Updatng Grid with a new HttpProxy

[longer]

All,

I've been using the com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.grid.Grid object in a similar fashion to the example given in the http://www.extjs.com/explorer/#xmlgrid and everything works great during the initial data load.

Is there a standard way to update the HttpProxy and have a new dataset display in the table? All my efforts to point the http proxy to a different XML file show a stubborn Grid that just displays the initial XML.

My work around is to re-create a Grid with a new XMLReader, BaseListLoader, ListStore etc. which *has* to be the wrong approach but I can't get BaseListLoader.load() to recognize any changes to the http proxy.

Maybe I am going about this all wrong so does anybody know how to update a grid with a new and different http request? Example somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help!

What about store.removeAll() and the loader.load();

What about store.removeAll() and the loader.load();

I tried calling removeAll on the store, no luck, removeAll doesn't seem to remove the proxy.

This looks like something you'll have to implement yourself (Darrell, correct me if I'm wrong), although I doubt it would be too hard.

Extend the HttpProxy class, and then add a method to mutate the 'initUrl' member variable.

Let us know what you decide to go with...

I figured I would have to do something like this, it's unfortunate that this isn't more directly supported. I will post back what I end up doing and if it works of course.

Thanks!

Changing the member variable in the HttpProxy class has no effect, I am going to read more of the source to figure out what the heck is going on. ~o)

Anymore tips would be appreciated! Subclass code below

public class DemographicHttpProxy<C, D> extends HttpProxy<C, D>{

/**
* Creates a new HttpProxy.
*
* @param builder the request builder
*/
public DemographicHttpProxy (RequestBuilder builder) {
super(builder);

}

public void setHttpProxyURL(String url){
super.initUrl = url;
}

public String getHttpProxyURL(){
return super.initUrl;
}
}

I used reconfigure to display updated data:

grid.reconfigure(store, cm);

For me I had manually update the view, the reconfigure method doesn't call it for some reason. Works fine now.

loader.load();
grid.reconfigure(demographicStore,demographicCM);
grid.getView().refresh(false);
