Interface IF_WD_APPLICATION allows access to the description data that is valid for the entire Web Dynpro application.

Methods
GET_APPLICATION_INFO

Returns the metadata description of the application. The result is an object of type IF_WD_RR_APPLICATION.

GET_IS_RTL

Method to specify whether the application can be switched to right-to-left (RTL).

The text direction of languages from the middle east, for example, Hebrew and Arabic is right to left. Right-to-left (RTL) is the opposite of left-to-right (LTR) which is normal for Indo-European languages. With RTL numbers, for instance telephone numbers or posting items, and proper names are written left to right. So in RTL languages there is often a mix of RTL text with LTR sentence parts from LTR languages.

The Web Dynpro programming model supports the RTL concept.

Application developers should note the following points in order to use the full extent of RTL support:

  • Make sure that frames appear in the correct sequence, that is, in RTL the order of the frames mirrors LTR:

    • Menu and content lists belong on the right-hand side

    • The actual content belongs on the left.

  • If required, create RTL versions of your images and make sure that the RTL version of the images is used in the application.
