I am not quite an expert with all the Java EE things, so this is challenging for me: I want to use the Vaadin Framework for the GUI of parts of an application built in OFbiz. I have OFbiz running and a new module in the hot-deploy folder. I also have a Vaadin application that does some stuff. Both are separate and run in different Tomcat instances. How would I be able to start them in the same Tomcat?
Vaadin should be integrated at a specific place in OFBiz, so I thought about using this method to embed it into a div. It looks like this should work if Vaadin only gets the requests with the /VAADIN/ prefix in Tomcat, is that right? This shouldn't disturb OFBiz then?
Or should I use something else than OFBiz for the data model. We probably want to use OFBiz for some of it's ERP/Shop functionality in the future, so I thought it would be good to start using it. But we absolutely need to use Vaadin for the GUI.
