Include one app in another?

dominik_auras — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:20:21 GMT

Hi,

is it possible to include one app in another app?

The problem is:

I want to display details of an entity (with dynamic display of its attributes) in different kind of ways.

One time standalone.

One time in an approval task.

One time in an approval task displayed after selected in a list.

One time in an approval process.

And maybe some other scenarios....

So in the end I don't want to build (and maintain!) my dynamic app multiple times!

Is there any example or solution for something like this?

Thanks and kind regards,

Dominik

SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit

I think you have seen a lot

sap.ui.getCore().attachInit(function () {
   new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer({
name : "sap.ui.demo.wt"
   }).placeAt("content");

   });

component(like in web dynpro) is the reusable unit. in the component you can return your view in method createcontent. any place you want to put your view, just use that code(new a component)

Okay, thank you.

But how do I have to refer to an other application/component?

Will he find the application by name!?

.... If I give the ComponentContainer a name of an application I got an error like:

Uncaught Error: resource zv/research/embed/view/View1.view.xml could not be loaded from ./view/View1.view.xml. Check for 'file not found' or parse errors.

var oComp = sap.ui.getCore().createComponent( {

name : "yourcomponentname",//example : sap.demo.wt

id : "Comp3",

url : "url of the application to be integrated"// example: /sap.com~yourapp~****/

});

var oCompCont = new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer("CompCont3", {

component : oComp

});

Uncaught Error: failed to load 'zv/application/dummy02/Component.js' from ../../resources/zv/application/dummy02/Component.js: 404 - Not Found

sap.ui.define([
  "sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller"
], function(Controller) {
  "use strict";


  return Controller.extend("zv.research.embed.controller.View1", {

  // Called by Button
  onTest: function(){
  var oCompCont = new sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer("CompCont", {
  name: "zv.application.dummy02"
  // url: "/zv/application/dummy02"
  });
  oCompCont.placeAt("__xmlview0--myContent");
  }

  });
});

My View-Controller.


<mvc:View controllerName="zv.research.embed.controller.View1" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
  xmlns="sap.m">
  <App>
  <pages>
  <Page title="{i18n>title}" id="myContent">
  <content>
  <Text text="zv.research.embed - View1"></Text>
  <Button text="Do something special!" press="onTest"></Button>
  </content>
  </Page>
  </pages>
  </App>
</mvc:View>

My View.

For more information:

I am testing in Web IDE.

zv.application.dummy02 is a application in my Web IDE.

I want to embed it in my view.

in the component, did you return the view?

/resources/zv/application/dummy02/Component.js is this one pointing to your component?

Re: Include one app in another?

dominik_auras — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 14:41:26 GMT

No ... I didn't know that I have to.

In general I think that first there is another problem, that the component couldn't be found as there is an 404 error ....

Isn't there any example for including Components/Applications in an Application out there.....?!

.....hanatrial.ondemand.com/resources/zv/application/dummy02/Component.js

Leads to: HTTP Status 503 ...

I don't use eclipse and tomcat!

I think it must also be possible in SAP Web IDE!
