Re: Design discussion

Scott,

No, This shouldnt be a image on the screen. The icon should exist on the windows toolbar.

our current client/server app has a flashing icon which flashes when a new message arrives. This icon exists in the tool bar and its there

when we first login to the app. Now the same feature needs to be put in a web based app. when a

new message arrives, the icon should flash.

Thanks

Maya,

Just about anyone with some basic web design software can create a gif that will flash on the screen.

If the user DOES NOT HAVE messages, the page will return <img> pointing to the image source that doesn't flash.

If the user DOES HAVE messages, <img>' src attribute will point to the gif that does flash.

Thanks everyone for their inputs.

I have another question with regards to the flashing icon.

Currently the icon exists in the tool bar. How can we have the icon in the tool bar from a web app ?

you can build an applet that runs invisible in your jsp page...the applet will be waiting for server notifications. Every time the applet receives a notification, it can forces your web page to refresh data. For server side, you should implement a simple server that will have a private session for every connected appplet.

Hope this helps.

I saw a product once that used Javascript to interact with an applet, which then established network connections on its behalf. I think in that case it was only using straight "pull" HTTP requests, but presumably you could open a connection that would accept a server-initiated "push".

I would expect such an approach to be pretty involved, but you might want to research it more.
