I am using Vaadin 8 and I am facing a problem.
In my constructor, I create a grid which I add to a layout.
Grid<Row> grid = new Grid<>(); grid.removeAllColumns(); //Here, I add columns to the grid grid.addColumn(... grid.addColumn(… …
I then want to add a converter to my grid as follows:
grid.getColumn("delete").setConverter(new StringToUrlConverter("dustbin"));
What I do not understand is the error message indicating why I cannot add the converter. The error message is the folloing one:
The method setConverter(StringToUrlConverter) is undefined for the type >Grid.Column<ContactView.Row,capture#1-of ?>
So how do I have to set my converter?
This is my converter:
package com.example.vaadin;
import com.vaadin.data.Converter;
import com.vaadin.data.Result;
import com.vaadin.data.ValueContext;
public class StringToUrlConverter implements Converter<String, String> {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
String imagePath = "";
public StringToUrlConverter(String path) {
this.imagePath=path;
}
public String getImagePath() {
return imagePath;
}
#Override
public Result<String> convertToModel(String value, ValueContext context) {
return Result.ok(null);
}
#Override
public String convertToPresentation(String value, ValueContext context) {
if(value.equals("delete")) {
return "<span><img src='img/" + getImagePath() + ".jpg' width='20' height='20'></span>";
}
return "";
}
}
There is no setConverter method in Vaadin 8, it was in Vaadin 7. Instead in Vaadin 8 and newer versions you should use version of addColumn method with value provider. See old discussion in Vaadin's Forum.
StringToUrlConverter converter = new StringToUrlConverter (path);
grid.addColumn(row -> converter.convertToPresentation(row.getDelete(), String.class, ui.getLocale())).setCaption("Delete");
But, in your case you probably do not need that either. I see from your code that you simply want to add delete button or something like that in the Grid's cell.
You can add component in Grid from Vaadin 8 onwards using:
grid.addComponentColumn(row -> {
Image image = new Image();
image.setSrc(path);
image.addClickListener(event -> {
// add code to remove the row
grid.getDataProvider().refreshAll();
});
return image;
}
Let's consider we have the following informations :
As you see an article can be stored in many stores, and vice versa : a store can store many articles : that's the class model (UML )
some code :
FXML Part :
#FXML
private TableView<Article> tblArticles;
#FXML
private TableColumn<Article, String> colStore;
#FXML
private TableColumn<Article, Integer> colQuantity;
getters and setter :
colStore.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("store"));
colStore.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("quantity"));
I recieve the result seen in the first table but I am not able to do what is in the second table .
And what I want exactly should give the following informations :
So my question is it possible to do this in a TableView ?
Here is a sample app. It follows an MVVM style, which is appropriate for this kind of work. The app was built using Java 13 and will not work in earlier Java versions such as Java 8. It's a relatively long answer, but, ah well, sometimes that is what it takes.
The overall approach is not to create a tableview row for each store that an article is stored in. Instead, we just create a row for each article and we have a custom cell renderer which produces a single formatted cell for all the stores and quantities that that item is stored at.
Now, you could do an alternative implementation based upon a custom rowFactory. However, I do not recommend that approach for this particular task, as I believe it would be unnecessarily complicated to implement and maintain, without providing sufficient value.
Another way to do this is to use nested columns. This approach, when appropriate care is taken, does allow you to create a tableview row for each store that an article is stored in. If you do this, you need some way of populating different data depending on whether a row is either the first row in the group or not. You don't allow the user to reorder and sort data in the table, as that would be quite difficult to cater for because the notion of what is the "first row in the group" would be forever changing. To allow for appropriate rendering with nested columns, you end up with a slightly different view model (the FlatLineItem class below and the accompanying method in the LineItemService that retrieves them).
The image below demonstrates the output of a TableView with a custom cell renderer on the left and a TableView using nested columns on the right. Note how the selection works differently in each case. On the left when a row is selected, it includes all the stores that attached to that row. On the right when the nested columns are used, the row selection is only selecting a row for a given store.
Main application class
This sets up a couple of TableViews.
For the first table view, all it does is create a TableView with a column for each of the elements to be displayed. All the data is extracted from a LineItem view model class using a standard PropertyValueFactory. The slightly different thing is a custom cell renderer for a StoredQuantity field via the StoredQuantityTableCell, this is explained later.
The second view uses nested columns and works based upon the FlatLineItem view model class, also using a standard PropertyValueFactory and uses no custom cell renderer.

StoredQuantityTableCell.java
This takes a list of StoredQuantities which is a tuple of a store name and a quantity of things stored at that store and then renders that list into a single cell, formatting the display internally in a GridView. You could use whatever internal node layout or formatting you wish and add CSS styling to spice things up if necessary.

LineItem.java
A view model class representing a row in the table.
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
public class LineItem {
private long articleId;
private String articleName;
private List<StoredQuantity> storedQuantities;
public LineItem(long articleId, String articleName, List<StoredQuantity> storedQuantities) {

}
public int getTotal() {
return storedQuantities.stream()
.mapToInt(StoredQuantity::getQuantity)
.sum();
}
}
StoredQuantity.java
A view model class representing a store name and quantity of things in the store. This is used by the StoredQuantityTableCell to render the stored quantities for a line item.
public class StoredQuantity implements Comparable<StoredQuantity> {
private String storeName;
private int quantity;
StoredQuantity(String storeName, int quantity) {
this.storeName = storeName;
this.quantity = quantity;
}
public String getStoreName() {

}
public int getQuantity() {

}
#Override
public int compareTo(StoredQuantity o) {
return storeName.compareTo(o.storeName);
}
}
FlatLineItem.java
A view model class supporting a table view with nested columns. A flat line item which can be created for each store that an article is stored in.
public class FlatLineItem {
private Long articleId;
private String articleName;
private final String storeName;
private final Integer storeQuantity;
private final Integer total;
private final boolean firstInGroup;

this.storeQuantity = storeQuantity;
this.total = total;
this.firstInGroup = firstInGroup;
}
public Long getArticleId() {

}
public boolean isFirstInGroup() {

}
}
LineItemService.java
This translates values from the database into view model objects (LineItems or FlatLineItems) which can be rendered by the views. Note how the getFlatLineItemsForLineItem which constructs the FlatLineItems for the nested column table view has a notion of what it the first row in a group of line items and propagates the the FlatLineItem appropriately based on that, leaving some values null if they are just repeated from the first item in the group, which results in a clean display.

Mock database class
Just a simple in-memory representation of the database class. In a real app, you would probably use something like SpringData with hibernate to provide the data access repositories using a JPA based object to relational mapping.
The database classes aren't related to the view at all but are just presented here so that a running app can be created within a MVVM style framework.

Answers to some follow-up questions
Which Approach is the best for updating data ?
All of the approaches I have shown use read only data models and views. To make it read-write would be a bit more work (and out of scope for what I would be prepared to add to this already long answer). Probably, of the two approaches outlined above, the approach which uses a separate row for each store containing an item would be the easiest to adapt to making the data updatable.
Which approach in general I should use to update data ( data are stored for sure in db) ?
Defining a general approach to updating data in a database is out of scope for what I would answer here (it is a purely opinion based answer, as there are many different ways to accomplish this, and as such is off topic for StackOverflow). If it were me, I'd set up a SpringBoot based rest service that connected to the database and have my client app communicate with that. If the app does not need to communicate over the internet, but only communicate with a local DB over a LAN, then adding direct database access by making the app a SpringBoot app and using Spring Data repositories with the embedded H2 database is what I would use.
Is when modifying in a specific row modify in db or wait until user modify in the whole tableview and click on a save button ?
Either way would work, I don't have any strong opinion on one versus the other. I'd probably lean towards the immediate update scenario rather than a delayed save scenario, but it would depend on the app and desired user experience.
Please can you provide me with some code for either to draw a line under every cell or to make it just like usual tableView ( one row gray and one not etc ...)
You can ask that as a separate question. But, in general, use CSS styling. If you use the second approach outlined above which has a row per store, then everything is already a "usual tableView" in terms of styling, with one row gray and one row not, etc., so I don't know that any additional styling is really required in such a case.
I'm trying to emulate normal browser behaviour in my vaadin grid, which includes middle mouse click to open in a new tab:
addItemClickListener(e -> {
boolean newTab = e.getMouseEventDetails().getButton() == MouseEventDetails.MouseButton.MIDDLE || e.getMouseEventDetails().isCtrlKey();
//open in window or new tab
});
However, the middle mouse button is not registered by vaadin. How could I get this to work?
That feature was included in vaadin-grid (which goes into Vaadin 10) and will not work in Vaadin 8.
For Vaadin 8, you can either intercept the event with some client-side extension, or use a ComponentRenderer for adding a Panel to each component (which works, but is not ideal because it degrades performance):
grid.addColumn(item->{
Panel p = new Panel(item.getName());
p.setStyleName(ValoTheme.PANEL_BORDERLESS);
p.addClickListener(ev->{
System.out.println(ev.getButtonName());
});
return p;
}).setRenderer(new ComponentRenderer());
A client-side extension, on the other hand, allows listening to javascript events (such as MouseEvent) and triggering a server event in response. Creating a extension is quite a complex topic (since it uses a part of the API that is normally hidden from the developer) but it allows direct access to rendered DOM, which is not possible otherwise.
The following resources from the documentation may give you a starting point:
Creating a component extension (which describes a simple extension with Java code only) and Integrating JavaScript Components and Extension (which explains how to add native JavaScript code to your extension).
How I solved the problem in my specific case:
Server side:
public class MyGrid<T> extends Grid<T> {
public MyGrid(String caption, DataProvider<T, ?> dataProvider) {
super(caption, dataProvider);
MiddleClickExtension.extend(this);
}
public static class MiddleClickExtension<T> extends AbstractGridExtension<T> {
private MiddleClickExtension(MyGrid<T> grid) {
super.extend(grid);
registerRpc((rowKey, columnInternalId, details) -> grid.fireEvent(
new ItemClick<>(grid, grid.getColumnByInternalId(columnInternalId), grid.getDataCommunicator().getKeyMapper().get(rowKey), details)),
MiddleClickGridExtensionConnector.Rpc.class);
}
public static void extend(MyGrid<?> grid) {
new MiddleClickExtension<>(grid);
}
#Override
public void generateData(Object item, JsonObject jsonObject) {
}
#Override
public void destroyData(Object item) {
}
#Override
public void destroyAllData() {
}
#Override
public void refreshData(Object item) {
}
}
}
Client side:
#Connect(MyGrid.MiddleClickExtension.class)
public class MiddleClickGridExtensionConnector extends AbstractExtensionConnector {
#Override
protected void extend(ServerConnector target) {
getParent().getWidget().addDomHandler(event -> {
if (event.getNativeButton() == NativeEvent.BUTTON_MIDDLE) {
event.preventDefault();
CellReference<JsonObject> cell = getParent().getWidget().getEventCell();
getRpcProxy(Rpc.class).middleClick(cell.getRow().getString(DataCommunicatorConstants.KEY), getParent().getColumnId(cell.getColumn()),
MouseEventDetailsBuilder.buildMouseEventDetails(event.getNativeEvent(), event.getRelativeElement()));
}
}, MouseDownEvent.getType());
}
#Override
public GridConnector getParent() {
return (GridConnector) super.getParent();
}
public interface Rpc extends ServerRpc {
void middleClick(String rowKey, String columnInternalId, MouseEventDetails details);
}
}
I know that it is really easy to create a FileDownloader and call extend with a Button. But how do I start a download without the Button?
In my specific situation right now I have a ComboBox and the file I'd like to send to the user is generated after changing its value, based on the input. The file should be sent immediately without waiting for another click. Is that easily possible?
Thanks

I found a solution myself. Actually two.
The first one uses the deprecated method Page.open()
public class DownloadComponent extends CustomComponent implements ValueChangeListener {
private ComboBox cb = new ComboBox();
public DownloadComponent() {
cb.addValueChangeListener(this);
cb.setNewItemsAllowed(true);
cb.setImmediate(true);
cb.setNullSelectionAllowed(false);
setCompositionRoot(cb);
}
#Override
public void valueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String val = (String) event.getProperty().getValue();
FileResource res = new FileResource(new File(val));
Page.getCurrent().open(res, null, false);
}
}
The javadoc here mentions some memory and security problems as reason for marking it deprecated
In the second I try to go around this deprecated method by registering the resource in the DownloadComponent. I'd be glad if a vaadin expert comments this solution.
public class DownloadComponent extends CustomComponent implements ValueChangeListener {
private ComboBox cb = new ComboBox();
private static final String MYKEY = "download";
public DownloadComponent() {
cb.addValueChangeListener(this);
cb.setNewItemsAllowed(true);
cb.setImmediate(true);
cb.setNullSelectionAllowed(false);
setCompositionRoot(cb);
}
#Override
public void valueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String val = (String) event.getProperty().getValue();
FileResource res = new FileResource(new File(val));
setResource(MYKEY, res);
ResourceReference rr = ResourceReference.create(res, this, MYKEY);
Page.getCurrent().open(rr.getURL(), null);
}
}
Note: I do not really allow the user to open all my files on the server and you should not do that either. It is just for demonstration.
Here is my work-around. It works like a charm for me. Hope it will help you.
Create a button and hide it by Css (NOT by code: button.setInvisible(false))
final Button downloadInvisibleButton = new Button();
downloadInvisibleButton.setId("DownloadButtonId");
downloadInvisibleButton.addStyleName("InvisibleButton");
In your theme, add this rule to hide the downloadInvisibleButton:
.InvisibleButton {
display: none;
}
When the user clicks on menuItem: extend the fileDownloader to the downloadInvisibleButton, then simulate the click on the downloadInvisibleButton by JavaScript.
menuBar.addItem("Download", new MenuBar.Command() {
#Override
public void menuSelected(MenuBar.MenuItem selectedItem) {
FileDownloader fileDownloader = new FileDownloader(...);
fileDownloader.extend(downloadInvisibleButton);
//Simulate the click on downloadInvisibleButton by JavaScript
Page.getCurrent().getJavaScript()
.execute("document.getElementById('DownloadButtonId').click();");
}
});
I'm using Selenium 2 tests (written in C#) that choose values from a "select" control.
Selection causes a post-back to the server, which updates the state of the page.
It s really frustrating because every PostBack occurs this exception
Element not found in the cache - perhaps the page has changed since it was looked up
Just to be precise i use Selenium 2 WebDriver (2.32.0.0)
And for my project i Use Pattern Page Factory
The code looks like that
class RegisterPersonelData
{
private IWebDriver driver;
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "ctl00_ContentMain_register1_txtName")]
private IWebElement txtLastname;
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "ctl00_ContentMain_register1_lstDrvLic")]
private IWebElement dlDrive;
private SelectElement selectDrive;
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "ctl00_ContentMain_register1_lstVeh")]
private IWebElement dlVehicule;
private SelectElement selectVehicule;
public RegisterPersonelData(IWebDriver driver)
{
this.driver = driver;
// initialize elements of the LoginPage class
PageFactory.InitElements(driver, this);
// all elements in the 'WebElements' region are now alive!
// FindElement or FindElements no longer required to locate elements
}
public void fillData(string lastname, string drive, string vehicule)
{
txtLastname.SendKeys(lastname);
this.selectDrive = new SelectElement(dlDrive);
selectDrive.SelectByText(drive);
selectVehicule = new SelectElement(dlVehicule);
IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new WebDriverWait(this.driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ExpliciteWait"])));
wait.Until(x => selectVehicule.Options.Count > 1);
selectVehicule.SelectByText(vehicule);
}
}
And here the code of main
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
IWebDriver driver = MyWebDriver.GetWebDriver(MyWebDriver.BrowserType.FIFREFOX);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://...");
...
registerPersonelData.fillData("lastname", "Permis B", "Auto");
}
}
This code doesn t work because one postback is triggered ...
I have try to use one explicite wait but it fails too !
Code use to retrieve one element with explicite wait
public static IWait<IWebDriver> GetWaitWebDriver(IWebDriver driver)
{
IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ExpliciteWait"])));
return wait;
}
public static IWebElement GetElementAndWaitForIt(IWebDriver driver, By by)
{
return GetWaitWebDriver(driver).Until(x =>
{
return x.FindElement(by);
});
}
Someone has one idea to fix it ?
You can re-initialize the elements at the end of the fillData method.
PageFactory.InitElements(driver, this);
You could do it in the main as well with:
PageFactory.InitElements(driver, registerPersonelData);
You could also try adding the following to the field you need to reuse.
[CacheLookup]
I have done a lot of tries and finally i have found something usefull
public static void WaitForAnWebElementDisplayed(IWait<IWebDriver> wait, IWebElement webElement)
{
wait.Until(x => webElement.Displayed);
}
public static void WaitForAnWebElementEnabled(IWait<IWebDriver> wait, IWebElement webElement)
{
wait.Until(x => webElement.Enabled);
}
and Consequently i can wait that the load of page triggered after to have choosen one item in select option is completed !
