ABAP Objects - Percent of WF'ers using ABAP OO? ( zip zilch nada ZERO people using ABAP OO with WF? )

[Alfano, Judy (ISO)]

I hesitated to respond because though I am using ABAP OO with Workflow,
I'm no expert so I'm sure I'm not using it to it's full advantage. But
it's been great! Like Gretchen I now use ABAP OO for new development and
changes, but we still have a lot of BOR in place.

I use the OO exits!  They are great!  There is also a ton of stuff you
can accomplish in the binding when you call OO methods to populate
container values.   So many background tasks can be avoided!
 
For new requests I almost always create classes instead of using BOR
objects.   I do experience a small amount of guilt when I re-invent the
wheel--but it is a much better wheel.   Mostly my workflows are a
combination of both--many tasks calling old BOR methods and many calling
OO methods.  Too time consuming to go back and rewrite everything but
when I need to do generic work I will always use my new generic OO
methods.

Hey Wug'ers

Honestly, I really expected a few more results on WF folks using ABAP
OO. I see so much potential for adding it to the skill sets. Even if you
don't use full ABAP Objects, just using a simple Program Exit class ( in
a very simple class even ) has been useful for me. Program Exits, you
can catch internal Task events. Like, if someone Logically Deletes a WF,
without it, it is just done. With something like zcl_CompleteProcess
hung off the template, will still execute the code. Very useful for me. 

Humph! Interesting.
