Advance Concepts - Adobe Islands

Integrate Adobe Flash or Flex content into Web Dynpro ABAP Adobe Flex Builder required for Flash development - not part of the SAP NetWeaver shipment

With Adobe Flex Builder, an Adobe Flash application is created and loaded into the Mime repository of a Web Dynpro component.

This Mime object is referenced by the Flash Island UI element

Best Practices
Some tell-tale signs to look out for:
Little

or no use made of Web Dynpro Logic placed within View of redundant workarounds

Component concept
Business

Controllers
Development

added to overcome a lack of understanding, not a deficiency in Web Dynpro

Inefficient

use of backend resources performance problems are

Consequently,

often built-in to the architecture

Principle: The Web Dynpro Component is both the fundamental unit of development and the unit of reuse; 1 Component = 1 Business Task

Best Practices coding standards

Dont make Web Dynpro components too large
Distributing

work between several developers is harder

Reusability

is poor

Dont make Web Dynpro components too small

The The

application might not perform well resulting sea of components might reduce maintainability level too small system overheads

Reuse

Higher

Checklist for high Performing WDA Programming

Do not write your entire application source code in Web Dynpro components Write source code in ABAP OO classes Use dynamic navigation or dynamic component usages only if it is absolutely necessary Do not create a mega context for all data belonging to one application View context should contain only the data necessary for the view Use the assistance class or other ABAP OO classes for the data exchange Do not create deep-nested contexts. Use singleton nodes if nesting is necessary Do not use dynamic attributes (IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO>ADD_ATTRIBUTE) Do not insert any TransparentContainer UI elements into Container UI elements, for example, Groups As far as possible, do not use the UI element tree
