      Description

      This JIRA is a follow-on to an original issue believed resolved for 1.8.0 (ICE-3912).

      It seems that in some cases the issue still occurs on FF3 (comments copied from ICE-3912, which is closed since it released with 1.8):

      This issue doesn't appear to be fixed. I'm using 1.8.0 and I'm seeing the inputFile html disappear. It doesn't happen all the time, but seems to happen almost always when the method that does the upload takes 30 seconds or more to complete.

      Chad, which browser and version are you using? Is you internet connection stalling, or is the file just really large?

      Chad Brandon added a comment - 07/May/09 06:33 PM
      Thanks for the quick response Mark. The file is actually fairly small. But once I upload the file I run a process on it that takes about 30 seconds right after. The html seems to disappear about 2-5 seconds into the process (again not always, but most of the time; probably 3 out of 4 times). It happens in both firefox 3.0.10 and IE 8. Looking at the resulting html using firebug when the upload widget disappears I can see that the iframe that contains the component's contents no longer contains the html that it did before it disappeared.

      Just another note: the progress indicator correctly shows that the file was uploaded fine once the method completes, its just the inputFile component that completely disappears.

        Hi Mark,

        Can you please source us with the workaround. I'm quite newbie with icefaces and I'm facing this problem. I'm having dificulties to translate into code "spawning a thread to process your file, then when you're done your processing, just kick off a server push to update the display".

        Thanks in advance for your help.

        Could you elaborate on the workaround please.

        I face similar issue in Windows VISTA + IE8. I use icefaces 1.8.0. Tried even with 1.8.1. Still fails.

        Also, I have a preview option which works fine in IE7, but does not work in IE8 as page/section does not get refreshed.

        BTW, if it helps, I run this icefaces code in a portlet.

        All browsers behave the same, in that they give up on rendering the returned iframe content if the actionListener takes over 5 seconds. The actionListener should instead be coded to kick off a worker thread, and return immediately. The worker thread can do a server push, when it's done, if necessary.

        I can comfirm that large files were not an issue. But, putting a 10 second delay in my actionListener showed me that FF3, IE6, Opera and Safari all showed the inputFile disappear after 5 seconds of delay.
