Using Server-Push in a Vaadin app
Just a short post to show how easy it is with Vaadin 7 to use server push in an application.
When doing some tasks in a background thread in a Vaadin application, there probably will come the time when some data needs to be shown in the UI. But as these data changes come from background processing, there is no direct possibility to show them in the UI, as UI changes normally are only reflected after a communication roundtrip from client to server to client which happens as a reaction to some user interaction.
