Do-it-yourself ALV: Customizable tables in Web Dynpro for Java
Nearly in every new web development project I hear the requirement to provide tables with customizable layouts. This ability is known by customers from the SAP ERP world as an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) and is always wanted in web UIs. Unfortunately, such a functionality is only available in Web Dynpro for ABAP and in the Visual Composer CE 7.1 so far. There is no such widget in the Web Dynpro for Java. The most important functionality of ALV is the ability to hide unneeded columns of the table. The user can easily select columns important in his working context. That also helps to avoid horizontal scroll bar in case of very long tables. In this blog I will show how to implement such a functionality generically to be able to use it later with 3 lines of code on every table placed in the Web Dynpro for Java view.

Accelerating ABAP Development with Power of Scripts, Templates, Cockpits, Code Generators & Runtime Engines - Part I
The SAP software development involves implementation of increasingly complex applications. The standard programming techniques that use 3GL languages like ABAP are a little help in making the development process faster and developed applications smaller and easier to maintain. This document describes how to accelerate ABAP development by at least an order of magnitude with power of 4GL scripts, templates, cockpits, code generators and/or runtime engines. The same techniques apply to other development environments and languages; e.g., Java, C/C++.

Timeless Software: Part 2
The need for maximum efficiency and flexibility of expression in content creation has led to a proliferation of programming languages. The resulting heterogeneous language landscapes present challenges to optimize execution at run-time. Run-time efficiencies can be achieved by separating meaning from optimization and managing state across layers of abstraction. Finally, maintaining security and reliability in the face of constant change and adaptation requires a powerful and flexible lifecycle management system.
