Are there any good arguments for using Java Web Dynpro over ABAP Web Dynpro? I've heard that the Java version is more mature by about 18 months because Dynpro was made for Java, and then ABAP devs wanted it once they saw it working.

So, everytime I needed to debug the RFC, I just inserted: ...

Since upgrading from 4.7 to ECC6 the ABAP compiler has become a lot stricter on the use of certain statements in the OO context. For instance you're not allowed to use the statement LIKE, but in stead have to use TYPE and internal tables does not have an implicit header line, etc. These restrictions are explained in greater detail here...
Months after my company has upgraded from 4.6c to ECC6.0, our team of programmers are still coding in the traditional 4.7c way.

My question would be: 1) When do people in your ...
