So, I have a view which should preserve the state when a user reloads. This is easy to do and well documented. However, in one case I reload the page from the server side after the user performs a specific action in which case I would actually want the view to completely reload.
Is there a way to differentiate between those cases and influence when the view should preserve its state?
In Vaadin 14 you can annotate specific views / components with @PreserveOnRefresh annotation. So if you have two views in your app like following, the RegularView will not be refreshed on reload.
@Route("preserve")
@PreserveOnRefresh
public class PreservedView extends VerticalLayout {
public PreservedView() {
// ...
}
}
@Route("regular")
public class RegularView extends VerticalLayout {
public RegularView () {
// ...
}
}
