Benefits of using mobile webdynpro

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am just a beginner & I would like to clarify something related to mobile WebDynpro.

I just wanted to know that all my applications which I develop using EP or a normal webdynpro application can be accessed by any mobile thro' online.

Then what is that different concept of Mobile WebDynro ?

If this is something really different then I am very much interested in knowing the benefits of using it.

Please let me know it would be of great help to me.

Advance thanks for your reply.

hello sandeep,

generally, when creating a web application, you have a

target client like browser. not all clients are capable

of rendering everything. most PC-based browsers do support

HTML and vary also in some degree e.g. some support only

till HTML 3 while others support HTML 4 etc... specifically

for mobiles with a very limited processing and storage capacity,

they would only support a subset of these standards. some

will only support WAP instead of the other.

now, instead of catering another set of codes for your

mobile clients, the mobile webdynpro abstracts this layer

and provide the functionality by rendering the resulting

page to what the client's agent could support. thus you

don't have to create a separate codes or models for your

mobile clients.

while mobile webdynpro offers an online solution, MI on the other

hand, is an offline solution. the UI has to be created by the

application developer as well... currently MI only support AWT,

JSP/servlet and microITS. i think in th future release, webdynpro

runtime for MI will also made available; in that time creating

an MI application will also be much similar to the way the

development of WD application.

hope this helps.
