Class StatusFeedback

java.lang.Object
  wt.feedback.StatusFeedback

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable, MethodFeedback

public class StatusFeedback
extends Object
implements MethodFeedback, Externalizable

Feedback object to carry status messages to client. This class can be used by server-side emthods to push status messages to a client while an operation is being performed.

This class implements Externalizable as a performance improvement over Serializable.

If any of the elements in the textInserts array is itself an array, then the implementation will use the multi-object WTMessage.getMessages(String,String,Object[]) API to generate a multi-object status message.

Supported API: true
Extendable: true

Method Detail

execute

public void execute()

Perform feedback operation in client. This method is automatically invoked when the feedback is received in the client's RMI reply marshalling stream. If the calling thread is an instance of WTThread, the thread's status property is set to this objects status value. If the calling thread is not an instance of WTThread, the status is sent to the current thread's WTContext object's showStatus messages, which typically displays it in a browser window's status area.

Supported API: true
