Re: Asynchronous communication from server to client

I've started using timers combined with a state/transition matrix. I've offered a simple example below. The basic idea is to keep a 'state' variable with the current state in the program logic. When you initiate a asynchronous call, you move the state to LOADING. When the call is complete, you

*Coding style*: Several things. Why aren't your state variables part of an enum? Why aren't you using a switch statement instead of 10 if/else ifs. *Architecture*: Why are you using a timer that will do nothing most of the time? You're just putting load on the client unnecessarily. Why are

Hello, Is there a possibility in GWT to communicate asynchronously from server to client? The only solution which I've found is to use Timer as it's showed there http://www.gwtapps.com/doc/html/com.google.gwt.user.client.Timer.html , but then calls will be synchronous. What solution do you
