This blog is about one of the apparently hottest and most controversial topics on SDN: The T-Shirts given out as gratification for active participation in the community and the difficulties one may encounter in actually obtaining them. As the... Read More »

Towards the end of the Dynamic Proxies in ABAP Part 3: Code Generation we had figured out the XSL transformation for generating a skeleton implementation of a dynamic proxy class from its XML description. Without further ado I will now present the... Read More »

Working with 6.20 based systems mostly, I only recently became aware of a little enhancement in newer releases that opens up interesting possibilities. As of release 6.40 you can define types within an interface: Formerly, this was only possible... Read More »

Using the results from the previous blog, we are ready to tackle the next point on our agenda, i.e. obtaining the canonical XML representation of the proxy descriptor structure that will later drive the code generation. But first we need to provide... Read More »

The first point on the agenda we made up in the last weblog calls for using ABAP’s RTTI-classes to get a description of all the  interfaces the proxy has to implement. To put this plan into action, basically all we have to do is retrieve... Read More »

With version 1.3 dynamic proxy classes  were introduced into Java’s reflection package. An instance of a dynamic proxy class implements a list of interfaces specified at runtime and dispatches method invocations through one of these... Read More »

Often you have the situation that an algorithm does not depend on the specific type of the data it processes, but only on certain common features all data types in question must expose. One way to express this circumstance is to use OO polymorphism... Read More »

As was pointed out in a recent web log,  one nice thing about ABAP is its built-in support for dynamic programming techniques, particularly program generation. However, a common problem one faces in this context is how to actually construct... Read More »
