What's the difference between IResource & IWDResource?

[victorpale]

Hello SAP's gurus.

I'm reviewing a code and find two declarations:

IResource resource = null;

IWDResource = null;

I don't understand in what cases I use IResource or IWDResource?

Best regards,

Hi Victor,

I assume, the full qualified type of the variable "resource" is com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource, isn't? This class represents a KM resource, for example an image or pdf file.

The IWDResource represents the resource of your Web Dynpro application, which you use in your user interface, for example an attachment or preview image etc.

Please see i.e. here:  for an example of using these classes together
