Assistance Class

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm currently using a component with assistance class, but i was wondering whether it wasn't creating more overhead than it should delete. The context is completely dynamical as is the user interface, so I create my attributes of the class at runtime. Doing this, and taking that it's a fairly easy input application with approximately 150 fields, and no tons of processing afterwards, is it a good idea to work in the component only? and define my methods only there?

I'd like to have a second opinion, ideas are welcome.

Hi Koen,

It's still a good idea to use the assistance class. Main reasons are that you need a place to store dynamic texts and you get the power of the class builder including all ABAP OO features, like defining constant values or static attributes and methods. These things are not possible in a controller of a Web Dynpro Component.

Best regards,

Thanks Thomas,

i'm still using it, but i wasn't that convinced anymore, because it's basically:

building context, building ui all dynamically and checking whether all required

fields are filled in properly
