Hi,
I was wondering if anyone implemented so far a generic way to load a component in a separate thread. For instance, we have tables displaying content with complex data aggregation. Loading the container may take some time (~5 seconds) and we don’t want to block the UI while the container is loading.
So one idea would be to display a loading indicator (a spin or something like that), load the container in a separate thread and when the container is initialized, replace the loading sign by the actual table.
Due to the Vaadin architecture and its component model, I think it would be quite easy to make that generic (and handle component sizing accordingly). Is there any add-on or something in core Vaadin that would do that?
Thanks,
S.
