Although I didn’t get the opportunity to record nearly as many interviews at TechEd Vienna as I would have liked, I did get a chance to chat with fellow SAP Mentor and eGhead - Nigel James of Apps Com Limited.
Nigel shares his thoughts on being an SAP Mentor and active member of the community, a little bit about BSP, and the state of the industry from his point of view.
In this episode of the ABAP Freak Show, we look at how you can use Portal Eventing for communication between different iViews in the same Portal Page. You can use Portal Eventing to communication between iViews of different technologies running on different backend systems. We will focus in this video on using Portal Eventing in Web Dynpro ABAP, although we will close the example with a demo of Portal Eventing between WDA and BSP. The portal in this video was a NetWeaver 7.02 system and is running the new AJAX portal framework and the signature design.
This is part 4 of the 5 part series on ABAP OO. In this part, we look at the special use case of Object Oriented technology and design techniques as they are applied to User Interface creation. Throughout all the ABAP UI technologies we study how MVC (Model View Controller) design can be applied. We look briefly at BSP and Web Dynpro ABAP and OO effects the overall design as well as specific features like UI element rendering and eventing. We close with an example of how you can adapt even Classic Dynpro and its PBO/PAI processing looks to a more Object Oriented MVC flow.
