The JavaEE Vaadin Addon helps you to build a JavaEE 6 based Vaadin Application fast. It supports the following features: - CDI support through CDI-Utils (https://vaadin.com/directory#addon/cdi-utils:vaadin) - Fixed standard layout of a web application with left side menu - Navigation through pages is done by sending CDI events - CRUD support for JPA entities (through JPA or other services): - Create a container by just subclassing JPAEntityContainer or ServiceContainer - Create a Table for all entities by just subclassing BasicEntityTable (you can set the visible columns you like) - Create a search Form by just subclassing BasicSearchForm and set the columns you want to include in the search - Create a edit form by just subsclasses BasicEditForm and set the columns you want to edit - Dependent entities are just accessed through their path (e.g. for the customers street "address.street") - Extended formatting - Extended Field creation (automatic field types derived from attribute types) Tested and used with Hibernate 4 in JBoss 7.1. For an example on how to use it, have a look at https://github.com/thomasletsch/javaee-addon-sample. The JavaEE Addon is still very early Alpha and CDI is not quite working. A more stable version is expected in April '13. The JavaEE Addon is compatible to Vaadin 7!
