(Quick Reference)

location

Purpose

Adds the tag's body to the specified location in the parent container.

Examples

Take a GSP layout template called /grails-app/views/vaadin/layouts/greetinglayout.gsp with the following content:

<h1>Greeting<h1>
<div location="mygreeting"></div>

This could then be applied as a layout template for another GSP, like so:

<v:layout name="greetinglayout">
  <v:location name="mygreeting">
    <div>Hello World!</div>
  </v:location>
</v:label>

The resulting HTML would (effectively) be:

<h1>Greeting<h1>
<div location="mygreeting"><div>Hello World!</div></div>

This is an indication of the type of HTML that would be created, but it is not exact as Vaadin has its own rules for rendering CustomLayout components.
