I just got started with my first “hello world” Vaadin app. Having a setup which includes maven, spring security, JPA and now JRebel I just can’t wait to get serious. However, I’m wondering how I will achieve some very basic requirement with my project which are:
I need to have two different apps: one for regular users, the other for admins
In the admin app, I need to enable access to an editable user properties page for a specific user with a parameter-passing URL which would include the user’s ID and perhaps some other information.
Other said:
I guess I cannot have two different Vaadin applications in the same webapp, or can I?
Is it possible to map urls to a Vaadin app that would extract the URL’s parameters to pass on to a service or a customizing init() method for instance?
You can have more than one Vaadin app in one war: vaadin app is just a servlet, you can always register two or more servlets (I didn’t tried this but should work)
In your case you can have just two application level windows (in one app):
YourApplicationClass#init(){
Window mainWindow = new MainWindow();
setMainWindow(mainWindow);
Window adminWindow = new AdminWindow();
adminWindow.setName(“admin”)
addWindow(adminWindow);
}
