Adding javascript function to Vaadin

I want to add a javascript function to vaadin so it would be performed when the button is pressed. So far I have tried it these two ways.

String string = "function myFunction(p) {"
    +"alert(p);"
+"}"
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute(string);
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute("myFunction('Hello');");

And

String string = "function myFunction(p1, p2) {"
    +"alert(p);"
+"}"
+"myFunction('Hello');"
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute(string);

Buth both ways ended with no successful result.

Update: I changed the codes so they will print something. Those two codes still doesn't work.

Your code doesn't work because your myFunction is not registered anywhere when you try to call it. What I mean by this your code:

String string = "function myFunction(p) {"
    +"alert(p);"
+"}"
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute(string);

have no effect. To properly define a function in JavaScript using Vaadin you need to assign it to a some variable. This simple change will enable your code to run:

String string = "soReadyToHelp = function myFunction(p) {"
        +"alert(p);"
    +"}";
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute(string);
JavaScript.getCurrent().execute("soReadyToHelp('Hello');");

Note that, when integrating Vaadin and JavaScript you may find AbstractJavaScriptComponent useful.
