How to create a Popup (without URL?)

Deleted User

Hey guys,

here's my next problem I'm facing :)

Once a user is logged in in my application, he shell be able to click on a button, and then a popup is opened in which he enters some input.

How can I create such kind of a popup?

I would prefer if it can be created without giving it an URL, because wouldn't this mean that everyone (also logged out users etc.) could access the popup by simply adding the URL in their browser?

I would be very happy if someone of you could share his/her experience with me :)

Thanks a lot.

The URL is required but is not a security issue. Popup windows belong to the same user session as the main window. Vaadin tracks sessions using cookies.

Do you want a popup within the page (see Window.addWindow()) or a top-level browser window? A URL is only required in the latter case, in which case see Marko's comments.
