InvokeLater varying Client Experience

I have a script containing several functions that perform database updates and then call another function (custom method on root container) to set the State of all the components on the screen (mainly property bindings to update the user that the changes were committed and in fact updated on the backend). These updates need to be performed synchronously since there are intermediary calculations from the 1st database update that are used in the next database update and so on. So I have been using system.util.invokeLater with a 5 second delay to all enough time for the database to update before running the setState function and continuing with subsequent update queries.

So my question is the delay time in reference to the client session? On my PC, internet/vpn connection, the components update correctly. But for some other clients, they don’t see the updates. It’s like the 5 second delay isn’t long enough to update the the database and the components for that specific client. So is this a function of each client’s PC and connection? I don’t want to keep increasing the delay just to accommodate certain ‘slow’ clients.

Is their another way where I can ensure a promise (think Javascript) is resolved before setting the State of all the components to reflect the updates (i.e. eliminating the need for an arbitrary delay value)?

Fixed time delays are a terrible solution for varying operational delays. Try something like the techniques from this topic:

Promises are roughly equivalent to Java's "CompletableFuture".

Thanks @pturmel. I’ve been messing around with these functions for a little while and not sure when to use shared.later.invokeLater vs shared.later.callLater and also where to call these functions in the main script or within the functions. Issue I’m having is no consitency in the components updating on the GUI after button click.

Basically looking to do the following synchronously:

  1. Database table update 1
  • Refresh GUI components
  • Reassign GUI component properties
  1. Database table update 2
  • Refresh GUI components
  • Reassign GUI component properties
  1. Database table update 3
  • Refresh GUI components
  • Reassign GUI component properties
  1. Database table update 4
  • Refresh GUI components
  • Reassign GUI component properties
  1. Database table update 5
  • Refresh GUI components
  • Reassign GUI component properties

I modified the code below which is all contained in the actionPerformed event handler on a ‘Save Changes’ button on the screen.

	#set state of all components
	event.source.parent.parent.parent.parent.setState()
	return

I don’t see this working. To use system.db.refresh, you need to do the component path and the property, something like system.db.refresh(event.source.parent.getComponent('ContainerRawMaterial').getComponent('PTRawMaterial'), 'data') like you have in the following line. But if you roll out what your list comprehension, you have

system.db.refresh(event.source.parent, 'BSGeneralState'),
system.db.refresh(event.source.parent, 'CementKg'),
system.db.refresh(event.source.parent, 'LiquidKg'),
...

Which I don’t expect would do anything unless those are properties on the event.source.parent that have bindings. If those are components themselves, though, it should look more like your other statements. Something like

system.db.refresh(event.source.parent.getComponent('BSGeneralState'), 'data'),
system.db.refresh(event.source.parent.getComponent('CementKg'), 'data'),
system.db.refresh(event.source.parent.getComponent('LiquidKg'), 'data'),
...

Each of the components are custom properties on the event.source.parent that are bound

Ok just want to make sure all your bases are covered. I assume they’re non-polling sql queries bindings?

Correct all the bounds queries are set to no polling. The custom callLater wrapper doesn’t appear to wait for the future, it seems like it just runs immediately even with the .get() method.
