Creating
a Web Dynpro Development Component Project
Development
components (DCs) are a central part of the
SAP Java Development
Infrastructure. When you
create a DC, a Java application is prepared for a possible integration into
the Java infrastructure. This
also applies to the Java Web Dynpro application; a Web Dynpro DC project is
thus a special DC project. In a
DC, you can define public parts for the cross-project reuse of entire
application parts. This allows
development across computer, user, or team boundaries. Important introductory information in available
under
Component
Model.
The Web Dynpro perspective provides wizard support for creating a Web Dynpro development component (DC) project. All functions provided by the Web Dynpro tools are available both for non-DC projects and for DC projects.
Prerequisites
Before you create a
DC project, you must import a DC configuration file into the development
environment. The Web Dynpro
perspective provides support in the form of a wizard. Information about the configuration file itself is
available under
Working with
Development Configurations.
Procedure
To create a Web Dynpro DC project, proceed as follows:
...
1. Choose File ® New ® Development Component Project and choose Next to proceed to the second wizard window. Make the required entries, such as the name.
You should keep the project name as short as possible. The path name of the URL generated for the application cannot exceed 255 characters.
2.
In the next window,
assign your DC to a software component. For this, refer to the infrastructure documentation
Working with
Components.
Result
In the Web Dynpro Explorer, the Web Dynpro DC project is displayed as the main node. The tree hierarchy of the Web Dynpro DC project contains directories that represent the definable Web Dynpro entities. The display of the logical project structure in the Web Dynpro Explorer corresponds 1:1 to the display of a non-Web Dynpro DC project.
In the file system, the classes of the Web Dynpro DC project are generated into the WDA file, which in turn is packed into the app.jar file. app.jarcan be found in the directory PORTAL-INF/lib.
