Update TextField dynamicly

Hi

I have a TextField which I update when some data receives from an external source.

The view is not updated until I click a button, which do not have any listener added.

The gioal is to create a terminal component.

In the dataReceived function have I tried to use the validate() function, requestRepaint and use the valuechanged event.

Now for some code snippets:

Where the data is received:

@Override
    public void dataReceived(SshDataReceivedEvent sshDataReceivedEvent) {
        output.setReadOnly(false);
        this.output.setValue(output.getValue()+sshDataReceivedEvent.getData());
        output.setReadOnly(true);
    }

The creation of the GUI:

private void createUi(String caption) {

        cssLayout = new CssLayout() {
             @Override
            protected String getCss(Component c) {
                // colorize every third rendered brick
                if (c instanceof TextField) {
                    return "color: #00FF00; background-color: #000000;";
                }
                return null;
             }
        };

        output.setRows(24);
        output.setColumns(80);
        output.setReadOnly(true);
        output.setCaption("Command output");

        input.setColumns(80);
        input.setInputPrompt("command... ");
        input.setImmediate(true);
        input.addListener(this);

        executeButton.setCaption("Update view");
        this.addComponent(cssLayout);

        cssLayout.addComponent(output);
        cssLayout.addComponent(input);
        cssLayout.addComponent(executeButton);
    }

Hi,

The problem is that changes from the server-side cannot be pushed to the client-side. So the browser won't be refreshed until the client sends a request to the server. You can use ProgressIndicator or Refresher to poll UI changes.
