we would like to explore vaadin incrementally and wonder if following would be possible.
Present scenario:
existing servlet based web app
- uses jsp for view (jsp is largely placeholder for funky javascript and brandign, most of the html markup is emitted by applying xslt on xml)
- traditional servlet filters and handlers et. al. are used a lot.
Target scenario:
add new functionality onto the existing web app, by using vaadin.
Options we are exploring are
Option 1:
can vaadin selectively delegate the markup generation (for some actions) to another handler completely ? so we can use this approach for keeping part of existing application intact ?
Option 2:
If above is not feasible, can we do XHR or IFRAME based integration for existing components, which we do not wish to port over to vaadin fwrk immediately
Questions:
What is the best approach, if above is feasible at all ?
can vaadin co-exist with existing application as well ?
Appreciate all your help.
Rgds,
Deepak
