Hi

How are pages in ABAP-Webdynpro rendered in web, how does they get converted in HTML.

As far as my understanding, ICM forwards the request to Application server ABAP, if request is for ABAP webdynpro page.

After that does ITS play a role to render these pages in Web ??

First of all ITS has absolutely nothing to do with Web Dynpro ABAP.

When you design a Web Dynpro ABAP application an XML based meta-data representation of the User Interface is saved in the repository. Then at runtime we have a Web Dynpro ABAP rendering engine (written completely in ABAP Classes) uses this meta-data to render corresponding HTML and JavaScript content that gets loaded into the HTTP Response object. We actually have multiple rendering engines for Web Dynpro (xBCML for Flash and the NWBC) as well as the ability to replace and upgrade these rendering engines over time without disrupting the applications. This is what is currently happening with 7.01 - we have rewritten the HTML/JavaScript renderer with a new version called LightSpeed.

Hi,

Previous UI technologies, such as ITS, cannot be used in combination with the new technology in Web Dynpro ABAP.

If you want to integrate an ITS-based application into a Web Dynpro ABAP application, use the Link UI element or an exit/suspend plug in a WDA application.
