Hello,
I would like to use some external libraries at runtime, knowing filename,class name and class members.
This classes should have a GUI and elaboration method.
I was wondering about a
public static Component initUI()
in a JAR file maybe but I cannot import Vaadin Components.
How can I implement this behaviour? Importing another web application maybe?
Thank you very much
Marco
Some are doing something like this using OSGi - see e.g.
http://floriansblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/09/redvaadin-eos-earlyresults/
or

.
However, all the client side code needs to be compiled into a single widgetset in advance, so you have to know in advance which (client-side) add-ons you will be supporting.
Hi marco,
as henri mentioned, we are using OSGi in our redVoodo project to do exactly what you are looking for.
There is a detailed description how to setup an OSGi environment with vaadin addons.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
