Hi,

I the demo workplace, there is noticed for the asynchronous upload: "Of course you could use a timer component as well for regular checking if the file upload has finished."

(How) can I activate the timer only during the upload?

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

this is a good question! The upload event is not sent as "ActionEvent", it only activates the URL it is bound to. So you cannot start a dynamically controlled timer...

We could update the file upload (synch): so that it calls a certain ActionEvent after upload has finished. I think this would solve the problem and remove the necessity of a timer.

OK?

Hi Björn,

With synch upload it works already: The (uploaded) information is immediately rendered after upload. But I must use async upload because the files are quite large and I have memory problems with synch upload.

Although not elegant, it could be sufficient for my purposes to induce the user to push the refresh button after upload is finished. Is it possible to make the window "Übertragung zum Server" customizable in order to write a specific message in it? By the way, the push button text is mispelled (Abberchen). In second thoughts, this wouldnt be nice if the file is small: short time to read the message. Is it possible to advance an OK-Popup (or generally send an action event) when upload button is pressed, before upload starts? Perhaps I could do this myself, embedding the upload button in a popup window?

Hi Daniel,

yes...:
I think the best solution is if the asynch upload can be customized to invoke a normal server side call (i.e. action listener) is called after having finished the upload. Then the UI can sync on its own, no timer/refresh button is requiered. The effort on our side is quite low for this.

and...:
Own message in this dialog... - maybe I should understand your scenario a bit better. Could you explain what your sequence of steps for the user is/should be? Thanks!

"Abberchen", thanks + already fixed with this week's update.

This would be absolutely great!

This was just trying a workaround. If you implement your best solution above, no need for "own message in this dialog".

I tried every time not to notice it, but it catched always my eyes...

Hi Björn

In the last CC version, I didnt find the customization of asynch upload. Still to come?
