Additional DWR features

Additional DWR features

  • DWR makes it easy to display a "Loading..." indicator.
  • Exposes a pre- and post- hook after some remote operation takes place:
    • DWREngine.setPreHook(function)
    • DWREngine.setPostHook(function)
  • Worried about latency? DWR allows you to batch opereations:
    • DWREngine.beginBatch()
    • DWREngine.endBatch()
  • Race conditions caused by asynchronicity got you down?
    • DWREngine.setOrdered(true) forces serial FIFO execution of DWR requests
  • Once the application is up, you can check all the services/methods exposed at:
    http://[host]:[port]/[context]/dwr/
  • You can use DWRUtil.toDescriptiveString(object, level) to investigate the content of the specified object to a certain level. For example,
    // To display ojb1 if obj1 exists, use:
dojo.debug(DWRUtil.toDescriptiveString(obj, 1);

// If obj1 contains a reference to obj2 and you want to
// investigate obj2's properties, use:
dojo.debug(DWRUtil.toDescriptiveString(obj, 2);
