[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBSEAM-855) Client-API for Monitoring Download Progress of large amounts of data

Client-API for Monitoring Download Progress of large amounts of data --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-855 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-855 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Remoting Reporter: Stefan Frank Assignee: Shane Bryzak Priority: Optional If you transport larger chunks of data via remoting, it is currently not possible to monitor the download progress. The effect is, that you can only display an unqualified busy-animation to the user. We implement this manually right now, by breaking down the date into smaller chunks and then reporting back the progress based on the downloaded chunks vs. the total number. of chunks. An enhancement would be to have: - a possibility to register a callback for progres on the client - a feature to have the data(especially collections) chopped up automatically and sent in smaller chunks (maybe some annotations as hint?!) This would make it possible to display a proper progress-bar on the client and report back, that the download is still running.
