RestProxy: Remove id in POST request URL

[G_D]

Hi everybody,

I'm having a problem posting new elements to a REST web service.
The web service can be reached under /exercise and is used to catalogue excercises.
Here the model:

Ext.regModel('Exercise', {
    proxy : {
        type : 'rest',
        url : 'http://localhost:8080/exercises',
    },
    fields : [
    {
        name : 'class',
        type : 'string'
    },{
        name : 'id',
        type : 'int'
    },{
        name : 'name',
        type : 'string'
    }, {
        name : 'description',
        type : 'string'
    }, {
        name : 'version',
        type : 'int'
    }]
});

and here the code for creating a new Object

newExercise = Ext.ModelMgr.create({
            name : 'Chin Up',
            description: 'Tuff stuff',
        }, 'Exercise');
        
newEx.save();

Since the webservice manages the asignement of ids to new objects the web service expects a post to look like this

POST /exercise/?_dc=...

instead an id is added to the POST request, which causes the web servide to reply an error message.

POST /exercise/0?_dc=...

Can I do anything about it?

Thank you in advance

Do you really need to use rest then? Maybe just ajax?

Well it's a fallback solution of course but it would be nice to use the restproxy.
So deducting from your answer I have to overwrite the URL myself by extending the RestProxy?

I guess it would be a nice improvement for a future release:

new Ext.data.RestProxy({    url:'/users',    appendIdToPost:true});
