would it work to run scala with vaadin?

Im thinking of starting out with Scala and i got a question.

开发者_Python百科In our Application layer we use Vaadin. Is it possible to work with Scala in a Vaadin project (using Eclipse) ? If yes, are there any nice books or tutorials? If no, why will it fail?

Thx Marthin

Scala and Java can be used together, so it's certainly possible. I don't do Vaadin, so I can't help much, but this article from Vaadin might help.

Vaadin will work flawlessly with any JVM language and Scala is no exception. I'm working on a Scala Vaadin project (sorry, nothing public yet) using the Eclipse Scala IDE beta plugin and everything works just great.

You can find more info using Google, eg. this recent article.

Here's a simple chat application written in Vaadin + Scala (open-source):

vaadin-scala-chat

It can be useful as a starting template to build upon.
