Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Oracle Forms 5.0 rendering delay. Possible solutions.. Brain Storming welcome..
We are using/developing web enabled Oracle Forms 5.0 and
viewing them through Netscape. Our first page is an html
form with some javascript buttons. Depending on what button
is pushed a diffent tree of Menus/Forms is followed.
Problem is the forms are actually Java Applets, which
when initially launched can take upwards of a minute to
a minute and half to render. I myself, being the programmer,
have clicked and clicked and clicked wondering if the
damn things were ever going to render, which, eventually, they
will if you have patience. "Java is a dog..." Especially when
it first starts.
So.. Heres the question.
I need to put a download guage or please wait message or something in between the button click and the downloaded oracle applet so the customer does not click every button in disgust thinking the forms are not working. They are used to the immediate response of Terminal based Oracle Forms 3.0. (Really Quick!) A simple "Please Wait..." message in a dialog would be nice if it went away as soon as the form was loaded. However, a java download guage would even be better, if such a thing exits. Any ideas of how to speed up rendering the Web Enabled Oracle Form would also be of interest. Any ideas, suggestions, implementations, tricks would be appreciated... Received on Fri Nov 13 1998 - 10:28:53 CST
