How to develop Web Dynpro for Java and run it locally

[Former Member]

I want to learn Web Dynpro for Java but still struggling with the running it locally in my PC. What software do I need to install in my own PC in order to do that? I have NWDS in place and I can write the code and compile it already. Thanks!

Hi Anthony,

You need to have SAP Web Application server (SAP WAS) to run all the webdynpro applications. WAS can be installed either on your local system or on a server which can act as a central server.

You can download WAS from SDN, which is a trial version. Check this link.

For checking the minimul system requirments for installing WAS please check the PAM (Product Availability Matrix).

I hope this solves you issue. Please revert back in case you need any further information on this.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks Pravesh,

I am downloading the file

EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 - Preview Version SAP Evaluation Software from

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/00846edd-355b-2b10-f38c-df94ec96eb74

Is that the right file?

Hi Anthony,

Ya that is fine however make sure that you are developing the application on the compatible NWDS. Which means that your NWDS should also be for EHP1 release. Otherwise you might face some compatible issues while deploying the application to the server.

I hope this solves the issue.

Thanks and Regards,
