What is the difference between HTML Islands and SAPUI5

[nikos_c]

Dear all,

I am currently involved in a project in which we want to create a new web application for accessing information in SAP. The user's in this new application would like to connect using the single sign-on feature. During my search I have come across two different technologies:

- HTML Islands

- SAPUI5

I would like to ask if the above technologies are somehow connected?

Can both be used in order to create a new web application with direct access to SAP data?

Are there any constraints or limitations?

Are there any server-oriented / client-oriented developer tools?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

thanks for the information. So as far as I understood, HTML islands are used inside a web-dynpro screen (and are currently saved in the server) . However, the SAPUI5 are not stored in the server (SAP netweaver). They run in an APACHE/Tomcat server and whenever they need to access SAP back-end, the do it via Netweaver Gateway?

So, in case I want to create a new web application that interacts with SAP, what should be the best approach?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you want to use that application in Mobile/Tablet, or PC, then you can go for SAP UI5.
