Response from GWT RPC is asynchronous. Asynchrony (condition of being asynchronous), is a desirable form of communication between browser and server because it allows avoiding your web page from becoming unresponsive while waiting for the response from the server.
Therefore, you have to take steps to synchronize or ensure sequence integrity by either - rewriting your server-side to manage sequencing - or setting up a buffer on your client-side - or a combination of both. If the request sequence from the browser is cell5-cell10-cell2, you could ensure that the server side would not send the response in the sequence cell2-cell5-cell10 but in the sequence cell5-cell10-cell2. You also need to manage the time-outs. What if cell5 request is very complex calculation requiring the server 5 minutes to complete, whereas cell2 and cell10 requires only milliseconds? I am also curious why you would not let cell2 be displayed first while waiting for cell5, even though cell2 was requested last? If there is a dependency cell2 has on cell5, then that dependency should be resolved at the server side as much as possible. If there is no dependency, I don't see any good reason not to display it first. You could disable it from being edited while waiting for cell5. If you do not wish write code for all this complexity, you should abandon php code on the server side and use for example Vaadin (vaadin.com) to manage it for you. I know there are other session- managed framework for ajax but I find that vaadin is the most robust and closest to GWT. I am sure that must be session-managed php frameworks somewhere out there, too, but I am unfamiliar with php to make any recommendations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
