      Hi Abhilasha,

      One option you have is to use in progress dialog box while the REST is fetching the result.

      Refer JET demo (https://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jet/jetCookbook.html?component=dialog&demo=progressbar)

      You can drop a dialog component on your page and add <oj-progress class="oj-progress-bar-embedded" id="progressbar" value="-1"> inside body.

      Open in progress dialog before calling REST and closing after the REST call.

        Hi Preetesh,

        This does the job but only thing that concerns me now is there is a cancel icon available on the dialog. if someone clicks on the the dialog will close the user will try to do other activity on the page, which is not good. Let me know if you have any idea how to get that as expected.

        Thanks,

        Abhilasha

      You may find that the oj-sample-show-when-ready component provides a convenient way to do this.  You can find that by clicking on the Components tab on the Left hand vertical tab menu of Visual Builder and installing that into your project.  You can then control a spinner based on a simple boolean condition

        Hi Ducan,

        Thanks for replying. Only issue I see in this is, it actually hides the components inside it. Ideally it should blur everything in the background and the throbber should run in the foreground.

        Let me know if you have any idea how to achieve the same.

        Thank you,

      That's just HTML/CSS stuff a general search should help you with that one.
