i'm doing a function in gwt it sends an IQ stanza into a server and has to wait for the server answer in the function i make the handler that waits for the answer from the server to that IQ stanza so what i need is for the function to wait until i get the response from the server and after that do other stuff i'm a beginner in gwt so any thoughts would be great thanks public void getServices() { IQ iq = new IQ(IQ.Type.get); iq.setAttribute("to", session.getDomainName()); iq.addChild("query", "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items"); session.addResponseHandler(iq, new ResponseHandler() { public void onError(IQ iq, ErrorType errorType, ErrorCondition errorCondition, String text) { <do stuff> } public void onResult(IQ iq) { <do stuff> } }); session.send(iq); <after receiving answer do stuff> }
