Holon Vaadin 7 module

Latest release: 5.2.4

This is the Vaadin 7 compatible module of the Holon Platform Vaadin integration, which represents the platform support for the Vaadin web applications framework, focusing on the user interface components and data binding features.

The module main features are:

• A Java API to build (using fluent builders), manage and use the web application UI components.
• Integration with the platform foundation architecture, such as the Property model and the Datastore API, the authentication, authorization and localization support.
• A powerful and easy to use View navigator to manage the web application virtual pages
• Spring and Spring Boot integration

See the module documentation for details.

Just like any other platform module, this artifact is part of the Holon Platform ecosystem, but can be also used as a stand-alone library.

See the platform documentation for further details.
