"Wait Modal Panel"

[tspragg1025]

I have the situation where when the user makes a call to the managed bean I need to display a "Waiting" Modal panel and poll the database until a value gets updated. When that value gets updated I will return control to the user. The problem is that the Modal panel gets released before the actual database change is made. I need to keep the user from pressing any buttons until the process is complete.

Any Ideas.

I have tried the progress bar to no avail.

I thought of polling or even pushing but not sure how to make this work.

Thanks for any ideas or Help.

which version of richfaces are you using?

do you use an a4j:poll to fetch the data or: check if the database queries are completed?

If you are simple doing an action like from a a4j:commandLink or something similar, you could use a4j:status to show a modaldialog (i'd use jquery dialogs here not the buildin rf modalpanels) when the request begins and hide it when it's done.

Hello Thomas,

you can do something like this :

<a4j:commandButton actionListener="#{yourDBPollMethod}"

                                onbegin="#{rich:component('waitPopup')}.show();"

                                oncomplete="#{rich:component('waitPopup')}.hide();"/>

regards.
