Sharing a List<String> between two vaadin components

Question

I am having a multi row single column table which is to be populated from a List<String>. And this List<String> is populated via a modal window and when ever there is an update in this List<String> the table has to be updated.

How do I achieve this through Vaadin?

Any pointers or examples on this would be greatly helpful.

Thanks

you could use the same container for both the field to edit and the table to display. be sure to either fire your refreshes manually (https://www.vaadin.com/api/com/vaadin/ui/Table.html#refreshRowCache()) or listen for them (https://www.vaadin.com/api/com/vaadin/data/Container.ItemSetChangeListener.html)
