html template component

Hello. I want to make a component container. It should accept html markup as string, some components, put the markup uto page and inject those components into it by IDs. I have made some almost "working" example:  https://github.com/asdnf/VaadinTemplater but  the button click in the example is never bein called. It even does not log into client console. I suppose it has not being bound to it's handler. Please help me to understand how to properly make component contsiners. I suppose there is a lot of other mistakes.

Hi,

I'd suggest to consider following pattern:

1.  use some templating library like Velocity or Freemarker on the server side
2. Use it to produce html, that you feed to CustomLayout, use the constructor that eats you template as InputStream
3. Place dynamic parts (Vaadin components) to your CustomLayout

If I understood your requriements correctly, I think this is the best possible way to accomplish this.

cheers,
matti
