Running a single test in Gradle

Although very simple I had trouble finding the syntax for this.

gradle -Dtest.single=MyTest test

Vaadin 7, Views and a Sitemap (part 2)

Time Flies

I can't believe it is so long since I last posted.  Holidays come and go, and eventually the sun came out.  In my part of the northern hemisphere anyway!

Progress

I described the idea of a Sitemap to define the structure of a site in my last post.  I did actually then get round to writing the documentation - and rather unusually wrote it before developing the code.

I won't repeat that documentation here, hopefully that is clearly enough written (although questions and feedback are always welcome either here or on the forum).

So I now have a Sitemap and associated options, which can be used to generate a set of standard pages, mostly to to with user account management.  More importantly, it lets you describe the structure of your site fairly simply - making good use, I believe, of the main components of Vaadin, Guice and Shiro to simplify development.

It comes with a user navigation tree, created automatically from the Sitemap to enable the user to find their way around.  Eventually, there will also be a breadcrumb to go with it ...

Tutorial

I am in the process of creating a tutorial, which I hope will make things even clearer ....
