Generic Definition: WebDynpro is a great modeling environment whitch stores the user-

interface details in the form of metadata. We can write less code and fix bugs in a shorter
time with lesser effort. It increases a programmer’s productivity by manifolds.

Webdynpro is nothing but one framework for developement of user interface for use with
SAP NetWeaver.It support programming for different platform such as JAVA
,ABAP,.NET .

In case of JAVA webdynpro comes with extensive design tool .Thease tools are based
upon Eclipse framework ans SAP’s NWDS

Technical Definition : WebDynpro is a client-independent programming model used for

developing sophisticated user interfaces for web based business applications.

History: The name WebDynpro , Dynpro means Dynamic Program it is SAP’s Legacy
technology for interactive UI’s.It is to Combine High Interactivity (dynamic GUI) and
Zero Installation.

What are the naming conventions to be followed while developing Web Dynpro
applications?

Web Dynpro context names should use only the characters A..Z, a..z, 0..9, _ . Digits can
be used only from 2nd position. The JAVA naming conventions can be followed but avoid
using unicode characters to keep the names simple. However one should avoid using the
prefixes wd, WD or IWD since these are the prefixes used during generation of internal
coding entities.

Basic Concepts

1. View – is the central logical layout element in the Web Dynpro application.It is
responsible for the presentation logic and for the browser layout.

Description of a visible screen area;

Contains and lays out controls (aka widgets)
Defines actions (i.e. relevant input on controls by the user), which trigger event handling

2. Controller – active part of web dynpro application,handles the data flow between the
model and the view in both directions

Performs event handling

Each component has a component controller
Each view has a view controller
Custom controllers may be added for further structuring

3. Model – is the interface to the back end systm and is responsible for providing data to
the entire application.
Represents the data in the backend

4. Component

Reusable UI program package

Mostly contains views, often uses models
Communicates with other components via component interfaces

5. Application

Something runnable (from client application, i.e. web browser)

Identified by URL
Running an application means starting a component, navigating” to an initial view in an
initial window.

6. Windows

Single UI unit representing a component’s user Interface/View Composition needed for

embedding purposes.

7. Context

A controller contains a context which holds the data. The data flow between the contexts
is referred to as context mapping..
