Now we come to the tougher side of web Dynpro. I have tried to put together
some concepts from the point of view of an interview . That's why you wont find
the details here but an overview.
Question 1: What is Web Dynpro Component Usage?
Real world business scenarios are quite complex and may involve multiple Web
Dynpro Components.
While dealing with multiple WD components, you may come across a situation
where you need to reuse already developed parts of an existing Web dynpro
component.
The Web Dynpro framework provides you with a technique called Component
Usage, with the help of which you can reuse the events, methods, and context of
one WD component into another WD component.
Standard examples of Component Usage: Select Options , ALV , OVS.
You declare component usage both at the Component and at the view levels:
@Component Level:

@View Level:

Question 2: Briefly explain how will you use implement Select Options in

Web Dynpro?
1) Declare Component Usage for Standard WD component
WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS both at component and view level.

[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QsMVCqUUa80/T_MtX6fnE-
I/AAAAAAAAHIM/tT0OZgBaZXE/s1600/WD2.png]
2) Place a VIEWCONTAINER on your main view and embed the view
WND_SELECTION_SCREEN of component WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS in it.
[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-85qxoyxt5wk/T_Mt8m9olsI/AAAAAAAAHIU/4jum76-
DvyE/s1600/12.png]
3) Use the methods CREATE_RANGE_TABLE and ADD_SELECTION_FIELD for
your fields on Selection screen.
4) Use method GET_RANGE_TABLE_OF_SEL_FIELD to read user input before you
do a SELECT.
Question 3: What is the Web Dynpro Phase model?
Whenever a roundtrip occurs from the client (browser) to the server, a
sequence of processing steps is executed. This sequence of processing steps in
web Dynpro is called the Phase Model.
Executing all the tasks in the phase model is the responsibility of the Web
Dynpro framework.
Each step is executed only once and errors if any are captured.
If you want to get into the details , have a look at the webinar from Chris
Whealy: Understanding the Web Dynpro Phase model.
[http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2412]
Important
Question 4: What is OVS? Can you explain the different phases used in OVS?
First we should understand the difference between Value help and OVS i.e.
object Value Selector.
We use generic Value Help only for the field to which it is bound.
OVS is used when we want to populate multiple fields based on one field on the
screen.
LYrpB8SRTWc/T_MwpTygWCI/AAAAAAAAHIg/S4SCZl712P0/s1600/12.png]
So as per the screenshot , If I select Userid from OVS help, First name and Last
name will be populated automatically. The standard component WDR_OVS is
used for implementing OVS.
OVS works on the PHASE MODEL and different tasks are performed during
different phases.
The current phase is indicated by the parameter PHASE_INDICATOR.
Phase 1:
In this phase you have the possibility to define the texts, if you do not want to
use the defaults: So You can play around with the highlighted texts in the
screenshot below in this phase.
Here we call the method ovs_callback_object->Set_Configuration
qLuxVqtJMnU/T_MxUmDxr2I/AAAAAAAAHIo/6PlBakPCODM/s1600/12.png]
Phase 2:
If you do not want the filter fields, you can do that in this phase and the table will
be displayed directly. Refer screenshot below. The table is displayed directly. I
have blurred some results.Here you can call the method ovs_callback_object-
>Set_Input_Structure
PETVlUxelUE/T_MyGPxZVZI/AAAAAAAAHIw/phop_9TGiRk/s1600/12.png]
Phase 3:
In this Phase, You write the select queries that should run as per user input
when the user hits Start Search button and finally set the output table.You can
call the method ovs_callback_object->Set_Output_Table for that purpose.
Phase 4:
In this phase , you pass the selected record to the Web dynpro Fields.
i.e. set the attributes using ovs_callback_object->context_element-
>Set_Attribute

Y/s1600/12.png]
Question 5: Briefly explain how will you implement ALV in Web Dynpro?
To implement ALV in Web Dynpro, you need to use the Standard WD
component SALV_WD_TABLE.
We need to use:
a) the view TABLE of component SALV_WD_TABLE
b) the node DATA of component SALV_WD_TABLE.
Here is the brief process:
1) Declare component Usage for SALV_WD_TABLE at the WD component level
and the view level.
@ Component Level:
[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-91hqmJOtIyY/T_M5yvSw5QI/AAAAAAAAHJE/Pktvgx8QBic/s1600/12.
png]
@ View Level:
FYPxCZlrdlA/T_M8Hj47frI/AAAAAAAAHJM/83KYvWGgS40/s1600/12.png]
2) Put a VIEWCONTAINER UI element on the MAIN view and ember the view
TABLE of
SALV_WD_TABLE into it.

GII2S82YlpI/T_NBYghbb4I/AAAAAAAAHJg/_jnDWmOQAAo/s1600/12.png]
3) Lets say the ALV data is to be populated in NODE_FLIGHT.
Write the logic to select the ALV Data and bind it to NODE_FLIGHT:
node_flight_alv->BIND_TABLE( lt_node_flight_alv ).
4) Do a Context mapping between NODE_ALV and the node DATA of
SALV_WD_TABLE.

2.png]
Question 6: How to make columns in a table editable?
While doing the Binding for the Table, just choose 'Input field' instead of
'Textview'.
Refer the Screenshot below:
[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y59A4DPbBAc/T_NCaYy-
hbI/AAAAAAAAHJw/MIOi9bnoZ7Q/s1600/12.png]
iFyyTCGamGs/T_NCpWP0XVI/AAAAAAAAHJ4/GwTX19qYSNw/s1600/12.png]
Question 7: How will you delete selected rows in a Table / ALV?
Get the Table / ALV data in an internal table.
Delete the row selected by the user from the internal table.
Re-bind the internal table to the node bound to the Table/ALV.
HvC3Ki7L9L4/UNlapQNnerI/AAAAAAAAHNk/1G7Z_TKj700/s1600/Inbound+plugs+for+Window.PNG]
Question 8: How do you generate POP UP in WD?
This can be easily done using the Wizard:
The CREATE_WINDOW method is used in this case.
icMPQyhkyO0/T_NDfWzDxOI/AAAAAAAAHKA/B7ikKEWDCzY/s1600/12.png]
Question 9: How do you close a window in Web Dynpro?
There is a special outbound plug called Exit Plug that can be used for this purpose.
wd_this->fire_to_exit_plg( url = url close_window = close_window ).

I am going to add some more questions to part 3 :
Let me know if you need answers to the below questions by putting your comments
below:
Question: What is the difference between Drop down by key and drop down
by index ?
Question: How do you display error / success / warning messages in Web
Dynpro ?
Question: How do you access methods of component controller in a view ?
Question: Have you worked on roadmap UI element ? Elaborate .
Question: What is dynamic ALV in web dynpro ?
Question: Can you have Totals and Subtotals in Web dynpro ALV ? How ?
Hint: First get the reference of the ALV. Then get the columns.
By looping at lt_columns , get to the required column.
Once you achieve this, check methods create_aggr_rule and
create_sort_rule of the class
cl_salv_wd_field.
Question: Can you have TOP OF PAGE and END OF PAGE ? How ?
Hint: Check TOP_OF_LIST and END_OF_LIST events.
Question: Have you worked on events in ALV in web dynpro?
Which events do you know?

Hi Experts,
Here are the answers for few questions.
1.Can you add custom buttons in Web Dynpro ALV cells ? How?
2.Can you add Image / Icons in Web Dynpro ALV cells ? How?
3.Can you add links in Web Dynpro ALV cells ? How?
For all the above 3 questions here is the common answer.
Ans: Yes. We can add Custom buttons, Image / Icons and links in Web Dynpro ALV
cells by using Table cell editor property.
For example you have designed a table in view layout with 4 fields. Now you want to
add button in 1 field (Column). Now you can select 1 column of that field and right
click on that and click on Insert Cell Editor then popup box will show then give ID
which you want and select Typ as Button hit enter then maintain properties of button.
Similarly for Image / Icon and Links and etc.
4.How do you access methods of component controller in a view ?
Ans: We can access methods of component controller by using
WD_COMP_CONTROLLER attribute. It will refer component controller. Syntax:
