Web Dynpro (WD) is a proprietary web application user interface technology developed by SAP AG and exists in a Java (Web Dynpro for Java, WDJ or WD4J) and an ABAP (Web Dynpro ABAP, WDA or WD4A) flavor.
Java WEB Dynpro was created prior to Web Dynpro for ABAP, but was not very successful. As of 2010, Web Dynpro for Java is effectively dead, and all effort is spent on Web Dynpro for ABAP.
WD follows an adapted MVC pattern and a model driven development approach ("minimize coding, maximize design") with a large number of dedicated hooks in generated code to place custom coding. It is intended for business applications that follow standardized UI principles, connect to backend systems and are scalable.

Famous quotes containing the word web:
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
