    Introduction

    What is Web Dynpro for ABAP?

    Web Dynpro is the User Interface (UI) technology for developing client-independent applications. It comes with a programming model, set of tools and a run-time. The platform independent metamodel definition enables Java and ABAP to be the run-time environment for Web Dynpro applications.

    The development environment of Web Dynpro for ABAP (or, ‘WD-ABAP’ for short) is tightly integrated into the ABAP workbench (SE80). ABAP classes are generated automatically from the metamodel created in this design tool. Custom coding is done in ABAP for tasks such as business logic (Model) access, event handling, and dynamic screen modification. The ABAP stack of the application server (Usage type: AS-ABAP) is the runtime environment for executing the generated ABAP classes and custom coding. Based on the client from which the application is triggered, the unified rendering takes care of rendering the UI in respective technology (for example, if it is triggered from a web browser, the Web Dynpro UI metadata is converted to HTML, JavaScript and rendered using HTTP(S)).

    Web Dynpro – ABAP and Java

    If you are familiar with the Web Dynpro (Java) perspective in NetWeaver Developer Studio, you can appreciate the similarity between that and the above Web Dynpro Explorer (ABAP). Yes, the tools in both environments (Explorer, View editor, UI Element Outline, Property editor, etc.) are pretty comparable. Not only the tools but also the programming model, UI elements, etc. are similar in both the worlds. Due to the nature of these two worlds, there are some basic differences between these two tools, like the list of UI elements available, wizards, graphical tools and source code control & transport. I will cover the differences in detail in a future blog.

    The benefits of using Web Dynpro for ABAP

    Using WD-ABAP would make sense, if you are planning to develop a web application (or a non-SAPGUI application, considering) to expose the business functionality that primarily resides in the ABAP stack. Following are some of benefits of using WD-ABAP against other comparable technologies.

    General Web Dynpro benefits

    Since Web Dynpro is based on MVC model, your business logic is naturally separated from the presentation logic. This is a good programming practice, so that the business logic could
