Ok, I'm too naive. A newbie :-) I have to put some images over the Google Maps. Then, I have a servlet that gets the image from a database, and sends it to the application. This is:
var icon = new GIcon(); icon.image = "http://myapp/getImage?id="; + imageId; I want to repeat the call that obtains the image (the servlet call) to prevent errors (timeout, net), because, sometimes, I lose some images for communication problems. What's the correct way to do this?
