Ajax polling of a conversation Bean

[fterrier]

Hello everyone,

I need to regularly poll the progress of a really long operation (getting data from a web service) running in a conversation bean. I do that with Seam Remoting using a @WebRemote annotated method in the conversation bean. Everything works flawlessly, except that when my remote call tries to access the conversation bean, it can't because the thread running my long operation already holds the bean. The result is that Seam creates a new conversation bean for my remote call, causing my Remote call to return incorrect data.

Has anyone had this problem before ? I am ready to provide more information if needed.

Alter the concurrent request timeout in components.xml. You can't have concurrent requests to convesation scoped components.

Its currently not possible to set the concurrent request timeout on a finer grain than this :(

Hi Francois

Have you looked into RichFaces? They have a poll component which is very easy to use.

Not sure your problem is solved by this, just an fyi :)
