Web Dynpro ABAP replaces Web Dynpro Java

[Former Member]

Hi, all!

The release notes for ESS 1.2 (ERP6.0, Enh.Pack. 2) say that all WDJ applications within travel management have been replaced with WDA. Does anybody know if this reflects a general strategy of SAP - drawing back from WDJ, replacing existing Java-apps with ABAP and developing new scenarios in WDA?

It would be important to get a definite statement on this issue as we are now implementing ESS on portal basis and have to decide wheater to discard the old ITS-scenarios and modify the new Java-based Web Dynpros or keep the old ITS-services with interal ITS and wait for the WDA applications to arise.

Any hints are more than appreciated!

Regards,

Thomas

Hi all,

to stop the discussions please have a look at the identical thread in the Web Dynpro Java forum:

I already got the answer from HCM forum: Yes, WDJ is going to be replaced. The only thing I wonder is if SAP is now withdrawing completely from this technology and remembering its roots and strengths?

Hi Thomas.

This is a rumor I have heard some months ago. Seems to be true that SAP will go back to its roots.

Hi, Sascha!

Have you by chance any use for a NW Devel. Certification Java? Guess there will be a lot of jobless SAP Java consultants around within the next time. Nobody wanted them - I know as I' ve felt it myself - and now nobody needs them any more.

Hi Thomas.

Good Java Developers do not need a SAP environment. So it should be possible to finds ome other Job outside the SAP world. But I can not imagine that SAP will drop all the JAVA stuff??!!

As I said ... for me it is still just a rumor ...

Cheers,

Sascha
