Cr eat i ng a Web Dynpr o Vi ew - WYSI WYG
A view layout can be constructed in one of three ways. Either by:
Dragging and dropping the individual UI elements onto the screen one at a time
By using the Insert Childmenu option in the Outline view
Using the template wizard to create UI elements based on attributes found in the context
Shar i ng Dat a The Web Dynpr o Cont ex t
Why do Web Dynpro controllers have a context?
To provide a standardized data storage structure common to all controllers
To allow data to be shared easily between controllers (context mapping)
To act as a data supplier for UI element properties (view controllers only)
