      MVC(Model View Controller) is a methodology. I use MVC methodology when i create components using JSPDynPage or DynPage by introducing bean.

      Hi Guru,

      thanks for this compact comparison table. One correction from my side:

      In Web Dynpro the session management is totally handled by the Web Dynpro Java Runtime and not by the application developer. This is a fundamental simplification and another feature for avoiding programming errors.

      Regards, Bertram
