As the title states, I'm trying to use Whiteboard to host my VaadinServlet. After many failed attempts at using other embedded servlet containers such as Jetty and Grizzly, I came across this solution here, written by the Bndtools man himself, Peter. I've tried implementing this myself, but I'm getting an error I cannot solve myself:

I added empty constructors just for the hell of it to see if they changed anything but nope.
ClientUI and ClientServlet classes:
public class ClientUI extends UI
{
public ClientUI()
{
//Empty constructor.
}
@Override
public void init(VaadinRequest request)
{
//Typical UI initialization.
}
}
@VaadinServletConfiguration(productionMode = false, ui = ClientUI.class)
@Component(provide = Servlet.class, properties = {"alias=/test"}, immediate = true)
public class ClientServlet extends VaadinServlet
{
// Empty class. This class uses the annotations for servlet configuration instead of a web.xml.
public ClientServlet()
{
// Empty constructor.
}
}
Any idea on how to stop this error and get the servlet up and running?
Edit: New error! Steffen, who commented below, pointed out I may have needed to move the servlet class to a top-level class, in which I most likely did need to, but now I get this:

Also, this question may eventually be deleted. I'm looking at this Vaadin/OSGi EnRoute example that does what I need and I have confirmed that it works. I may just use the example provider and API for an application or create something similar. I will leave this question up for now just to provide to the knowledge of the internet and see if anyone can answer!
