Is there any alternative for Action Poller?

Hi

Is there any alternative for this. Thank you

Yes,

 

Using Javascript we can invoke apex controller action in specified Interval.

 

example:-

 

 

<script language="javascript">
     var int=self.setInterval(function(){callActionFunction()},10000);
     function callActionFunction(){
          ActionFunctionName();
      }
</script>

Note:-  Mark this as a Solution if it is useful.

hitesh90hitesh90

whenever visualforce page is loaded this javascript will execute in every 10 sec.

so it's call apex action function in every 10 second.

 

here is the full code.

 

<apex:page >
    <script language="javascript">
        var int=self.setInterval(function(){callActionFunction()},10000);
        function callActionFunction(){
            ActionFunctionName();
        }
    </script>
    <apex:actionFunction action="{!ControllerAction}" name="ActionFunctionName"/>
</apex:page>
