Description
Vaadin Spring Addon
The Vaadin Spring integration library helps you build amazing Vaadin based user interfaces on top of your high quality Spring based enterprise backend. Your UI classes become Spring managed beans, allowing you to autowire Spring based services directly into your UI code.

The features of Vaadin Spring include:
- First class support for Spring Boot
- Vaadin UI, View and component classes can be Spring managed beans and utilise the IoC container provided by Spring core
- @SpringUI annotated classes are automatically published, no need to manually introduce a servlet
- Vaadin Navigator support for View classes annotated with @SpringView *Scopes for Vaadin UIs and Views
- Using the @Autowired annotation in Vaadin UI code
- Push support
TODO:
THE BOOK OF VAADIN (2016-04-19) IS OUTDATED REGARDING VAADIN-SPRING!
Therefore the below conclusions may not be up to date.

which are extendingVaadinServlet
must be modified (see Book of Vaadin, 12.18.4. Preparing Application for Spring) Since we need need multiple servlets with custom configuration see Section 12.18.8, “Deploying Spring UIs and Servlets” is important for us- CdmVaadinConversationalServlet: needs to extend SpringVaadinServlet
- UI Classes:
- The inner
VaadinServlet
classes of the UI Classes need to extendSpringVaadinServlet
- the
@VaadinServletConfiguration
needs to be removed. Q: How can the widgetset be configured? (The other attributes are obsolete.) A: Use the@WidgetSet
at the type level.
- The inner
- The
@Scope
annotation at theDetailWindow
must be replaced by@ViewScope
or by@UIScope
if this annotation is really still relevant. - A couple of Views are evaluating the Spring Security Context. These classes are using the static method
SecurityContextHolder.getContext()
to get the context. This can most probably be replaced byViewAccessControl
orViewInstanceAccessControl
, which can restrict access to the view either before or after a view instance is created. (See Book of Vaadin 12.18.7. Access Control ) - The
CdmSpringContextHelper
no longer needs to provide the Springbeans by the bean id when usingvaadin-spring
. Through spring-vaadin injection of spring beans works. Springbeans can be @Autowired. TheCdmSpringContextHelper
should be replaced by the Repository View addressed in #3320 - I attempted to refactor cdm-vaading accordingly but giving up on this, due to the complexity and variety of the 'design patterns' that have been used: cdm-vaadin|a735bbb

UPDATE:
Vaadin, the polyglot framework for building web apps with UI components, released version 1.1 of their Vaadin Spring project.
There are two new features related to Vaadin’s Navigator class and View interface:
- A new SpringNavigator class
- A new @SpringViewDisplay annotation
The SpringNavigator class “greatly simplifies the configuration of views” and the @SpringViewDisplay annotation “can be used to mark the target Vaadin component, where your views should actually be displayed.”
There were also a number of bug fixes including serialization of HTTP sessions using Vaadin Spring.
Also potentially interesting is the webinar mentioned in that news post: https://vaadin.com/blog/-/blogs/spring-boot-a-perfect-platform-for-a-vaadin-ui
