vaadin support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Any plans to integrate vaadin in the project? It would be a nice addition to 
the current supported gwt-based frameworks. A working example could be found in 
the addons section of vaadin called Coverflow. It describes how vaadin could be 
integrated in flex.

I m definitly thinking about adding vaadin support soon. I m going to have a 
closer look at it when working on the flex support(which is going to come with 
version 3).

HI,
Appreciate the effort to produce this framework.

A stack with Vaadin/GWT/GWT4Air would ideal for a server-centric cross-platform 
enterprise environment (for us Java developers!)

Sorry to be a pain but do you have an idea when you might look at this? (or 
perhaps some hints on how I could go about looking at it).

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Michael

Hello Michael,
We had the idea of implementing Vaadin support for Adobe Air and Titanium but 
there some issues that  we are still evaluating.

1) Vaadin is a serverside technology. Meaning we ll need to embed a server to 
be able to render the ui

2) Vaadin does not support JSNI for non UI Components. Atleast we could not 
find a good way to invoke JSNI method or use Overlay Types in vaadin. 
window.executeJavaScript() is not enough for what we want to do. 

If you want to implement vaadin support for Adobe AIR those are the stuff you 
will have to look into.

Implement a decent support for Vaadin in AIR and Titanium will require a huge 
amount of work. We will look into that in the future but for now our focus is 
somewhere else.

cheers,

Alain

Thanks,

Ok I'll look at sticking with GWT itself. I'm concerened about how well a GWT 
app will come over to AIR. Does the AIR limiations around eval() cause 
problems? Anything else that is going to be different when running in AIR?

Thanks

Michael

AFAIK Pure GWT widgets work perfectly in AIR. YOu can basically run the same 
code you use for your web project inside AIR without any change! The only issue 
we found was around making RPC calls. But we fixed that also. So as long as u 
are using gwt4air.xxx.jar your are pretty safe.

We also added the ability to use EXT-GWT(GXT) inside AIR. We currently support 
GXT 2.5 and are looking into adding support for GXT 3 in Gwt4Air 3.0

A demo(screenshot) of a GXT app runninig insdie AIR can be found here :

Also note please that we are discontinuing support on this page. If you have 
any question concerning AIR support or any of our products please write it 
somewhere in the forum : http://emitrom.com/forum/. Our response time is 
normally pretty fast :)

Cheers

Now that Vaadin 7 is adding pure Clientside Widget. Adobe AIR support can be 
done
