My applicationContext.xml is as follows <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance...

In this example, I am going to use the recently released Vaadin Spring Add on . As a first, create a spring boot web application. You have to select the “war” option for the packaging and select the option “web” for the dependencies. <dependency> <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId> <artifactId>vaadin-spring-boot</artifactId> <version>1.0.0.alpha2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId> <artifactId>vaadin-themes</artifactId> <version>7.4.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId> <artifactId>vaadin-clie...
