When will SAP Java AS for EE 7 see the light? And NWDS on Eclipse 4.2?

Hi,
since thread 2028916 When will SAP Java AS for EE 6 see the light? became too long and old - scrolling on mobile devices is a pain -  I decided to start a new thread to discuss the future of the SAP Java AS on premise platform in combination with the development tool NWDS.
Java EE 7 is general available for a year next week. It is difficult to get courses on Java EE 5 and books at the antiquarian bookshop. Eclipse 3.5 underneath NWDS is completely outdated already and out of support on Eclipse side. BPM, SAP's still emerging software, is only availble in this old tooling.
SAP's CTO Sikka left the company giving us the chance to discuss this topic beyond the time of HANA hype.
Hopefully this thread will begin with good news.
Best regards
Rolf

Hello Steffen,
thank you for your input. Because of holiday a late answer.
You are absolutely right, and I am sure it is not only your personal opinion, but the simple truth.
NetWeaver Java's right to exist is only as platform for CE tools like PI and BPM engine.
And because SAP cut themselves off Java 7 and EE >=6 standard, even these tools will become outdated quickly. E.g. you run into trouble running current oData libraries on this platform. I cannot recommend anybody to use BPM in new projects - a tool that is running on Java 6 / EE 5 in 2014 and needs a strange and unneccessary concept of "Development Components" at design time.
If we knew what we know today in 2010, we would have abandoned the NW Java platform already and found a nice web frontend. But SAP kept stalling us, so now we have dozens of WD Java that want to be replaced.
What really is striking me at this topic is the hype of the al the important SAP people (mentors etc.) around "kiss of death of WD Java" that kept the social networks busy in 2010 as constrasted with the ignorance regarding the way more substantial decay of the complete SAP NetWeaver Java platform. Our customers and we as software developers could live for the next 10 years with a rock solid and "mature" UI framework like WD Java even without any enhancements, but we cannot bear complete stagnation in our business layer and the platform and development infrastrucure on the whole.
SAP NetWeaver Java is dead, "deader" than WD Java will ever be, but the important people do not even read the death notice. Probably they are out of town in the HANA cloud.
SAP neglected the house for a too long time, the house is decayed, it is too late for cosmetic repairs by SAP, we have to move out.
Best regards
Rolf

  • When will SAP Java AS for EE 6 see the light?

    Hi all,
    As far as I know, SAP's bleeding edge AS (NW73 AS) is based on EE5.
    As several java AS vendors are releasing EE6 compliant products, I would like to know whether any deadline has been set for SAP's EE6 app server release.
    Thanks in advance
    regards
    Vincenzo

    Hi Rolf,
    there has been a lot of discussion around the question whether the on premise NetWeaver
    Application Server for Java will support the Java EE 6 standard! I have joined this discussion just
    recently meaning I have not studied all the discussion threads. Some citations go back several years, others are new.
    With respect to roadmap statements SAP has clearly formulated rules of communication and established clear templates that indicate the current feature set (“Solution Today”), the “planned innovations” for the next 12 months roughly (for on premise deliveries) and the future direction. The section on “planned innovations” is the one which is closely related to the current backlog of the development teams in terms of feature delivery. No commitment is given as to whether the planned innovations will be delivered but under normal circumstances there is a good probability to have them in the next foreseeable enhancement packages or quarterly updates. The future direction is typically more a strategic level which is touched by our senior
    management team and often communicated at TechEd keynotes for example. 
    Java EE 6 is not contained in the planned innovations for the on premise NetWeaver Application
    Server Java. Customers get the roadmap information from SAP service marketplace and from roadmap Q&A sessions at TechEd.
    We never communicated anything different. In multiple sessions and written content we
    clearly communicated that innovation in on premise environments focuses on the ABAP stack while HANA Cloud Platform offers other languages including Java with support for
    open standards adoption. We know that many of our customers are running AS Java based Portals, Process Integration hubs, BPM etc and we will fulfill our support commitments providing a solid foundation to run our Java based solutions. This causes a lot of significant investments
    for our development support organization. For example we enabled the SAP Java VM for JDK1.4 since some customers still run Portals based on that standard. Likewise we currently look into several topics such as NetWeaver Developer Studio and newer JDKs.
    But the JEE program model is not in scope here. The adoption of JEE as program model for
    SAP applications, customer and partner extensions was always pretty limited (exceptions confirm the rule). We heavily pushed Web Dynpro Java, NWDI for several years etc (my team wrote a complete SAP Press book about it) but the market moved to other frameworks in the meantime. Again we fully maintain these frameworks and infrastructures including improvements to make our customers’ life easier (for example the development support is currently piloting an NWDI compliant infrastructure to supply notes, similar to SNOTE in ABAP).
    Last but not least our senior management team clearly indicated the importance of cloud
    based infrastructures for standards and open source adoption.
    Since NetWeaver 7.3 embracing the Java EE5 was announced back in 2010 the shift towards HANA, cloud and mobile has been a recurring top level theme at all major SAP events and publications (trust me I attended all US and EMEA TechEds).

  • After changing the battery in my iphone 4s, the phone will not boot up. I only see the apple and when it sits for a few minutes, a code shows above it. What is going on? Did I damage the phone by replacing the battery?

    My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.

    iPhones are not user servicable.
    Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

  • I have an app that doesn't have a full screen option. In windowed mode, is there a way I can block out my desktop and the other apps when using it? I only want to see the app and want everything else to be black. Aspect ratio = perfect square.

    IOSX, Mountain Lion.
    Many thanks,

    With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Music pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says sync only checked songs. The check the songs you want synced and click on Sync. For more info see:

  • When will Aperture have support for RAF files from the new Fuji XPro-1?

    How long does it normally take to get the RAW file format updated? Fuji say they sent the file details to Apple many weeks ago. This is a camera being given fantastic reviews in all professional magazines worldwide - but I'm stuck with an Aperture folder full of "unsupported image format" files.
    Really annoying as I use the full suite of Nik plug-ins so I can't do anything with these files until Aperture is updated.

    Per an interview with a spokeswoman from Fuji, they have indeed provided Apple (and Adobe as well) all the needed technical information in order to support the RAW files (i.e. algorithmic information created by Fuji for the non-standar filter array, etc etc). Please don't spread any more misinformation about it, it's already been flamed to death on all the online camera forums. You can still choose to 'blame' whomever you wish about why it's still not supported by Apple, but you can no longer reasonably assert that Fuji hasn't done their part by providing them what they need. Nondisclosure agreements were signed as well.
    Having said that, I find it ridiculous at this point that it's not supported, for several reasons, some being the seemingly similar Fuji users who also use Aperture as well as the opportunity here for Apple to take some market from Adobe (who as of yet are not producing very great output files for Fuji X-trans). Apple was/has been at a disadvantage to Adobe for a long while now, and being an outsider, I presumed Apple would want to take advantage of this (and any similar) opportunity to grab some share from Adobe. I was well wrong, and it seems that other lesser-known-used companies are now doing just that.
    Well good on them. I for one will be looking at any/all (new)comers and will certainly be going with the best of those. Sorry Apple, you lost another one. There was a real competition, for me, btwn Aperture and LR4 up till this point. You'd have to pull a rabbit out of your hat to keep my Aperture biz.

  • HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

    Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • SAP Java lib for SOAP: is there any chance to use HTTP-compression?

    We use 3rd party web service in java, they plan to use HTTP-compression to save the bandwidth. At the moment I have no idea how to turn it on in SAP Java libs for SOAP.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Kirill,
    HTTP-compression is something, which occurs at the HTTP protocol level (transparent and below the SAOP protocol) and is controlled by HTTP protocol headers.
    To enable HTTP-compression, you will "somehow" have to manipulate the http layer of the SAP SOAP stack.
    Good starting point to look for further information is the NWDS help. Use the search topics "header compress".
    Regards

  • When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

    When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
    The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
    Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?

  • When will lollipop be released for Moto X?

    When will Lollipop be released for 1st gen Moto X?   Certainly must be some new information since Nov 2014.
    I hope this isn't one of who is waiting on who. Verizon vs Motorola.

    Motorola started rolling it out on 2013 models just a few days ago...  The 2014 actually came out first on Verizon before their other 2014 X models go it from I remember.  So pretty much I think it's a toss up at this point on what's going on.
