I have a strange issue. I have a vaadin application with multiple window support, I have followed the instructions on the wiki to enable multiple window support by overriding the getWindow method. This works great when I access the application from multiple browser tabs/windows.
I however run into a strange problem when I embed this application into an iframe. I have a portlet that embeds a url into an iframe. If i use the same application it works fine if I have one instance of the portlet on the page, however if I place 2 or more strange things start happening.
Sometimes it just works, but most of the time I start getting invalid security key errors when I interact with the app on a portlet that wasn’t the last one loaded. Looking into this, when it doesn’t work I am getting multiple application instances created, which from my understanding should not happen. As I look through the AbstractApplicationServlet code it appears that I might have a concurrency issue where applications are not created yet when a new request is coming in, and hence a new application is created. Does this sound like a possibility, or does anyone have any ideas what may cause this behavior to occur. The path is the same as these are the same application.
**UPDATE
This is reproducible with a simple html file using iframe. The html file looks like this.
<html>
