import existing application

[Former Member]

Hi there!

I want to import an existing application to check out how the NWDI/JDI works. What do I have to do?

The application is no more under development.

Is it even possible to import an existing application without changing it too much?

cheerz.

Hi, Gerald!

What kind of application do you want to test NWDI with - Web Dynpro, DDIC, EJB?

hi again.

there is a problem importing the existing packages into the new WebDynpro-DC in Step 4.

When I open the Context to copy the package, i only get the option "Delete" not the option "Copy".

Do I have to change any Property of the existing Project?

regards.

Hi Gerald,

I believe you will just have to switch to either the navigator view or package explorer view.

hi there,

I followed the tutorial to migrate an existing webdynpro to the nwdi.

Now i have prolems with building the DC.

In the local Project the build runs without errors, but in the DC there are many errors, which are related to some imports which can't be resolved.

Do i have to create a DC for every package i want to use as import?

One of the missing imports is the generated wdp folder of my local project.

any ideas?

regards,

Gerald

UPDATE: I found the Option to include external Jars into my DC Project, this solves half of the import errors.

But the import errors belonging to my generated wdp files still exist!

By comparing the wdp_gen Folders of my local and my DC Project, i found out that in my DC Project gen_wpd Folder only a third of the needed files are existing.

any ideas?

Try a Reload/Repair of your Web Dynpro project in the Web Dynpro perspective, using the Web Dynpro Explorer view.

Unfortunatly, this didn't help.

The Import Problems are now fixed, i defined my existing local project as necessary for the DC-Project. Not an good solution, but it helps for now.

But still there are Errors because of some WebDynpro-Views in the DC-Project. I think they are related to the Problem with the missing generated files.

eG. the dataset-propertiy of a table in a view causes errors. I will post the correct error description as soon as possible.

regards,

Gerald

Here are the some of the error descriptions:

<i>Error Table SubstitutionsTable [dataSource]: Context element and property are not compatible SPAdoptSubstitutionView.wdview

Error CheckBox Active [checked]: UIElementEvent not valid SPAddSubstituteView.wdview

Error CheckBox active_editor [checked]: UIElementProperty not valid SPAdoptSubstitutionView.wdview</i>
