Hey how to get the time of the computer and not the server using vaadin because getDate return to me the time of the server but i want the client computer time ??

Answer 1

Vaadin has a class called WebBrowser that provides useful information about the client (browser):

You can access the current WebBrowser instance for example as follows:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void init() {
        setMainWindow(new Window());

        ApplicationContext context = this.getContext();
        if (context instanceof WebApplicationContext) {
            WebBrowser webBrowser = ((WebApplicationContext) this.getContext()).getBrowser();

            Date now = webBrowser.getCurrentDate(); // Returns the current date and time on the browser
        }
    }
}

For more information about the WebBrowser class, see its JavaDocs.
