I'm okay for blocking one part of the application or the whole for global processing (login...). What I dislike is application blocking me when I just ask for a little component to upgrade. Like if you have a iGoogle page and click refresh on one widget block all widgets ;). Olivier On 10 juin,

Carl, Your proposal is interesting. But as a user, if I have to wait, I leave... So many be an application needing some wait a minute popup is not a good approach for the future. Imagine your browser putting a popup each time a page is loading. Tabs will become useless, multi- core computer too

I'm on the synchronous calls are the wrong approach side, but what would really be useful would be some utility classes that allowed synchronous like approaches. Specifically : - an async batcher that given a list of async services calls all at once and then executes a specified action when all

i completely agree with you Oliver! i said already that i think that sync-rpc is a really bad idea in this case. which was already addressed in detail by you and others. my point was against the spirit of the gwt team to do not give the developer the choice to use sync requests if he wants to.

Many languages restrict what you can do when that thing is practically never a good idea given their design model - Java doesn't let you access pointers so developers can stick their scissors in the proverbial pointer-arithmetic electrical outlet. Even your issue had nothing to do with the async

i still see many people trying actually to use async calls only because they do not have any choice and without understanding the idea (and trying to fit async calls in sync design).. i think that if beginners could start with sync requests, and see the problems with them, they will better learn

Hi, Despite that i wrote the patch for sync-rpc, I completely agree with kozura that in this case sync-rpc would be a bad idea. BUT, who cares? if fomba wants to use it, it is up to him, if his application is not responsive it is his problem not mine. (this reminds me the apple-adobe conflict:

We have implemented synchronous calls in our project, but we had to make changes to the source code of GWT and create our own distribution. It has been working well for us, but try and limit its use to short calls to the server that run quickly since it will freeze up all browsers completely
