Hi,

I'm constructing a web site which uses a smart card for authentication  and a java applet is used to check whether the card is still in the card  reader for every 2 seconds. The applet works fine in all of the pages,  namely when the card is pulled out the user is logged out, however if a  page contains a button whose onclick shows a standard rich:modalpanel ,  when the button is clicked for the first time the modal panel is shown  about 4- 5 minutes later!!  While the modal panel is on the applet works fine, that is when we pull the card out while the modal panel is shown the user is again  logged out and redirected to the main page. In addition if the modal  panel is closed and its related button is clicked again, this time the  modal panel is rendered on time...

The applet is not shown in the modal panel. It is in the base page and it is made invisible by using this code sample , we want it to run as a standalone application at the background.. The applet is loaded when each base page is rendered.

I' m using jboss-seam-2.1.1 GA and richfaces 3.2.2.SR1 .

I would really appreciate if someone could help me to find out why the modal panel does not show up on time when the applet works at the background.

Thanks.
