Magnolia Apps form Vaadin components

[Steven Frederiks (via Magnolia Forums)]

Hi All,

I'm currently working on the development of a magnolia app based on the sample app[url]http://git.magnolia-cms.com/gitweb/?p=magnolia_ui.pub.git;a=tree;f=sample-app;h=43b1b617434219d345f67fa73e0f403ee815ba08;hb=HEAD[/url]

I have created a view with a list(vaadin) with external data and a navigation view with buttons(vaadin). Now I am trying to create a detailview with a form(just like the add page functionality in the page app)for adding new data to the external source.

At the moment I create a new form with vaadin componentens and add these to a new Window and add this to the UI. Is this the correct way? I think I should use some kind of dialog but I don't know how to do it. Is there any example of building your own dialog with vaadin components?

Gr. Steven

Hello Steve,

create dialog definition [url]http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Dialog+definition#[/url].
And then make reference to this definition from action definition (same as in pages app):

Hope that helps
