        public boolean handleRequest​(VaadinSession session,
                                     VaadinRequest request,
                                     VaadinResponse response)
                              throws IOException
        Description copied from interface: RequestHandler
        Called when a request needs to be handled. If a response is written, this method should return true to indicate that no more request handlers should be invoked for the request.

        Note that request handlers by default do not lock the session. If you are using VaadinSession or anything inside the VaadinSession you must ensure the session is locked. This can be done by extending SynchronizedRequestHandler or by using VaadinSession.accessSynchronously(Command) or UI.accessSynchronously(Command).
