Stateless WDA

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Is it possible to create stateless WDA applications?

No. No stateless option in Web Dynpro ABAP yet. If you want stateless and to code in ABAP, then consider using BSP (which has both stateless and stateful). Web Dynpro Java as of NetWeaver CE 7.20 has a stateless option. Such an option is being researched/considered for Web Dynpro ABAP in 7.03.

Stateless is not just as easy as throwing a switch however. You have to design your application different. No long transaction locking for instance. In Web Dynpro it also means giving up framework functionality like value help and personalization.

Hi Thomas,

Does REST ( Representational State Transfer ) has anything to do with stateless implementation of WD coming in future releases ?

Can you throw some light on it.

No. Sorry. Just too early. We only have specs and prototypes.

Hi,

I don't think so.

If we have to create stateless applications then why go for WD, we can simply create normal HTML pages.

This is my opinion, let's see what others have to say about this.

Hello Manasa,

you are correct there is no concept called Stateless Components in webdynpro .

● Stateful applications are supported u2013 that is, if the page is changed and the required data remains intact so that you can access it at any time throughout the entire application context.

Note that stateless applications are not possible.
