A Glance At Vaadin And Its Proficient Java Framework A popular open source Java framework, Vaadin, is a known name for developing modern and dynamic web applications. Popularly meant for Rich Internet Applications, it portrays a server side architecture on which the logic runs. At the browser side, Ajax technology is used to provide an enriching experience to the users. On the client base, Vaadin is constructed and can be extended with the help of Google Web Toolkit. As seen, Vaadin makes use of Java for creation of the web content. It uses the event driven programming and widgets, which showcases a programming technique similar to GUI software development. We can deploy Vaadin applications as Java servlets in any Java web server, also in Google App Engine. Vaadin supports integration with the Liferay portal, support for mobile application with Vaadin Touchkit (for iOS5 and above, Android 2.3 and above) Since Vaadin uses its server and client architecture, it has uniqueness. The client side manages small rendering and user interactions of the browser, whereas the server side manages events from the client and changes made to the UI to the client. Between them is the HTTP protocol for communication.
Vaadin’s Development Models
Vaadin support the following development models, from which the developer can choose as per requirement: • Server Side Java (Swing like) It is useful for developing applications which are in need for enhanced productivity and for ease of development for the developer. • Client Side Java (GWT) It is useful for developing applications that need offline support and a better support of web browsers. Since GWT is a core part of Vaadin framework, the user can utilize any component of GWT in Vaadin framework with ease and least complication. • JavaScript This model is useful to integrate the client part of the application with any other web framework.
Key Highlights of Vaadin
No browser plug-in is required since it fully supports HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. Along with UI model, data binding with components is available. Provides more than 300 Add-ons which provide good widgets to help develop the application. A simplistic approach as coding is required in Java. Great collection of UI components and a robust architecture for Rapid Application Development. It internally handles browser compatibility with developers focussing on coding. Compatibility with major browsers.
