Custom widgetset

1. Widgetset fundaments

In order to add custom widgets or Vaadin addons to your Magnolia app, you need to provide a new Widgetset.

Like for any GWT application, there can be only one Widgetset, therefore it should inherit all the Widgetsets you intend to use; in particular it must always inherit Magnolia's default widgetset (identified as info.magnolia.ui.vaadin.gwt.MagnoliaWidgetSet).

Finally, a widgetset must always be GWT-compiled before you run your Web application, and it will have to be recompiled every time the client-side code changes, or when you add that fancy Vaadin addon.

For further information about Vaadin client-side development, or about ways to compile the Widgetset,GWT compilation, please refer to the Book of Vaadin, or the GWT project website.

2. Using a custom widgetset in magnolia

Once your widgetset is compiled, you may now tell magnolia to use it by editing your webapp's magnolia properties, and setting the key magnolia.ui.vaadin.widgetset.

The expected value should be the same widgetset qualified name as Vaadin expects, without the .gwt.xml extension, e.g. some.vaadin.package.SomeWidgetset.
