6 SAP is Open

7 Open Development Environment SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio embeds the eclipse development framework and extends this framework with hundreds of plug-ins providing developers with productivity tools that accelerate development and increase agility. SAP is a board member and major sponsor of the Eclipse foundation

8 Eclipse Extensions to create e Composition Environment Model Composite Views and Processes. Extend through the development of dedicated application logic Composite Process: Guided Procedures Model process flow with graphical tools Modify with default process components Assemble workflows from re-usable blocks User Interface: Visual Composer, Web Dynpro, Adobe Forms, Voice Model UIs graphically Apply UI changes without coding Use interactive forms adjustable to specific needs Business Objects and Services: CAF Import of Enterprise Services Model business objects Compose application logic

9 Model-Driven Development and Deployment With SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 Robust, enterpriseclass Java EE 5 application server Guided Procedures (GP) for collaborative processes Composite Application Framework (CAF) business object modeling and service composition Processes Views Services Bus Web Services / Enterprise Services Connectivity Java Application Server Event Portal and Web Basic service New service Flow Analytics Data service Data or File Eclipse Development Environment Forms Service façade Enterprise service Role Mobile and Voice Developer Studio: Eclipse based development and modeling environment Visual Composer (VC) for model-driven UI development (incl. analytics and voice) Web Dynpro Java Adobe Interactive Forms Federated Portal Network Enterprise Services Repository and Registry (ESR) Software lifecycle management and logistics (NWDI)

12 Composition Perspective Overview Normal Layout

13 Business Object Modeler via CAF Is a tool for defining business objects, attributes and their properties as well as relations between business objects. These objects and their definitions serve to generate tables, table-relations, DDIC-elements and basic methods for reading, writing, changing, deleting & searching data (life-cycle methods). Generated methods are implemented as EJBs. Distinguishes between local and remote persisted business objects Local persistency data is saved in composite itself via JPA Remote persistency data is saved in backend system Additional infrastructure features like document handling, authorization, and logging & tracing are integrated automatically and interfaces to these services are created.

14 Application Service Modeler with CAF Is a tool for defining application services, operations (methods) and the associated business objects that the application service depends on. Provides a means to implement business logic for the composite application. Addition features can be automatically provided by the infrastructure such as document handling, authorization, logging & tracing. Supports easy access to external systems via Web Service or RFC models. Application services can be reused and published as Web Services.

36 Portal and Collaborative, Enterprise Web 2.0 Services Enables end-users to collaboratively create and provision content for intranet, extranet and internet scenarios: 1 Create processbased workspaces and establish user-driven communities 2 Support easy web authoring and publishing 3 Other Web 2.0 tools (tagging, blogs, wikis, networking, discussion forums ) Web 2.0 Services Portal and Collaboration

37 SAP NetWeaver Business Client Il SAP smart client allows for Windows-based (WPF /.NET) rendering of SAP UI controls and UI building blocks on the NW Business Client. It adds: - Great performance - Native Office and OS (Desktop) integration - Widgets support In addition, the NWBC consumes the Portal UI services and metadata Optionally, it can also integrate the SAPGUI and legacy Dynpros 1 2 HTML AJAX Flash Flex WPF.NET Client Abstraction NW UI Foundation

38 ... And Interoperability 1 SAP UI client which is based on Adobe Flex technology. As well for apps modeled in VC and running on WD4VC, as for other WD apps. Take advantage of the rich charting capabilities that Flex is the best for. 2 Another goal for WD- Flex is to implement the "Flash Islands" concept which allows for embedding Flex & Flash controls into WD pages to improve the usability. HTML AJAX Flash Flex WPF.NET Client Abstraction NW UI Foundation

39 Integration with Java Server Faces (JSF) The goal behind this development is to open up Web Dynpro to Java EE 5 standards in a way, it can: 1 Support embedding of JSF UI components (e.g. JSF GoogleMap example) in Web Dynpro Views 2 Provide the SAP lookand-feel and accessibility features for JSF standard library To run Web Dynpro as an extension of JSF 3 JavaServer Faces Web Dynpro
