Answer 1

So now how to get the user agent of the embedded browser ? Is there any way to get this?

To get the user-agent string do the following:

Vaadin7:

WebBrowser webBrowser = Page.getCurrent().getWebBrowser();
webBrowser.getBrowserApplication(); // Get the browser user-agent string.

Vaadin6:

WebBrowser browser = (WebBrowser) myApplication.getMainWindow().getTerminal();
