Nesting Comet inside LazyLoad which is itself inside a Comet Actor doesn't work

[gravelld]

Mailing List thread

Example page in a wider project - you know how to find the Scala code.

I have a Comet Actor which uses LazyLoad.render programmatically to lazy load part of its display. When the lazy loading is complete the rendered NodeSeq contains further Comet Actors. These display initially, however no further updates occur - rerendering of the nested Comet Actors are not passed to the page.

Workaround

Create your own MyLazyLoad Actor and, if required programmatically, initialise it as so:

S.findOrCreateComet("MyLazyLoad", Full(Helpers.nextFuncName), ns, S.attrsFlattenToMap, true).map { foundComet =>
  foundComet ! MyLazyLoad.Init(initData)
  Comet.containerForCometActor(foundComet, Full(ns))
} match {
  case Full(cometContainer) => cometContainer
  case failedResult => throw new IllegalArgumentException(s"$failedResult")
}
