Using Vaadin and Struts 1 together

[Ragunath Jawahar]

Hi, I'm writing an application using Struts 1 and Vaadin. Struts 1 for the customers and Vaadin for the administrative panel. The application's working fine but I have trouble putting them together. If I change the servlet mapping for the Vaadin application, the CSS doesn't get loaded properly and thereby the Vaadin application looks and works weird. Could someone help me out of this??

Well, you have two mappings to the same URL--that's not going to work. Why not put a prefix (one not used in the struts app) for the admin app?

[Ragunath Jawahar]

Sorry, the mappings are:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Reindeer</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/admin</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This one is causing problem with the Admin application (Vaadin), the page doesn't load properly. It doesn't work well with any other mapping except /*

Figured it out finally http://vaadin.com/book/-/page/application.environment.html
