This article shows the way of creating java application with Vaadin user interface and Spring framework features.
Create a Vaadin application is very easy if you have installed corresponding eclipse plugin. Read http://vaadin.com/eclipse to get to know how to install the plugin and create vaadin application in a few mouse clicks.
Another way of creating vaadin application quickly is using Vaadin "application" archetype. Type the following string in the command line once you're getting into workspace directory:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeVersion=7.1.8
NOTE: if you got an error : "The desired archetype does not exist (com.vaadin:vaadin-archetype-application:7.1.8)" execute this command: mvn archetype:update-local-catalog
I'd like to show old-school way of Vaadin integration into a simple web application. There are two solutions. Second solution I find more attractive, however it cannot be applied to Vaadin 6. Read more for details.
