Ext.Direct - Server-side Stacks

[aconran]

First off, thanks for the comments.

A suggestion, develop a certification extjs suite that not only tests what should work, but what shouldn't work. Get the plug-in authors to work toghether on it. Each server-side engine must pass and fail each test within the certification suite exactly the same way. .i.e. test #27 tests rules that define acceptable whitespace. Test #28 examines bad whitespace, and if your server code is too tolerant, and the test passes, then you report that the server-side failed test #28 because it is just too tolerant.

We are working on a test-suite and the 5 server-side implementations that we have been run against the rudimentary test suite and passed. We would like to provide this publicly so that other parties can run it against their server-side stacks and verify compatibility.

The test suite tests things like request batching, file upload, form posts, error handling etc. However, it will not handle things like file naming and other things which you've specified above. These are too specific to possible environments/OSs/languages and our goal here is to be platform-language agnostic.

I personally use Struts 2, so the Java servlet library won't be of help to me, but there already a plugin 'JSON plugin' (http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/json-plugin.html) for Struts 2 that supports remoting, but is developed around the Dojo rpc. I'm trying to get in touch with the project owners to add support for Ext.Direct, failing that I'm going to start a new plugin to support Ext.Direct in Struts 2. Will keep you posted

Hi omerio, yestarday i've started the developing of a s2 plugin for extdirect with annotation support ... if you want you can send me a pm maybe we can help each other to developing the plugin

Any plans/rumours of a Python (or even a Django specific) implementation?

As a partial answer to my own question, I found a stub project someone has created on Google Code - http://code.google.com/p/django-extdirect/ - but it just has the SVN directory structure and nothing more as of now.

Amusingly enough, I've just finished an implementation of Ext3 remoting for 4th Dimension. The code's not available yet, but should be in a few days.
