sap.ui.core.XMLComposite - deprecated?

[former_member13323]

Hi guys,

Noticed that the sap.ui.core.XMLComposite control is now deprecated. What's the reason for this and what would be the recommendations going forward as it's replacement? The usual custom controls?

Thanks.

What was the performance penalty for using this control ? Is there something we can avoid the performance penalty when using this control ? Any plan to replace it ?

Hello Samuel,

we had to deprecate the XMLComposite due to major performance issues inside larger applications. Sadly there is no (planned) replacement for this control and therefore the only solution would be to create a custom control.

Hi janikkoeppel

by custom control, do you also mean the standard composite control?

Hi sperstorfer,

yes exactly the mentioned implementation should do just fine and should perform better than the XMLComposite.

Hello janikkoeppel

Do we have somewhere a demo or a sample showing how to use a fragment for the custom Control view ?
Migrating to this standard control, I must implement a renderer, which is by far less convenient than my previous XML View...which was precisely the point of this XMLComposite feature.

thanks for any guidance

Hello chrisdugne,

If I understand your first question correctly there is sadly no such thing as a fragment view for custom Controls. You indeed have to implement a renderer. I would suggest extending the standard composite control which got mentioned in a previous comment. You indeed have to implement a renderer to achieve the same result as before.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Janik
