It is easy and quick to create a table in Vaadin. Because Table is managed using the data model through the Container, we don't need to care about table rendering. We can manage only the Container and Vaadin provides other stuff such as nice default CSS style, sorting values by clicking on the head of the column, resizing width of columns by the mouse, and other great functions. In relation to the previous recipe, Container is a set of Items. In this recipe, we will show how to quickly and easily create a table by Vaadin Container.

   public class Product {
     private int id;
     private String name;
     private double price...
