While building a newsportal i need to show a video next to an article. We have a video provider that provides us with video player js widgets to embed in the html.
In vaadin i tried to embed with Label or CustomLayout:
When i click on an article, the articleview opens without a video. While the actual script tags are there when i use “inspect element” in firebug. But the player is not called. Also tried . But nothing happened there either.
Is there any other way to embed native javascript ‘widgets’ in Vaadin?
Browsers have a security feature that they do not normally execute scripts in dynamically injected HTML fragments.
You can execute JS commands with, for example, mainWindow.executeJavaScript(“alert()”). That doesn’t however, insert a script at a particular position in the document.
You can include JS libraries by inserting the code in the HTML header in a custom ApplicationServlet. That just loads them at the startup of the application so that you can call them later.
You may need to make a custom integration widget with GWT.
An easyish workaround would be to make a static page/servlet/URIHandler that includes the script tag, and then embed that with Embedded component inside an iframe.
