I want to find out the lattidue and longitude of a particular address to show a 
marker. I am using vaadin and your addon. Is there a way already present to do 
so ? If not, how can i do it from vaadin? Any configurations required in gwt 
xml?

Hi,

OpenLayers has no builtin geocoding. You need to use some geocoding service to 
find out proper coordinates.

In open layers examples there is one related. It makes xhr to an open service 
and then uses those coordinates. Making similar from java code (aka vaadin code 
aka the code run on your application server) should be very easy (especially if 
yo have ever done an http call in java code). You could follow that example and 
turn that into java code.
