I think what I am seeking to use for Vaadin Grid is the BeanItemContainer as described in:
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.
