Paul Lindner commented on SHINDIG-441:
--------------------------------------
I like! This will simplify a lot of code where we have to create RPC code for
forward and reverse calls.
Thanks!
> Asynchronous rpc handler support

> Key: SHINDIG-441
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-441
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Features (Javascript)
> Reporter: Zhen Wang
>
> Currently an gadget rpc handler must be synchronous. Its return value is
> immediately passed back to the rpc caller if a callback function is defined.
> This prevents an rpc request handler to make some asynchronous calls and
> return a value later.
> Proposed solution:
> Add a callback method to the rpc context object for an rpc request handler to
> return a value asynchronously.
> This won't affect existing code. Synchronous handlers may simply ignore the
> change and return a value as usual while async handlers don't return a value
> immediately and call "this.callback(return_value);" when ready.
> Patch to rpc.js:
> 232,236d231
> < if (rpc.c) {
> < rpc.callback = function(result) {
> < gadgets.rpc.call(rpc.f, CALLBACK_NAME, null, rpc.c, result);
> < };
> < }
> 242c237
> < if (rpc.c && typeof result != 'undefined') {
> ---
> > if (rpc.c) {
