BSP Development vs. Netweaver Development

[Former Member]

Does anyone know where to find good documentation to argue one side vs. the other?

BSP is (also in) Netweaver

Netweaver is effectively the complete platform that includes both the ABAP and Java stacks, plus other bits and pieces.

If you should be asking BSP versus Web Dynpro (Java!), then please search through this forum. This topic has now been discussed enough, and will not be dragged back into the spotlight.

Hi Brian

With due respect, using the term Web Dynpro to describe J2EE developement is rather disingenious. As SAP are in the process of developing Web Dynpro for ABAP surely this is simply setting us all up for yet another round of confusion and missunderstanding.....?

Jon,

he didn't, he said...

Web Dynpro (Java!)

as opposed to...

Web Dynpro (Abap!)

Brian doesn't make mistakes, he leads, we follow !

Hallo Jon,

Not speaking English as mother langauge, forced my to consult my dictionary! "Disingenious" is a strong word.

No, I have no "illusion" about the confusion that is spread by marketing. Most days I just laugh about it, sometimes cry, but it does not help. And the frustration for customers is more than clear to me.

And this is why I asked specifically about BSP (out since 610) versus Web Dynpro Java (since 6.40 == NetWeaver '04). I have to assume that is what the original poster indended to ask with the question "Netweaver Development" when posting here.

To come back to marketing aspects: Netweaver is effectively the platform on which to develop, and as main components have the Java stack (J2EE, etc) and the ABAP stack (VM, databases, transport system, etc). Also included are Enterprise Portal (EP), MDM and as far as I know at least (parts of?) XI. In terms of UI technology, Netweaver is SAPGUI, ITS, BSP, portal HTMLB, Web Dynpro (Java), etc. In this confusion, of course it not 100% clear what was asked.

As for Web Dynpro ABAP, we know that prototypes have been shown at TechEd. We know that some of us have a day job developing nice new things in ABAP. However, we can not really talk about it. This forum is not the place to discuss new technology that SAP is developing (or not:). When the next rampup starts, we will see what is in the box.
