example: ext direct calling a python method

[dschere]

I attached a complete example of Ext direct calling a python method.

Prerequisites:

You need to install the http://code.google.com/p/extdirect/ module in python.

Overview:

extDirectRouter.py is a python script that is configured as an executable script in apache.It handles HTTP POST and GET methods.

• If given an HTTP Get request it outputs a formatted javascript string that defines a global variable that contains the specification of the server.

• If it is called with an HTTP POST it executes a remote procedure call.

vidApplApi.py is the server side API, it contains two main methods:

• requestHandler, which is called in response to an HTTP post that decodes the json object, executes a method and returns the result to EXT as a json object.

• requestApiSpec, which returns the specification for the server in response to an HTTP GET.
