callserver method is getting called only once

aloks

I have a DCT,a js and a ipl.In DCT i have a loop in which i am calling a js each time passing a different parameter.From inside the js I am calling a ipl using the callserver() method.Ideally the for each value since the js is called for each loop the callserver should also call the ipl each time.
But whats happening is that the callserver is only getting called for the last iteration.
So my functionality is working only for the last iteration and not for the other one.

thanks

DCTs do not have loops - they have replicant containers, but not loops.
Javascript code embedded within the DCT might have loops.
callServer() calls are asynchronous and only a single instance can be run at any one time (if I recall correctly) - so if you're doing a tight loop with callServer invocations - then it makes sense that either only the first, or only the last invocation would actually work.

Not having any real understanding of what you are trying to accomplish, the only thing I can think of would be to have a single callServer() call that performs the loop within the callServer script rather than within the code embedded into the DCT.

callServer queuing framework was shared by some of our devnet-colleagues... wonderful stuff. Solves your problem.

Exact Prob:--
In the init method of the DCT i m calling a js function in a loop each time having a diff value as a parameter.Each iteration will take it to the js..inside js i m doin some stuff and setting values in param and then calling a ipl using callserver method.whats happening here is for example if I have 3 iteration then for each time or for each value the callserver should call the ipl...but in my case the ipl is getting called for the last iteration.

Ok, thats exactly how it is supposed to work. Because no matter how many loops/iterations you have, all your JS code is executed when initialised. So in turn all your loops are run through as well. And so if you have multiple call servers in the loops then only your last callserver is executed. So if you want to execute multiple callservers you have to follow the posts above. By just putting them in a loop with some conditions will not work.
