Trigger an action from the server using the Web Client

Classic Servoy
1

Hi everybody,

I have developed an Upload servlet for the Web Client version of my solution. Now I would like to trigger automatically an action on the intial page which launch the upload page, to updatge the details, when the upload is finished but I don’t know how!
The states would be like: Initial screen/form → Upload servlet → Initial screen/form updated with uploaded files details

I have tried several methods without success:

  • generating a “complete” file and try to make the client loop to find the file. But the loop blocked the application in fact
  • using the HTMLPanel bean to make the upload on the same intial screen. But the HTMLPanel is not working on the Web Client
  • once the upload is done, refreshing the page to go back to the initial one where the screen should be updated (using history.go(-2)). But it just load the cached page and don’t run the methods again.

Any suggestions ? :roll:

what does your uploadservlet output as its value?

There you can redirect to an url (like a solution url with method/param combo)
