Hi all, I have a GWT application which uses a remote service that does some complex, and potentially long work. However, I don't want to hold the user unaware of the status of their request for too long. So I would like a way for the client app to receive frequent information on the service status, which would be posted to the UI in real time.
I've unsuccessfully tried the following way: The client makes a call to the remote service, which starts doing its job. The service itself, in turn, modifies some state variable during the course of its computation. So I created a client-side Timer which, every second, polls another remote service that simply returns this state variable. This timer is started right before the main service is called, and is halted after the service returns. Being these calls asynchronous, this method didn't work. All scheduled Timer calls returned after the main service altogether. I know it might be a dumb question, but it would really be helpful for me to be able to provide the user with continued feedback on the state of the service they called.
