ChatBox

A chat component for Vaadin

Close

ChatBox lets people chat with each other.

To keep the chat updating in real-time, you probably want to use the server push (available from Vaadin 7.1.0 onwards) when using this component. https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Enabling%20server%20push

Sample code

    // A static variable so that everybody gets the same instance.
    private static SharedChat chat= new SharedChat();
    
    @Override
    public void init() {
        ChatBox cb = new ChatBox(chat);
        ChatUser user = ChatUser.newUser("Pertti Pasanen");
        cb.setUser(user);
        layout.addComponent(cb);
    }
