schedule an action for next idle time???

[Magnus]

Hello,

I need to execute some code *after* all pending rpc calls have
terminated, e. g.:

...
void onModuleLoad()
{
doRPCcalls();

scheduledAction();
}

void scheduledAction()
{
Window.alert("This should be called after all RPC calls have
terminated");
}

I want to avoid placing the scheduled actions somewhere in the
onSuccess method of the RPC call. I just want to say "do this when the
current tasks are done".

Can I do this somehow?

Thanks
Magnus

I would say your only choice is to count all active/pending RPC calls, along with firing an IdleEvent (counter == 0) and BusyEvent (counter > 0) on the event bus. How you easily count RPC calls somehow depends on your current app design. 

If you use RequestFactory you can probably use a custom RequestTransport implementation that counts pending requests. 

For GWT-RPC you probably have to wrap each RPC service in an additional class (which implements your service interface and delegates to the real service) so you can add additional functionalities (e.g. counting) when doing RPC method calls.

For GWT-RPC, you can use a RpcRequestBuilder.

Hi Thomas,

thank you! Can you give a link to a tutorial/documentation on how to do this?

I can only find the API docs, but these are not self-explanatory...
