Change interval of a4j:poll?

[pinaev]

I need to be able to poll every 60 seconds. However, when I specify the interval at 60 seconds and render the page, the first polling occurs only after 60 seconds. I need it to happen right after the page is loaded and only then every 60 seconds. If there a way to achieve this?

It would be nice if the pool was not bound to a backend component... Perhaps there is a way to change the interval of an "a4j:poll" on the client side using javascript...

Thanks!

Hello pinaev,

Could you use the window.onload?

E..g,

<script type="text/javascript">
 window.onload = whateverThePollDoes;
</script>

Then create the javascript f(), possibly with a4j:jsFunction:

 <a4j:region>
 <a4j:jsFunction
 name="whateverThePollDoes"
 reRender="whatever the poll renders"
 action="#{whatever.the.poll.action.is}" >
 </a4j:jsFunction>
 </a4j:region>

Using polling worked for my problem with the selectManyPicklist control.
