Seems like your looking for
Embedded , if I understood your needs correctly. You can embed pictures, external sites, pdf’s, flash, etc. with the Embedded component. Look in the
Book of Vaadin for instructions of use - in the bottom, section 5.15.3.
Lucky enough most of the com.vaadin.ui match more or less exactly to thinwire.ui so should be easy to fix. When it comes to action handling I already use actionlisteners but my current way of handling view action updates would have to be changed.
Probably to the better, since it feelt like I hacked my thinwire view code to get it to work my way.
Inspired by the
Songs og Vaadin and the not so obvious discordian eris connection I will be happy to help anyone interesting in creating a Suomen fork of CIA. Finland is way cooler since they don’t have a useless king.
All the information should be available from
http://www.eduskunta.fi Pretty easy java code to change to make it work But I am only pissed off with the swedish ones, mostly anyway so it have to be a fork…
Good to hear your transition is progressing. As it is, me and a friend of mine have been playing with the idea of creating a portal that would server the data from eduskunta.fi in a more meaningful way. The current site and its information isn’t the easiest to grasp for the common citizen.
I’ll have to check your project and get back to you, if I think I have the time to start / maintain a fork of CIA.
Happy to help you the day you get some time, mostly
Agent Importers that need to be changed to import data from eduskunta.fi .
Anyway might take some time before CIA 1.0 is released and probably easier to make a fork once the code/test is improved.
The vaadin transition will probably take about a week, willl go live with demo online at www.riksdagsmonitor.com before 14 October this month. Some screenshots at Sourceforge and on blog at
CIA wordpress .
To bad the development stopped on thinwire or became very slow, but now it’s deleted from my stack
Happy with the way vaadin works out, still prototyping out views. Have initial versions covering admin screens with basic list and forms of most objects in the model.
Look at
Javadoc with UML . navigationview , container, & form for vaadin ui components.
Will try keeping version 1.0 small enough to deliver the next few month, plan to stabilise in time for the election in September 2010.
Hosting on amazon ec2, will investigate the Google App Engine at some point but extremly happy with Amazon aws and enjoy using the firefox plugin elasticfox.
