Custom UI component for WebDynpro Java

[Former Member]

Hi !

My goal is to create my own custom component (namely transparent container with custom CSS rules) and use it in a view - how can i do that ?

i need to have rounded rect with textview inside and that seems the easiest way to achieve it however i dont know how to construct Dynpro UI component.

If you are already on release 7.11 you can create such a thing using the WebWidget UI element.

Hi Jacek

You can embed your custom component with IFrame element in WebDynpro view. IFrame element loads a content by URL which can be bound to controller's context. You can store your custom HTML content in MIME folder of the WebDynpro component. At runtime you can get the URL to the MIME content and initialize the IFrame with the URL.

However, IFrame element is being reloaded by WebDynpro framework too often during each request/response cycle. This is a disadvantage of the solution.
