The problem I have with my current Vaadin 8 project is that I have a java entry class which starts 2 instances of a Tomcat with some static and dynamic contexts.
With Vaadin 8 I used to link all the libs statically on Eclipse so I didn't use a pom.xml file before but in order to update the current workflow I defined all those libraries on the pom.xml file. Now that I'm using a pom.xml file I realise that the whole frontend is started with the vaadin-maven-plugin and I don't really know how to get work the frontend (Fusion and Flow) with the embedded Tomcat Server but without SpringBoot.
I think the vaadin team wants the community to use SpringBoot more and more.
So how would you integrate Vaadin 20 (Fusion and Flow) + a embedded Tomcat Server but without SpringBoot? or do you recommend to migrate also to SpringBoot? I saw many annotations that are needed for the Vaadin 20 Fusion part and just work with SpringBoot.
If you want to use Vaadin 21 /w Fusion, then SpringBoot is a mandatory requirement at the moment. However if you use Vaadin 21 /w Flow only, i.e. traditional Vaadin Java way, then SpringBoot is not mandatory to use.
