Improved FormSender for Vaadin 6

Component for simulating form submits using POST or GET

This add-on enabled you to submit invisible forms on client side. It supports POST and GET requests and allows you to set arbitrary form attributes, the target URL and target attribute of the form.

It is a fork of the FormSender add-on which was not further developed for Vaadin 6. This fork adds the following methods to the FormSender component:

• setFormTarget(...)
• setFormAction(...)

Sample code

FormSender formSender = new FormSender(FormSender.Method.POST) {{
	setFormAction("https://myhost/mypath");
	setFormTarget("_blank");
	addValue("username", "foo");
	addValue("password", "bar");
}};

window.addComponent(formSender);

formSender.submit();
