Vaadin Java EE app example

This is a work in progress Vaadin CDI example project that could be a starting point for a larger Java EE app.

Stuff that this app is built on:

• Vaadin
• Java EE
• JPA
• Apache Shiro
• Vaadin CDI
• CDI events
• MVP
• The new Valo theme for Vaadin to make it look modern

TODO:

• Limited UI for customers to edit their own details
• Localization
• Clean up, blog posts etc.

To get started (plaining with this app in your dev environment):

Build should be IDE/platform indendent. So just

• Checkout the the project with git clone https://github.com/peterl1084/cdiexample.git.
• (OPTIONAL) define a datasource and configure it in backend/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml. Development friendly Java EE servers like TomEE, WildFly and GlassFish will do this automatically for you, as we haven't defined <jta-data-source> in persistence.xml
• Build + Run/Debug in your favorite IDE
• ... or use mvn install; cd ui; mvn tomee:run to launch it in TomEE without any configuration
