The Web Dynpro Project in the NWDI 

Basically, there are two types of Web Dynpro projects:

·         Component-Based Web Dynpro Projects

In general, you will be involved in real development tasks that will require you to split up the work into several projects that also have clearly defined dependencies. In this case, the development tasks are split up amongst several developers or even several development teams. Here, the development process must support the development within the team in an optimum manner. At the development environment level, you will continue to work with Web Dynpro projects. These are development component projects. This means that a Web Dynpro project is identified by exactly one development component (DC). To find out how the development process is depicted here through SAPs Java development infrastructure, refer to the section Developing Within the Team.

·         Local Web Dynpro Projects

For smaller applications, you can create a local Web Dynpro project. All the project resources are then available only in the file directory of your PC. Within this kind of project, you will more likely process a limited kind of task and mostly execute the application on a single PC. In projects of this type, you will generally not define any external interfaces in order to provide the functions for other projects. In this particular case, this is a purely local development process that does not use the SAP Java development infrastructure. For more information on the development process, refer to the section Developing Locally.
