Creating a Web Dynpro Application 

Use

The Web Dynpro (WD) application in Mobile Applications for Handhelds is an application that can be called from the application launcher of a mobile device. The WD application is merely linked to an interface view of a WD component by an inbound plug declared as a startup plug. It therefore contains no information about the elements of the corresponding component or components behind the interface view.
