Hi,
I am using Viritin Forms and I want to programmatically add Vaadin fields to that form.
Since Viritin/Vaadin binds the field using either its variable name or the @PropertyId annotation,
I need to create a real Java field for the Vaadin field. Otherwise, binding seems to be problematic.
Binding should happen to a field of a JPA class.
My thoughts were to use Javassist to create the required Java fields on the fly (that is: at runtime,
and based on the annotations of the JPA class).
However, this should happen before the Form class is loaded (if I modify the class afterwards, I get a “attempted duplicate class definition” exception.
I also used CDI to create the form.
My question now is: how can I change the Form class (that is: adding Java fields to it) before the class is loaded.
Thanks for any help.
Best,
JG
