Using Deep structure in UI Context

[DrSidewalk]

Has anyone ever used a Deep structure when defining a UI component context?.

I wondered if this had ever been done before or whether anyone knows of an existing SAP UI component that may have a deep structure used in the Context.

I have a Sales Ordered extension table containing a RAWSTRING type which is filled with XML data. We can use TRANSFORMATION to convert this XML data to a deep structure, but then there's the issue of displaying this info on the UI screen and in Context.

Has anyone any pointers?.

Yeah, not at all easy is it.

Have looked at using the subclass cl_bsp_wd_context_node_DTV, but this does not really do what I want. Although I will point out that there's surprisingly little information on this subclass and its usage.

Populated data in a deep structure attribute of the Component controller and then accessed this data via other Views BSP code.

Had to change the if_bsp_controller~fill_values method for each of the views though as I'm using no Contexts. Therefore no context or value nodes are used.
Seems to work, but not recommended. I can't see any other way though if you're loading, displaying, editing, saving XML data to the Sales order extension tables.
