The Web Dynpro Toolset
Use
The Web Dynpro represents a new generation of tools for creating professional user interfaces for browser-based business applications. Along with a runtime and metadata model, the Web Dynpro technology delivers a range of services and design-time tools. These Web Dynpro tools support you through the complete development cycle of the Web Dynpro application, from generating project components right through to deployment and testing. Most of the Web Dynpro application is generated automatically. Objects in the Web Dynpro application are mainly created using wizards. Only event and error handling need to be programmed manually.
When you design views or specify the navigation structure for your application, a graphical tool called the Application Modeler provides considerable support.
To design the layout of each view, launch the View Designer, which provides numerous predefined view elements (or controls). You add view elements to the layout pane simply by dragging and dropping them.
You define cross-application data types and UI service information (text and value services) using the central Java Dictionary.
The Web Dynpro tools ensure that integration with the backend logic is seamless. You can use wizards to create a model for your Web Dynpro project.
The Context Editor allows you to assign a context to a view controller – and thus, for example, to map view data fields to model data, or to Dictionary data types, or even to the context of another view controller.
You can access the Web Dynpro tools from the Web Dynpro Perspective.
Features
- Generate a Web Dynpro project framework, with or without a connection to the component model.
- Create Web Dynpro components as reusable, structure-providing units in the application.
- Design applications with graphical support in the Application Modeler.
-
- Create views and view sets.
- Define the view sequence using navigation links.
- Design the view layout using the graphical View Designer.
- Define view contexts, which are used to store local view controller data and its references (to model data, global Dictionary types, or to other view contexts).
- Define global data types (simple types) and UI service information from within the project.
- Model integration by importing model descriptions
