* When a new JavaScript component is initialized in the browser, the framework * will look for a globally defined JavaScript function that will initialize the * component. The name of the initialization function is formed by replacing . * with _ in the name of the server-side class. If no such function is defined, * each super class is used in turn until a match is found. The framework will * thus first attempt with com_example_MyComponent for the * server-side * com.example.MyComponent extends AbstractJavaScriptComponent * class. If MyComponent instead extends com.example.SuperComponent * , then com_example_SuperComponent will also be attempted if * com_example_MyComponent has not been defined. *

* JavaScript components have a very simple GWT widget ( * {@link com.vaadin.client.ui.JavaScriptWidget} ) just consisting of a * div element to which the JavaScript code should initialize its * own user interface. *

* The initialization function will be called with this pointing to * a connector wrapper object providing integration to Vaadin with the following * functions: *

* The connector wrapper also supports these special functions: * *

* * Values in the Shared State and in RPC calls are converted between Java and * JavaScript using the following conventions: *
