Hello and congratulations for going OS!
I am looking for a design pattern that would allow me to display an houglass or statut message on the whole page while it is loading. My page is as follows:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<%@taglib prefix="a4j" uri="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<f:view>
<a4j:region id="region" selfRendered="true">
<a4j:outputPanel layout="block" styleClass="box">
<a4j:status startText="Please wait..." stopText="Idle/Done"/>
</a4j:outputPanel>
<f:verbatim>
<br /><br />
</f:verbatim>
<jsp:include page="includes/debugInfo.jsp"/>
<f:verbatim>
<br /><br />
</f:verbatim>
<h:form id="formOne">
<jsp:include page="includes/tradeDetails.jsp"/>
</h:form>
<jsp:include page="includes/tradeClientsAndQuantities.jsp"/>
</a4j:region>
</f:view>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the line here:
<jsp:include page="includes/tradeDetails.jsp"/> is taking ages to load and there is not much I can do to improve this behavior.
How can I display an animated gif on the whole page whilst the page is loading??????
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
