Cannot redirect with the Vaadin navigator


I've a very strange behavior, I think I have two issues, I put them together on the same post because they can be linked :

my code is :

VaadinSession.getCurrent().setAttribute("user", user);
System.out.println("User :"+ user);
getUI().getNavigator().navigateTo(HomePageView.HOMEPAGE);

1. First issue

I'm on the login page, I can see my user information, but I cannot navigate to the homepage. I don't have any error !

If I delete the line with the vaadinSession, the navigator is working...

2. Second Issue

I tried to debug my code but I received a "source not found", to fix that, I follow Eclipse java debugging: source not found. But, seems to working for me. What I did :

  • I recreated a new workspace without success.
  • I edited the source lookup path and I have my java project in it
  • In the preferences -> java -> installed JREs -> I've the 1.8.0 JDK
  • right click on the project -> maven -> download sources
  • right click on the project -> maven -> disable maven nature and after Configure -> project to maven

EDIT : SOLUTION for the issue 2 : I was so blocked... I know it's an eclipse issue (configuration or something like that). I changed for IntelliJ. This IDE show me sources without problem.

INFO

I'm using Vaadin and REST web services (with the javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder). When I use SYSOUT, I have the good information. I received the information from the homepage (instead of the view seems to keep the login view).

Any hint will be very useful !

Solution

  • Ok, I found the solution/workarround for the issues :

    • For the first issue : "token" seems to be a reserved word, "tokenEmployee" seems to be better and it's working perfectly...

    • For the second issue : I still don't know why it's not working in Eclipse, I've the source but in debug mode, I'm not able to see them. I changed for IntelliJ. I was not able to find any thing about reserved words for the Vaadin Session. If someone find a link or something, I'm very interested !

    Too much time trying to fix it..

    A bit thanks to @jay who tried to help me!
