Splash screen hiding [message #140816]

Hi everyone,

I've browsed this newsgroup and found some posts dealing with the
display of a splash screen at application startup (on the client side).
I managed to implement this for my application - thanks for the help!

My problem is that the body that I set in the
org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding extension point remains there for the
lifetime of the application (view page source confirms this).

But how do you hide it? Can someone propose an elegant solution?

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi Robert,

couldn't you make your application full-size so that the "splash" is in
the background and is never visible again? Sames as it is done in
http://rap.eclipsesource.com/rapdemo/examples.

Regards,
Stefan.

Hi Robert,

You can implement and register your PhaseListener. The afterPhase method
could be used to invoke javascript code through the HtmlResponseWriter:

HtmlResponseWriter writer =
ContextProvider.getStateInfo().getResponseWriter();
writer.write("closeBranding();");

Where closeBranding() could be your own javascript function bundled with
your branded page.

Hi Stefan,

Sure, my application is already maximized and covers the splash. I just
wanted a way to completely hide something which isn't needed at all
after startup (a cosmetic fix, agreed).

Dmitry's solution looks sound. I will try it and post back the results.

Regards,
Robert

BTW, this used to work fine in RAP 2.0 without any extra workarounds. I.e. the splash screen body (set via branding extensions) was automatically removed once the application finished loading.

I'm seeing this "new" behavior myself as we are attempting to migrate RAP 2.0 -> 2.2

Is this a bug in 2.2?
