Issue
I was wondering how to preserve an application when the user leave the application completly by going to another site (for example when the user logs into the application and then goes to nytimes.com and then comes back to the application some components go missing). To preserve the application on a refresh you can use the @PreserveOnRefresh annotation, but this does not preserve the application when you leave it. The header, menu and footer are disappearing. These three components are have their own class and are only declared in the main ui. Each view (or page) has its own class (which sit between the menu and the footer). Everything works fine until the user leaves the webpage and comes back the header, menu, and footer disapear So my question is how to preserve my vaadin application when the user leaves it and comes back?
Solution
To solve this situation you can add a listener to the navigator which will get the uri to the page you are going to and check your permissions. If you do not have permission it will keep you on the same page and give you a notification saying that you are not allowed to go to this page. If they are allowed you will proceed to direct them to that page.
