BeanItemContainer not in Book of Vaadin 8 ?

BeanItemContainer is for Vaadin 7. Vaadin 8 you don't use containers any more.

The old Vaadin6/7 way to do the Grid data population would've been something like this:

Grid grid = new Grid();
BeanItemContainer<MyPojo> itemContainer = new BeanItemContainer<>(MyPojo.class);
items.addAll(myPojoProviderService.getAllMyPojos());
grid.setContainerDataSource(itemContainer);

The new an IMO much improved way of doing it in Vaadin 8

Grid<MyPojo> grid = new Grid<>();
grid.setItems(myPojoProviderService.getAllMyPojos());

Johannes, THANK YOU!  

For some reason, jetty is not functioning, and I have tried re-installing Eclipse a few times.  So, shall now have to re-format my OS and re-install everything.

Cannot wait to try what you share above.  Thank you.

I am so hoping Vaadin is what I perceive or rather DREAM it to be, a replacement in JAVA for Delphi RAD framework component based programming.

Question:  Is Vaadin the only component based framework in java?

Hi Johannes, please what does

myPojoProviderService.getAllMyPojos()

represent in actual use?

My DAO bean name is sqlDAO.java
I only have two java files, MainUI.java which is a Vaadin 8 Archetype and my sqlDAO.java

Well that was just a sample I came up with. I mean whatever is your data source that provides you a list of data objects.

Thank you.  I know that it is a straight forward Vaadin method to connect remote data to a Vaadin Grid.  I just need to discover it ONCE, then I can expand with the Book of Vaadin and online searches.

I am re-creating my JSF web app and a vanilla Vaadin 8 Archetype -- with the hope that I can connect my remote data to a Vaadin Grid.

Shall reply within the next 30 minutes.

Thank you.
