Re: GWT + GAE : how to handle communication failure...

Thank you for the answer.

I am curious about the GUIDS... how do you create it?

In my case I just send an object to the server using RPC.

the item is just a few bytes because it's the comment that a user enters in a text box. (So the size cannot be a problem).

but if the connection is the "send" fails, I want to try to send it again automatically.

Sometimes the problem is that the message is send two times because of the scenario that I described above.

Can you please tell me about the GUIDS... which library are you using?

thanks

What is the key of the object?

To store in AppEngine Datastore, we use GUIDs and just generate them on the client side. Multiple saves just overwrite.

It sounds like your object might be too big.

Hello.

I have a question concerning: how to handle communication failure...

The best way to explain my problem is to give an exemple:

In my app, the user has a gwt UI page where he creates an "item" when he has finished to fill all the requested information, he clics on a "save button" which is going to call the server using RPC:

serverService.saveBarterItem(saveItemRequest, new AsyncCallback<SaveBarterItemResult>() {

public void onSuccess(SaveBarterItemResult result) {}

public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {}

});

in my exemple, when everything is going ok, the server returns an object "SaveBarterItemResult".

imagine that the object that should be returned is very big in size (for exemple 3 MB).

NOW imagine the following scenario:

the client (the browser of the user) successfully reach the server.

the server (which is a GAE) save the "item" in the DB and starts returning the result.

then the internet of the client is lost....

-->

the onFailure function is called in the browser...

which makes the user  think that the "item" has not been send successfully... (whereas in fact it has been send successfully and it has also been saved successfully)

 

THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE is that I have no way to know that the item has been saved successfully on the server.

(so the normal way for my gwt app to behave would be to let the user click on the save button again... but if he does, then his item will be saved two times...)

HOW  DO YOU USUALLY HANDLE THIS?
