Finding out when actionLink action is completed on the user side
Hi everybody,
I have an actionLink, which action returns the pdf document from the
server. The document is dynamically generated, so it can take few seconds
to deliver it to the user. I want to prevent the user from clicking on the
actionLink multiple times. I can block it in java script after the click
event occurrs, but I don't know how to find out when to unblock it.
Is there a way to find out when the document is received by the user and
then unblock the actionLink? I found one possible solution, but it seems
like an overhead:

Is there a more tapestry way to do it?
Here is the actionLink code:
<t:actionLink
t:id="downloadDocumentAsPdf" context="document.document_id"
target="_blank">
${message:download.document.as.pdf}
</t:actionLink>

Sure, the equivalent in 5.3 is to use t:zone or better: write a mixin and add a custom listener to your link.
I once wrote a very generic mixin that you can use as click or change (or any event) listener:

I think there are also similar examples to be found here: http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart/examples/input/atonevent/0

Right now we are using Tapestry 5.3.7 and upgrading is unlikely, so the
async option is out of the reach, I think. I also do not want to open the
save-file-dialog by default (the requirement from the client).
I will check the FileSaver as soon as I can.
Is there a possibility that the zones could be used to refresh the button
state (changing from disabled to enabled)?

you could use t:async="true“ instead and return the pdf along with some custom script that re-activates your button.
the binary of the pdf could be passed into FileSaver[0] to create the save-file-dialog of the browser. while all this happens you could show a progress indicator to the user.
if you find this too complicated you could keep the traditional requests but maybe open a popup that triggers the download.
