Window 

Definition

A window groups together multiple views and view sets. A view can only be displayed by the browser if it has been embedded in a window. A window always contains one or more views, which are connected by navigation links. One of these views, or a view set, is specified as the start view and is displayed the first time the window is called.

Interface View

Each window has a uniquely assigned interface view. This interface view represents the outward view of the window. The interface view is linked with a Web Dynpro application so that the window can be called using a URL.

 

Furthermore, the interface view enables windows to be reused by multiple components (see also, Web Dynpro Component Interfaces). This means that in addition to all component-specific views, the interface views of windows of all components that are known by the current component (that is, for which a component use has been created) can be embedded in a window. Just like the view, the interface view has inbound plugs and outbound plugs and can be integrated in navigation structure of another window using these plugs. (See also Web Dynpro Component).

Each view can be displayed only once in the current window at the same time; this also applies to an interface view of a used component. It is possible, however, to declare several uses for one and the same component. In this way, you can display an interface view multiple times.
