[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-7305) a4j:poll interval - inaccurate doc

a4j:poll interval - inaccurate doc ---------------------------------- Key: RF-7305 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7305 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Task Components: doc Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Kai Gülzau Current doc for a4j:poll interval is "Interval (in ms) for call poll requests. Default value is "1000"ms (1 second)." In fact this value is _not_ the interval for polling but the time between last poll response (or last timeout) and new poll request. The polling interval calculates as: network delay send request + server processing time + network delay get response + a4j:poll interval Example: <a4j:poll interval="5000" timeout="30000" ...> If network is bad and all poll requests get lost the actual poll interval is 35sec not 5sec. This should be stated in the docs. Futhermore docs should notice, that polling does not start at once but with a delay of "interval".
