Hello RAP-Community!

I followed the Google Maps custom widget tutorial on eclipse help. To make requests from client to server it is possible to use the org.eclipse.swt.Request.getInstance().addParameter() method.

In the LCA on the server I have to read out that paramaters and store them in my object. The question is: Does the Request-object have some other methods besides the "addParameter" method? Is there any documentation for the clientside JavaScript of RWT?

My problem is: I want to call a method from JavaScript form the clientside. That method does some modifications to other widgets (e. G. makes them vissible/invisible). I am calling that method out of the preserveValues method of the LCA of my custom widget. It works fine so far!
But I don't think this is a good method, since I don't know if the values of all widget that could be modifiend have been already preserved.

So maybe it is possible to fire an event directly form the Request-Object on a registered listener. Because this is done in the "processAction"-pahse all values have been surely preserved.

Best regards
Eduard

Hi Eduard,

if you really need to execute something in the process action phase,
simply wrap it in ProcessActionRunner like:
public void readData( final Widget widget ) {
// read your properties from the client
ProcessActionRunner.add( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// set them to the java widget in process action phase
}
} );
}

HTH,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

thank you for your hint. It works perfectly!

Here the affected code in the LCA. Probably someone else could use this too.

@Override
	public void readData(Widget widget) {
		 final CustomWidgetHelper helper = (  CustomWidgetHelper )widget;
		 String mouseclick = WidgetLCAUtil.readPropertyValue( helper, "mouseclicked" );
		 String browserResized = WidgetLCAUtil.readPropertyValue( helper, "browserresized" );

		 if(mouseclick != null){
			 helper.clicked = true;
		 }
		 if(browserResized != null){
			 helper.browserResized = true;
		 }
		 
		 // call methods in the process action phase
		 ProcessActionRunner.add(new Runnable() {
			
			@Override
			public void run() {
				if (helper.clicked) {
					helper.mouseClicked();
					helper.clicked = false;
				}

				if (helper.browserResized) {
					System.out.println("browserResized");
					helper.browserResized();
					helper.browserResized = false;
				}
			}
		});

	}


This code is basically part of a resize and mouse click listner for the Display since there is no native support for that in RAP.

Best regards
Eduard
