Annotation Type SpringView

@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
@SpringComponent
@ViewScope
public @interface SpringView

Annotation to be placed on View-classes that should be handled by the SpringViewProvider.

This annotation is also a stereotype annotation, so Spring will automatically detect the annotated classes. By default, this annotation also puts the view into the view scope. You can override this by using another scope annotation, such as the UI scope, on your view class. However, the singleton scope will not work!

This is an example of a view that is mapped to an empty view name and is available for all UI subclasses in the application:

 @SpringView(name = "")
 public class MyDefaultView extends CustomComponent implements View {
     // ...
 }
 

This is an example of a view that is only available to a specified UI subclass:

 @SpringView(name = "myView", ui = MyUI.class)
 public class MyView extends CustomComponent implements View {
     // ...
 }

Optional Element Summary

String	name The name of the view.
Class<? extends com.vaadin.ui.UI>[]	ui By default, the view will be available for all UI subclasses in the application.

name

public abstract String name

The name of the view. This is the name that is to be passed to the Navigator when navigating to the view. There can be multiple views with the same name as long as they belong to separate UI subclasses. If the default value USE_CONVENTIONS is used, the name of the view is derived from the class name so that e.g. UserDetailView becomes "user-detail". Although auto-generated view names are supported, using explicit naming of views is strongly recommended.

ui()

Default:

"USE CONVENTIONS"

ui

public abstract Class<? extends com.vaadin.ui.UI>[] ui

By default, the view will be available for all UI subclasses in the application. This attribute can be used to explicitly specify which subclass (or subclasses) that the view belongs to.

Default:

{}
