[Seaside] Showing progress

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Jupiter.

not a perfect answer, but what I'd try is forking the actual processing 
as a background process on the server and add two inst vars to the 
component:

* processingDone
* currentProgressMessage

which would be updated by the background process as it progresses 
through its job.

The first ajax call would be finished right after forking the background 
process, so teh browser would get an instant answer. All you need to do 
then is set up a timeOut() and have the browser ask for the current 
progress by issueing ajax calls every, say, 750-1000msec, until the 
server responds with "processingDone=true".

The problem is, I have written something like this in Javascript, where 
I registered a callback for the progress message in renderContentOn: , 
but have no idea how to do it in Seaside's javascript rendering methods.

I hope this idea helps you get a step further.
