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. Links: * [Vaadin Spring API](https://vaadin.com/api/vaadin-spring/) * [Vaadin Spring Tutorial](http://vaadin.github.io/spring-tutorial/) * [Example application](https://github.com/Vaadin/spring-tutorial) * https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Spring%20Integration (on Vaadin 6) * https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Vaadin+Spring 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**: * Add `vaadin-spring` as maven dependency * `CdmVaadinConversationalServlet`, `StatusEditorUI`, `ConceptRelationshipUI`, `ConceptRelationshipUIRedirect`, `CheckTestUI`, `D3CTreeUI` which are exteding `VaadinServlet` must no longer be used or need to 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 * The inner `VaadinServlet` classes of the UI Classes can be replaced by the annotation `@SpringUI(path="/myPath")`
