Using Clojure with Vaadin

Question

Hi,

Has anyone tried implementing a web application with Clojure ( using Compojure ) and Vaadin ? I had seen an article on using Clojure with JWT for creating web apps. Vaadin is based on GWT so you get a lot of the advantages of GWT ( though Vaadin is completely Server-centric). And Clojure gives the advantage that you can use any Java Based Framework, so what thoughts on the Clojure + Vaadin based web application ?

Answer 1

GWT uses a custom compiler for Java source code. If Vaadin depends on that aspect, it will not work with Clojure, which compiles directly to Java byte code.

Answer 2

Hi,

I've created an article in Vaadin Trac wiki describing such integration:
