Class StaticFileServer

java.lang.Object

com.vaadin.flow.server.StaticFileServer

All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticFileHandler, Serializable

public class StaticFileServer
extends Object
implements StaticFileHandler

Handles sending of resources from the WAR root (web content) or META-INF/resources in the case that VaadinServlet is mapped using "/*".

This class is primarily meant to be used during developing time. For a production mode site you should consider serving static resources directly from the servlet (using a default servlet if such exists) or through a stand alone static file server.
