Webdynpro and eventing from team viewer

Question

Hi.
We are trying to add new fields to the MSS "General Data" iView (com.sap.pct.hcm.eeprofilegeneraldata.par) and are considering the following approaches:
1.) Write additional java code to retrieve the data we need and display it on the iview.
2.) Create a new iview from scratch using webdynpro.
At the moment we are leaning towards option 2 as we do not have much java experience and have found webdynpro relatively easy to use. But my question is....how difficult would it be for a webdynpro iview to pick up the eventing from the standard Team Viewer iview? I would want to make sure that when a user clicks an employee on the Team Viewer, his/her data would show up in the new webdynpro iview. Any details on how to go about this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris
If you are creating a new  iview from the scratch to display the details you had to have the epcf subscribe function. Here you get the parameter passed from the first iview. For this the raise event have to be fired from the MSS iview. So in the Msssiview You write the code for Raiseevent ON click of the button.
<b>Event Sending from par</b>
EPCM.raiseEvent("urn:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.example.reponamespace","linkclickevent",variable);
<b>
Event Receving on Webdynpro</b>
WDPortalEventing.subscribe("urn:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.example.reponamespace","linkclickevent",wdThis.wdGetEpcflistenAction());
public void onActionepcflisten(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent, java.lang.String dataObject )
    //@@begin onActionepcflisten(ServerEvent)
//    wdContext.currentContextElement().setName(dataObject);
//      wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("listen eventfired......");
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("dataobj is....."+dataObject);
    //@@end
(The variable dataObject cannot be changed to other name)
