Hi All,

I am new to Web DynproI searched the old posts but not able to find the answer.

..I need clarification regarding word "metadata" in terms of Web Dynpor ABAP.

There is a concept called "Web Dynpro MetaModel" in this what exactly "MetaModel" means.

hi, channappa.

Very sorry that cann't get what you want?

Anyway, Metadata is the "data" describing the "data".The most easly understanding example is the "Table": "data" is the real records saved in the table, the "meta data" is the data describing the table,i.e the attribute,fields,etc..

In WD, for example, the Context..The value which is saved in the memory by Context node/attribute, we can call them "Data", yet the data which we can get runtime(for example, the context node or attribute), maybe we can call them Meta data to some extent.

I don't this can fit your confusion.

Very glad to discuss with you.

Best wishes.

HI

When creating a Web Dynpro application, you use the Web Dynpro tools to describe the properties and functions of the application. The data created in this way is stored in tables as metadata.
