Hey there! Currently I am struggeling on how - and if - to use attributes in a class that uses an interface. In the past - when I designed an object - I used an interface and added the attributes I needed. Then a colleague stated that Interfaces should not have attributes for the following reasons: all attributes will be PUBLIC the implementing class should define by itself which attributes it uses  I know that the opinions about PUBLIC attributes are widely spread. Some say, that a class should not have any PUBLIC attributes. All data accesses should be done by GETTER methods. Others (like me) state that PUBLIC attributes are easy and flexible to use. Attributes can be easily changed. If I use GET and SET methods, then I will have the following two options: read the data with GET method, store it in a local variable, and change the attribute by using the SET method. Provide a special method for a change of that specific field. Option 1 makes manipulating the data of the object more difficult as it could be. The 2nd option requires that the object knows in advance what data the caller will be going to change. I understand that providing GETTER and SETTER methods for a class is useful because the object has full control of it's data. The data cannot be manipulated so that some data might get invalid. But in 20 years of ABAP programming I have not often experienced that it was necessary that an object has the only control over its data. Quite contrary to the experience that I as a caller of classes could not do the things that could be possible if the objects data was PUBLIC. btw: Access by GETTER method is 100-150% slower than direct access of PUBLIC attributes... What are your experiences, your thoughts and opinions about this topic? Thanks ~Enno ... View more

Hello everyone, Do you want to see SAPUI5 Smart Controls (sap.ui.comp library) as part of OpenUI5? If yes, I’d be glad to hear your opinion on that. We had already enquiries via different channels (e.g. github). As this is huge undertaking and we have lots of open questions I’d be glad if you could share your experience and opinion on following questions: What are the typical use cases when you use smart controls? Which are the controls you use most from the library? Any control’s functionality in particular, that you find helpful? On the other hand, perhaps there are functionalities that you don't really need in your use cases. Apart from OData, do you have other backend protocols that you use? Did you have the need to use only the logic that analyzes OData annotations? For instance, because you utilized another rendering technology. Am I missing something in the list above? Please, add it in the comments. You can also check out this post for a bit more context. Thank you!   ... View more

Why here would I post this here?  I mean I could have posted a question.  This is all about what you prefer to use.   Not really what is recommended.   What do you use to interface with third-party software?   And why?  This is with the integration  suite and without it.  Of course some of us do not have the integration suite - like me.   So I can't say anything about it good or bad. ...
