Integrating Vaadin views in Struts2 (JSP based) applications

[Alejandro Duarte]

Hello everyone,

I recently implemented a utility to include Vaadin UIs in existing JSP views. I tested the utility (which is a Vaadin add-on) mostly with Struts2 (including an AppFuse application) and it seems to work. But I'd like to have some feedback in case anyone is interested in this kind of integration or if you are planning to migrate/integrate parts of your Struts 2 application to Vaadin.

The idea is that you can do something like the following:

<vaadin:ui url="/myui"/>

You can find a blog post about this utility in the following link: https://vaadin.com/blog/-/blogs/migrating-from-jsp-and-jsf-to-vaadin-made-easy

The add-on is published here (available with Maven and Ivy): https://vaadin.com/directory#!addon/jsp-integration

The source code is here: https://github.com/alejandro-du/vaadin-jsp-integration

Hope this is useful!

Awesome work! And thanks for sharing your code. Might definitely be useful for other ranchers as well. Have a cow!

Kind regards,
