Hello Richard I did something similar. I wanted a way to connect forms to a groovy scripts, so I could create generic tasks that can be configured by users at runtime. What I did:
1 Create a vaadin app. This is pretty much a standalone thing. 2 Add the vaadin jar and the vaadin servlet at Configuration > server > filters > servlets (see attachment) 3 create a link in the adminInterface module > config > menu > tools menu to the app (in an iframe to the right) (see attachment) hopes this helps regards, -- Ernst Bunders Ontwikkelaar VPRO modules/extensions for Magnolia – > nothing really CMS related, more things to interface with our customer’s > existing IT. > > > > To avoid having to rewrite everything in a few months for magnolia 5, we > would like to implement the GUIs in Vaadin from the start. > > > > The question is: how? > > > > I’ve looked at Vaadin, done some tutorials, and have my GUI working outside > of Magnolia. > > I’ve looked at the new magnolia-module-admincentral-vaadin. > > > > So I have 2 Questions: > > > > 1) What’s the right way to integrate new Vaadin-based GUI components? > > > > What I’m doing would have been implemented as a “page” in the old > adminCentral.
