Vaadin. Navigation among html-based resources

Question

i added a couple of html files to my Vaadin project layout. These files are "interconnected" with each other via anchors. In browser i can navigate to them w/o any problems, but in Vaadin app after click on link i see the following:

The view could not be found You tried to navigate to a view ('') that does not exist.

After that my address bar in browser contains the follwing address:

http://127.0.0.1:8090/page3.html

How should i handle the navigation in Vaadin?

Answer 1

It seems that you use the Navigator to navigate to your html pages. With the Navigator you can only navigate to Vaadin Views, that are registered using addView(..), not arbitrary html pages. To do that use Page.getCurrent().setLocation(<your url>).
