I am developing a WebCallBack application.
When the user enters his phone number and presses the CallMeNow (Submit)
Button, a call is made to this number from the switch. Actually what I
am doing is that when he submits this phone number, a servlet is loaded.
This servlet calls the necessary methods to make call to the user. I
even want to keep the client updated about the progess of the call...ie
The wait time and no of calls ahead of him in the queue.
Sequence of methods in Servlet:
Connection C1 = new Connection( ) ;
connection_id = C1.connect( );
C1.send_data(phone) ;
C1.get_event( connection_id ) ;
The get_event( ) method returns :
"Estimated wait time for the call" and the
"number of calls in the queue".
Actually I want to display this to the user, but these parameters are
updated every 5 seconds, so HOW do I implement this ???
Should I make requests after every 5 seconds to get an updated status
???
If I put the C1.get_event( connection_id) in a loop and if the Estimated
wait time is 50 seconds, I don't get any HTML data on the screen till
50 seconds. Only after the entire servlet is processed, I get the
status,...which does not help, since I want this status to be updated in
the client's screen after every 5 seconds.
I tried using the " Refresh" concept in the servlet so that the page is
loaded after every 5 seconds, but then I will have to create multiple
instances of Connection class which is not feasible as it is the same
call.
Is there a method to pass this Connection C1 object within mulitple
calls to the servlet ???
Any help would be appreciated !!!!
Thanks in Advance,
