New Feature
Description
This can be provided by adding an optional feature to the bridge that would perform the following:
- As a call to submitFull() or submitPartial() is made the bridge will:
1. Set the cursor/pointer to an hourglass
2. Display a semi-transparent DIV over the current application UI, similar to the technique used by the modal dialog, but less opaque. The intention is to provide a subtle visual indication that the application is busy and also to prevent user interaction with the application via mouse.
- Once a response for the submit is received (or timed out, etc):
1. Remove/hide the semi-transparent DIV.
2. Restore the cursor/pointer to it's original shape (or to a pointer if that's impossible).
This feature can be enabled via a new config. param "com.icesoft.faces.blockUIWhenBusy", or maybe "com.icesoft.faces.blockUIOnSubmit".

What will be proposed effect when form is submitted from a modal popup?
Block UI and ignore following events during a submit/apply-update cycle. Enable functionality through "com.icesoft.faces.blockUIOnSubmit" context parameter.
Some slight tweaks to the original requirements:
• Make the overlay completely transparent. Otherwise it causes flickering which is obtrusive and annoying.
• Just use the Hourglass cursor to indicate busy state (and the outputConnectionStatus if that's on the page too).
• Make it enabled by default. We can revert if req. before final release.
• Add JS callbacks so users can disable the automatic feature and implement their own busy indicator strategy as desired (onSubmit, on Response?).
There is a serious issue with the current code. When this feature is enabled we are unable to load an ICEfaces page into IE6 or IE7.
Nasty error that IE displays when attempting to load ICEfaces page with blockUIOnSubmit=true specified.
Stop rendering the overlay. Leave in the request blocking for the interim submits
Block interim submits by default.
Added back the overlay. Fix issue with IE7 (see http://weblogs.asp.net/infinitiesloop/archive/2006/11/02/Dealing-with-IE-_2600_quot_3B00_Operation-Aborted_2600_quot_3B002E00_-Or_2C00_-how-to-Crash-IE.aspx ).
Render hourglass cursor in IE by serving up iframe's page with styled body element.
This is working well now.
One issue is that in IE the hourglass will not automatically change back to the arrow when the response is received unless you move the pointer/mouse, or some other JS is executed (google maps, for example).
This could be a concern for users, please see if you can resolve that glitch.
I think the glitch mentioned above is for Safari, not IE. I don't see it when using IE.
Resolved.
There is a follow-on JIRA (ICE-4226) for the hourglass cursor issue.
Due to issue ICE-4308 it was decided to have UI blocker disabled by default.
This feature also needs to work well with existing hourglass display techniques that exist around the ice:outputConnectionStatus component, see
ICE-3254.
