Application properties that you create in Web Dynpro can be personalized by portal users. When the Web Dynpro application retrieves the value of such an application property, the personalized value is returned.
...
1. In the Web Dynpro application, create application properties by clicking the application, and then selecting the Application Properties tab.
2. Add properties to the Application Properties table.
The following Web Dynpro code retrieves application properties:
IWDApplicationInfo appInfo = wdThis.wdGetAPI().
getComponent().getApplication().getApplicationInfo();
IWDApplicationPropertyInfo key = appInfo
.getApplicationProperty("myProperty");
After the application is deployed and an application page is created from it, a content administrator can view the page's properties. The custom Web Dynpro properties are displayed in the Web Dynpro category.
By default, the property is personalizable. An administrator can modify the property's default value, and can modify the property's settings so that portal users cannot personalize the value.
