xBCML (Extensible Business Client Markup Language)

without comments

In SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Enhp1 a new xml rendering technology is introduced. The xml rendering is called xBCML – Extensible Business Client Markup Language. The xml will contain the description of the UI elements and their properties which is send to the client using HTTP(S). The purpose of this new protocol is to be able to send rendering information to Smart clients built in e.g FLEX, Silverlight or SAP’s own Business Client. Does this mean that existing WebDynpro applications should be changed? The answer is no – existing WebDynpro application can also be rendered using xBCML without any changes.
