear as good as a webapplication that CAN be called on Browser from any where, but to build & change it you need SAP Netweaver.

Web Dynpro application calling external web server using HTTPS giving error

Hello,
I don't know whether this is the right question in this forum but my ABAP web-dynpro applicaiton is expected to call another HTTP application on external web server through HTTPS. Presently it is calling through plain HTTP but we want to have HTTPS.
Here are the steps that we followed based on the link from help.sap.com
1] Received the certificate files from external web server
2] Created SSL Anonymous client
3] Imported the certificate files under this client and added into the certificate list
4] Re-started ICM
5] Created RFC Destination of type HTTP to connect to external server with SSL option and basic authentication. This RFC destination was working under plain HTTP.
When tried with Test connection it gave error "ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED".
Any idea what might be missing. Thanks in advance.

Rajeev

Used proper certificate after which the error went away

Calling a Web Dynpro application from a web application

Hi everyone, I've got a problem I hope someone can help me resolve.
What I wanna do is to show a login form, which is part of a J2EE web application (contained in a SAP Web AS), an after the user submits the required information, I have to redirect the user to a Web Dynpro application, which is contained in the same Web AS, but I have to redirect this user using single sign on.
I'm not sure about what I have to do, I'm new in these technologies, I think I need to use UMFactory, but I have made some investigation and I'm not so sure about what I have to do yet, can anyone give me a hand with this?
