The back-end code such as PersonService, PersonRepository and configurations such as persistence.xml, applicationContext.xml, Maven's pom.xml, etc. was generated by Spring Roo. The Spring-Vaadin integration was enabled by Spring Stuff add-on, many thanks to Archie Cobbs created this add-on.
Vaadin Address Book Standalone Sample
Picture above is how the sample look like when it run standalone. You are welcome to fork the code at github, any changes contribute back to the main code base is very much appreciated. Bear in mind that the sample code is far from perfect, but it works. Many works need to be done to become a great application skeleton, you are encourage to look at the outstanding issues, or create one for bug or enhancement.
Edited on 22-Jun-2012: Many thanks to Iwein Fuld for his fixes to enabled the sample run with in-memory HSQLDB instead of MySQL DB.

Thanks for posting this! I've been using Spring for several years and am now studying Vaadin.
Hi Chris,
You're welcome! I hope the example is useful to you.
Heard of metawidget at http://metawidget.org/?
At the moment I am doing a small exercise at https://github.com/limcheekin/grails-metawidget-vaadin-addressbook, I attempt to shifting all annotation config of metawidget to XML and implement the GORM back-end to the addressbook sample.
Ultimately, I was thinking of building a package where developers only need to specify the Metawidget's XMLs and the system can auto layout a form based on the XMLs.
Would you be interested to work out something together?
Hope to hear from you soon! :)
Best regards,

I was actually reading about metawidget.org this morning! I think I need to get up to speed on Vaadin/metawidget before being a good contributor to such a project.
In the project code for your example, I think you need to be using and in memory database, or instruct the developer to install the referenced database locally.
I like your blog thus far too, esp the suggested book section.
Talk to you soon,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your suggestion, the blog post is updated to include your suggestion.
Take your time, I am new to Vaadin and Metawidget too. I am reading Learning Vaadin at the moment.
Love to hear from you soon!
Cheers,
Chee Kin
Iwein Fuld commited src to your address book application! That is impressive!!!
Yeah, the blog post is updated to reflect his kindness contribution. :)
I started reading LEarning Vaadin myself. Am discovering some of the source code used in the book was not included in the book's source code, which may be downloaded. Frustrating!
Yeah, I faced the same issue and file an issue report to the book author at https://github.com/nfrankel/More-Vaadin/issues/2
Unluckily, he didn't gave any solution. I put Vaadin aside at the moment and thinking of resume my learning when Vaadin 7 is release as it have totally different structure compare to Vaadin 6.x
Hi, I tried deploying the source in liferay portal server but I cannot make it work, do you have another version to attempt it again?.
Thanks a lot.

Did you installed Vaadin Control Panel Addon to your Liferay Portal? Please see https://vaadin.com/web/sami/liferay. You may need to re-build the WidgetSet to make it work.
For your information, the sample app was built on Vaadin 6.x instead of Vaadin 7.
Hope this help.
Hi again, I rebuilt widgetset, but I still have problems, I'm using liferay 6.0.6 and Vaadin 6.8, when I ran mvn package, I generated the war and when I try deploying in the deploy directory the autodeploy start to work but I gave the following message:

Seems like the war file is not package properly as the following error showing SpringFramework's class is not found:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
This error shouldn't happened unless the Liferay version you used no longer come with SpringFramework.
