    How to handle a return value from callback handler in Seam remoting

    asookazian

      Please describe how I can return the boolean value from the js function below to the caller in the onclick event handler.  It's not working this way.

      <script type="text/javascript">
           function showWarning() {     
               var myVar;     
               var callback = function(result) { 
                                        if (result == null || result == '') {
                                              myVar = confirm('No interchange programs were assigned to rate category.  Are you sure you want to proceed with saving?');
                                              alert('myVar = '+myVar);
                                                              //return myVar; <-- is it legal to return from here and will it get back to the caller in the onclick handler?                                        
                                       }
                                        else {
                                              myVar = true;
                                        }
                                    };
               Seam.Remoting.getContext().setConversationId( #{conversation.id} );
               Seam.Component.getInstance("merchantBillingGroupEditorUI").getSelectedRateCategory(callback);   
               alert('myVar 2nd time = '+myVar);
               return myVar;      
               
               /*var result = Seam.Component.getInstance("merchantBillingGroupEditorUI").getSelectedRateCategory();
               alert('result = '+result);
               if (result == null || result == '') {
                        return confirm('No interchange programs were assigned to rate category.  Are you sure you want to proceed with saving?');                                        
               }*/
           }



      <a4j:commandLink styleClass="widget_button"
                      rendered="#{pageaction != 'view'}"
                      style="float:right"
                      action="#{merchantBillingGroupEditorUI.submit}"
                      onclick="if (!showWarning()) return false;">
                      <span><h:outputText value="Finish" /></span>
                      <j4j:idProxy id="nextButton" />
