as far as i know WD Java supports mobile devices like blackberry.
as WD Abap and WD Java are based on the same model is WD Abap also possilbe for mobile devices? If so, what are technical requirements for that?
kind regards oliver
Hi Oliver,
WebDynpro for ABAP and WebDynpro for Java , has the difference in the implementaion programming language only
- for ABAP closely associated with R/3 ).
- complete integration into NW ABAP Stack.
- Direct connection . No need of JCO.
Here the constraint is render the UI elements properly with different devices (PCs , PDAs,and cell phones).
Web Dynpro supports display formats for various front ends, from PCs and laptops to mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones.
Screen flicker caused by reloading the page in the browser is avoided through a process called delta handling, which replaces only those parts of the screen that have changed.
hence
like WebDynpro for Java ,
WebDynpro for abap also supports mobile devices.
refer these links too..

Into the courseware of course NET310 (page 6) SAP explains, that WebDynpro ABAP supports different mobile devices (also PDA's, Pocket PCs ...). A commercial gimmick?

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/23c7410400c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Mobile Web Dynpro</a> had already been supported in the Java stack (WDJ). for WDA, it is not yet supported; however, depending on your
application especially simple ones, your mobile browser may be able to display
it correctly. here's a <a href="/people/oliver.mayer/blog/2006/06/14/web-dynpro-abap-or-java where you can see the thread of discussion regarding mobile support
on WDA. as for official statement, there seems to be no announcement yet.

Hi,
We are planning to implement a connected Mobile solution for devices running Windows CE using the Webdynpro approach.
Since both WD for JAVA & WD for ABAP produce HTML code for a browser, does it really matter whether we use WD for ABAP over WD for JAVA?
If using WD for ABAP is an issue, what exactly is the issue?
Thanks for your responses

hello rajkumar,
i haven't check on the WD for ABAP updates. so far, WD for
ABAP doesn't support mobile clients while WD for JAVA has
a framework for the proper rendering of pages to certain
client agents e.g. WAP etc... if mobile clients are already
supported by WD ABAP, it won't matter anymore... it is just
a matter of choice.

Hi,
I have personally never worked on ABAP WebDynpro, but I think it requires ABAP engine to run, which cannot be deployed on Mobile devices as it is heavy, unlike JVM used for running Java WD.
In Mobile 7.1, the Mobile Administrator provided by SAP is developed using ABAP WD, but that resides on the middleware.

Rahul
hello oliver,
the java web dynpro(JWD) has a set of apis of mobile devices
support like blackberry and pocketPC. in JWD, there are
renderer classes for specific client agent for mobiles.
on the other hand, ABAP web dynpro(AWD) is something new.
and basing on the documents available, i couldn't find any
support nor available APIs for mobile device like WML
rendering for blackberry .
well, i think it is just a matter of time when mobile
devices will be supported in AWD... but with the current
release, i don't think that it is officially supported.
regards

Hi Oliver,
not as far as I know, because there are a lot of limitations on a mobile device on JavaScript e.g. So that is why we need to render (on the Server side) specific html for Pocket PCs or WML for BlackBerry. Therefor we implemented the renderer classes, but we did in Java only, not on the ABAP stack.
On the other hand - the device recognition for the ABAP stack is not able to recognize the mobile device, only MS and Firefox.
I know it does not help for now, but I will forward the requirement to the appropriate people.
Best regards, Karin
hello oliver,
not all html-codes are compatible with all the browsers.
most mobile devices only support a subset of the html tags
as defined in the W3 specification; and some only support
WML.
to support mobile devices, automatic agent/browser detection
and proper rendering of the codes are necessary. for mobile
phone like blackberry e.g., the page should be rendered as
WML and not as HTML.
hope this helps.
regards
jo
