Setting content of my `UI` subclass in Vaadin Flow web app












2















In Vaadin Flow, writing a subclass of UI class is no longer necessary. Yet the page of the manual on Differences Between V10 and V8 Applications suggests we are free to do so.



The problem: The UI class in Flow has no UI::setContent method.



This usual line of code in our UI::init method fails in Flow:



this.setContent( layout );  // <--- No method `setContent` found in Flow


➥ How do we set the content to be displayed within our UI subclass at runtime?



Here is my code, with the line of setContent that fails.



package com.acme;

import com.vaadin.flow.component.UI;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.server.VaadinRequest;
import com.vaadin.flow.server.VaadinServlet;
import com.vaadin.flow.server.VaadinServletConfiguration;

import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;

public class MyUI extends UI {
protected void init ( VaadinRequest request ) {
VerticalLayout layout = new VerticalLayout();
this.setContent( layout );
}

@WebServlet (
urlPatterns = "/*",
name = "myservlet",
asyncSupported = true
)
// The UI configuration is optional
@VaadinServletConfiguration (
ui = MyUI.class,
productionMode = false
)
public class MyServlet extends VaadinServlet {
}
}

The UI is a component itself and implements HasComponents. Hence, you can simply call add(Component...) method to fill it with components.
