Hi Cats

The first weeks of this year I played with JSF2 and was building these GUI's
for my application.
It was working well with the JPA2 validation (JSR303) things etc, but it was
still a huge pain to develop a simple screen.

But today Marius Kruger told me about Vaadin.
It's just so amazing , one can build a fancy GUI without editing XML files.
Pure Java
I almost fell on my back.

Have a look here http://demo.vaadin.com/sampler/#TableLazyLoading
and the code.

Have a look here as well :
http://demo.vaadin.com/AddressBook/

And the tutorial on the above :
http://vaadin.com/tutorial


There is a article on GlassFish 3 and Vaadin:
http://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Deployment%20Options%20on%20GlassFish%203

*I finally have the weapon to fend off the ASP .NET war mongers that I work
with!*

It's also in the Maven Repo
<dependency>
       <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
       <artifactId>vaadin</artifactId>
       <version>6.2.3</version>
</dependency>
