What are apps?

• Is each one
  • a Custom Vaadin Component
  • A Custom Vaadin Component with connection to More Java / Magnolia
  • a Vaadin Application
• An App is not necessarily a window - but can contain a window. Right?

Questions

• Can CSSLayout be used for root of document.
• Benefits to HTML as parent with dynamically loaded Vaadin?
• Benefits of Vaadin as parent (own the document)
  • Drag and Drop
• With CSSLayout or with CustomComponent: could we have every component sitting in a dynamically transitional DIV? Test.
