Hi, Event I am a newbie in java and GWt, though how about partitioning your long job, as in... e.g. For a http call which needs to access names say 100,000 in number. I might actually partition this call in say 26 calls with each call querying names starting with each of the 26 alphabets... and on the callback of the first function I might update the user and make the second call and so on. Actually do a chaining... :)
Thats just a guess... may be that I might be totally wrong on this... :) Cheers, Amit Dhingra On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Palietta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have a GWT application which uses a remote service that does some > complex, and potentially long work.
