How to do delayed zone reload in Tapestry?

Question

Is there a way to do a delayed zone reload in Tapestry.

I have a not-so-quick operation I perform when I submit a form. The results are visible after a few seconds (usually 2 or 3).

Is there a way to do a delayed zone reload, which would show some indicator that the zone will reload in x seconds and then perform the actual reload?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Normally the zone update requests are blocked at Java side. But as you say your application does not work in a single threaded way you can use PeriodicZoneUpdater. Where your client is polling for updates

OTHER TIPS

You can populate the zone with a throbber (or some text) while you wait

Or you can get some inspiration from the ProgressLink component which keeps polling a serverside task for it's percentage complete until it hits 100%
