Hello,

Please explain difference between element and attribute.

Hi VJ,

You can also think of a context node as a "class" definition. Like a class, it has a name, and member variables (the attributes).

An element is an "instance" of the class. So once you have a concrete instance, you can set its attribute values.

The cardinality of a node defines how many concrete instances (elements) can exist simultaneously.

There are some good documents and explanations already provided, but here is one more: the web dynpro context is basically an XML document. Therefore you can often read about XML documents in general and reuse that knowledge when working with Web Dynpro.

Hi,

Attribute is like Single Column. But Element is like Single Row.

For Example:

Student is a Node, and Student Node contains following attributes : Name, Rollno, and Addres.

Name Rollno Address

Vijay 51 Tamilnadu,India

above row is Single Element ( Vijay 51 Tamilnadu,India ).

Regards,

Vijay
