Combining Web Dynpro (to create state-of-the-art, Web-based business applications) and SAP NetWeaver Portal (to securely deliver applications to users) can provide more robust results than simply creating an iView in the portal to display the application. Instead, you can build professional portal systems that provide users with the best of both technologies: appealing, secure, and dynamic applications that you can quickly customize. Using an example, this article demonstrates how a tight coupling of Web Dynpro and SAP NetWeaver Portal allows you to create sophisticated, state-of-the-art portal applications.
