Hi all!

I have a little bit similar question.

I'm developing an example application: master data request workflow using Web Dynpro and Guided procedures. I use SAP Sneak Preview and Netweaver Developer Studio. I already have three WD Components, the navigation between the view's of a component is solved with action buttons. But I don't know yet how I could navigate between the certain components, so how is it possible to go from the first components last view to the second component's first view?

Hi Peter,

If each of your Web Dynpro component is a callable object(Web Dynpro GP Interface type) then the navigation between different Web Dynpro component views has to be controlled by the GP process. For this you can use the result state of the callable object (to be set in the custom complete() method in your Web Dynpro application's Interface controller) and based on that you can specify the target in GP.

For more details you can refer the following docs:<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1eb928a1-0601-0010-f890-be9169f0d856">Creating Composite Application</a>

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Dipankar!

Meantime I also read about the same solution in the book called Enterprise SOA, from Dan Woods and Thomas Mattern. So the navigation will be solved with GP.

Now I am working on my Web Dynpro components, after finishing it, I'll go on with creating the GP.

Thanks a lot for the two documents, they are very helpful!

reference the gp public api. if you don't have the gp api you can get them from my blog /people/andre.truong/blog/2006/06/26/working-with-the-apis-of-caf-guided-procedures-nwdi-or-local-development

and start the process like it's described in section "3.3.4.1 Starting and Terminating Processes Within a Composite" (page 284) from the How-to guide https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1eb928a1-0601-0010-f890-be9...
