Component Model

By dividing software projects into components, you can organize them right from the start in comprehensible and reusable units. Components can use other components in a well-defined and controlled manner, can encapsulate child components, and can publish their functions in a set of public interfaces called public parts. These features are applied in the component model.

Implementation Considerations

If you use the development infrastructure, you must work with components to be able to use all types of development projects including Web Dynpro.

Integration

The component model is independent of the used technology and can easily be integrated into different languages and platforms. In contrast to other techniques, such as COM/DCOM, it is based on dividing the sources of a software into components, which makes it platform-independent.

Development infrastructure and SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio offer unrestricted support to the development with components..
