Interface NavigationHandler

  • All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    AbstractNavigationStateRenderer, ErrorStateRenderer, InternalRedirectHandler, NavigationStateRenderer
    Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

    @FunctionalInterface
    public interface NavigationHandler
    extends Serializable
    Handles navigation to a location e.g. by showing a navigation target component in a UI or by redirecting the user to another location.

    Subclasses using external data should take care to avoid synchronization issues since the same navigation handler instances may be used concurrently from multiple threads. Data provided in the navigation event should be safe to use without synchronization since the associated VaadinSession and everything related to it will be locked.
