Interface ViewContextStrategy

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
ViewContextStrategies.EveryNavigation, ViewContextStrategies.ViewName, ViewContextStrategies.ViewNameAndParameters
public interface ViewContextStrategy extends Serializable
Decision strategy on whether target navigation state belongs to active view context. When the target navigation state does not belong to the active view context, the current context will be released and a new one is created.

By default the views are using the Dependent scope, which can be used but is not recommended. Any View with a ViewContextStrategy should use one of the scopes provided in the Vaadin CDI integration.

Separate annotations annotated by ViewContextStrategyQualifier have to exist for each of the implementations.

Example of a custom implementation:

A separate annotation. 

 @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
 @Target({ ElementType.TYPE })
 @ViewContextStrategyQualifier
  public @interface MyStrategyAnnotation {
  }
An implementation class. 
 @NormalUIScoped
 @MyStrategyAnnotation
  public class MyStrategy implements ViewContextStrategy {
    public boolean contains(String viewName, String parameters) {
      ...
    }
  }
Use annotation on the view. 
 @CDIView("myView")
 @MyStrategyAnnotation
  public MyView implements View {
  ...
  }
