    (2) IS UI5 is replacement of Webdynpro.

    No, UI5 is a JavaScript UI Library. UI5 lets you build enterprise-ready web applications, responsive to all devices, running on almost any browser of your choice. It’s based on JavaScript, using JQuery as its foundation and follows web standards. It eases your development with a client-side HTML5 rendering library including a rich set of controls and supports data binding to different models (JSON, XML and OData) With respect to END user you may quite true. But for a developer WebDynpro and UI5 are two different UI technologies.

    (1) Is Webdynpro plays role like Servlets and JSP for middle ware programming? Not Exactly, Web Dynpro ABAP is the SAP standard UI technology for developing Web applications in the ABAP environment. It consists of a runtime environment and a graphical development environment with special Web Dynpro tools that are integrated in the ABAP Workbench.It enables you to build business applications, which means that you can’t change the look and feel with embedded HTML or Java Script.

    关于UI5和SAP GUI的疑问，来自百度知道的一个问答，感觉回答的很到位，借鉴。
    问：sap UI5能否代替alv?
    答：楼主的问题类比的范围不太一样. 应该说UI5能不能替代 GUI. 从易用性来说UI5的优势还是很明显的,比如跨平台,自适应,界面美观什么的. 但这只针对用户来说是这样的. 而企业实施一般更注重的是效率,稳定性,等这些很实际的东西.GUI经过这么多年的优化,在效率和稳定性上面是很优秀的. 另外,UI5的实施人天,会显著高于传统的ERP实施. 因为正常的ABAP开发.技术人员更多的是关注业务逻辑的实现.而UI5页面需要单独开发设计,并且.还需要有专门的接口去访问(如ODATA)所以总体来说UI5只能说是一个趋势. 但现在说替代. 还有点过早.
