Ext JS 3.0 - Remoting for Everyone http://www.sencha.com/blog/ext-js-30-remoting-for-everyone As developers, we spend countless hours researching best practices to build engaging software. Often we find ourselves implementing the same repetitive functionality to wire our frontend to our backend. We’ve become accustomed to partaking in complicated design patterns to help separate logic from presentation, forcing the browser to play the role of a dumb terminal. While the Web 2.0 movement has unshackled the web browser from that awful fate, accessing our server side logic remains mostly unchanged. Ext.Direct aims to solve this issue in Ext JS applications by providing a single communication point with the server-side. en-us evan@sencha.com Copyright 2009 2009-05-13T05:19:39+00:00 Comment by Arjay I have been so beiwelderd in the past but now it all makes sense!

Batch updates and a single place for the server-access code are big pluses. You’re free to stick to the previous approaches on the client, as well as layering your server-side code - with facades, for example -, if you are concerned about being tied to a client platform.

There are many excellent server-side frameworks that merge the client and server with the stubbed approach. But it always felt like you were tying your application down. With Ext.Direct you gain the benefits without the specific language binding. Sure, your server implementation will be language specific. But everything about the client generated code is not. I look forward to this exciting new approach. What I find most attractive about Ext.Direct is the language neutral approach.

As pablo says, yes i understand this as getting tied to Ext. Making server code to work only with one frontend(ExtJS), doesn’t look too fancy for me. If i want to make another frontend, lets say in Delphi for windows to get the same data its used in the server i would have to make other normal ajax functions to get that working in the other frontend. But if you are going to use only ExtJS for the front end i can see that its good to use this. I will have to try it anyways, i am expecting to use it in a new application i will made sometime in the future (when client decides to make it). Meanwhile its an interesting concept and this article explains some of the big confusion on using it. Thanks Evan Excelent article.

In both cases you’ll have to duplicate your logic on the client and server side. You are saying that with Ext.direct I’m not bound to s single server side solution but the truth is that instead of using the usual Ajax and polling I’ll get tied to Ext.
