Summary

This was a big chapter. Look at what we have covered:

  • We learned how to create Vaadin applications that communicate with business classes.
  • We took a look at the underlying technologies that make it possible to write web applications entirely in Java.
  • We got to know the Vaadin data model and its core concepts: properties, items, and containers.
  • We saw a simplified version of the UI components hierarchy.
  • We learned the common functionality for UI components and we saw that this functionality is defined in the Component interface paired with the AbstractComponent class.
  • We have learned how to use most of the input components available in Vaadin.

So far, our applications have had a boring layout (VerticalLayout). In the next chapter we will start making more appealing applications by learning a lot about layouts in Vaadin. See you there.
