Creating the First Application Elements 

When you start programming a Web Dynpro application, you begin with the declarative definition of the basic application elements. You do this in the Web Dynpro Explorer.

You generally create the elements in the following order:

...

The first element you create is the Web Dynpro project. If you want to use an existing project, you can import it. See also Creating a Project or Importing a Project.

The next step is to create at least one Web Dynpro component, as described in Creating a Component. You can create all application elements whose definition is linked to the logical element component – for example, a custom controller, user message, or model use – independently of one another in any order. However, before you assign a model to the component, for example, you must ensure that you have already defined this model.

In the same wizard, you also define a window and an optional first view. Of course, you can also define these elements manually at a later stage; see Creating a Window or Creating a View.

After completing the previous steps, you create a Web Dynpro application unit, which plays a separate central role within a complex Web Dynpro application. See also Creating an Application.
