Hi All.....
I have written a method in a java class that accesses the mysql backend db to check if a process is still running. If the process is still running, a JOptionPane is produced informing the user of this and offers an <ok> option(to check the process status again) and a <cancel> option(to redirect the user to the homepage). If the process is completed, I want the page to just load as normal. I want this method to be called before the visual web jsf page loads. I have the method call in the super_init() method of the page and everything seemed to be working fine, the problem I have run into is that if I set the value in the db to show the process is running, the JOptionPane is produced(like it should be), and then if I set the value to show the process has completed and choose <ok> from the pane, the page loads.....this is what I want. Now, after the page loads, if I set the value in the db to show the process is running again, the JOptionPane is produced again right after I apply the changes to the db edit!!!!. I don't know why this is happening. Should I be calling the method from somewhere other the super_init()????? I have tried the method call in the prerender(), preprocess(), and destroy() methods all with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be??
Thanks in advance.
