Making a vaadin application production ready

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Hello,

Whilst I have been working in software development for a while I am very new Vaadin.
I have been working on a site for a client which is complete and we are now taking the steps to put it into production.

The application has been deployed but I’m supprised by certain things and think I have have just missed something in config etc in Vaadin for deployment.

I.e.

javascript: The files are not minified, concat’d or uglyfied. I’d expect this to be done when setting to production more, is there a setting in Vaadin that does this OR do I have to add it as part of the maven build myself?

css: Again no concatanation or minification.

I might have missed something but I have used other web frameworks that have this sort of functionality built in, is this not the case with Vaadin??

Thanks

I suggest you to use maven archetype for skeletton of your project.

Maven with archetype
vaadin-archetype-application
 also create module
-production
 which are fulfils to your requirements (will compress js and css).

Production mode in Vaadin can enabled through annotation for servlet com.vaadin.annotations.VaadinServletConfiguration
or with same key through web.xml
