Custom association classes - [PATCH]

[rdunklau]

Hello.

Sorry if this not the right forum for this.

I needed to implement a custom association class and ran into several problems:

- the Model class uses some unorthodox loading method
- the Association "create" classmethod does not accept any type other than the three builtins

Why this arbitrary limitation ? I'm sure there is a valid reason for putting these restrictions in place that I overlooked.

Anyway, please find a patch attached that can serve as a basis for allowing custom association classes.

The changes are the following:

- add a "cardinality" class attribute on all associations. This is then used in Model.getAssociatedData instead of the type itself.
- add a default case to the static create classmethod, defaulting to Ext.create(association.type)

What does the "EXTJSIV-6343" identifier refer to ?
Can I use it (in a bug tracker perhaps) to track the state of the issue ?

Thank you.
