There is no current specification on Ext.Direct, unfortunately. I just took Direct examples from the latest Ext JS build and made sure my stack supports all features found in example code.
I looked through some of the projects listed in page 1 and a lot of the ones I looked through seem to have no activity off late. How many of those are being updated for Ext 4.1.
This includes much of PHP, Ruby and Java stacks. In Java I found only "ralscha's" extdirect-spring upto date. So is Sencha serious about the whole Ext Direct scheme of things?
If I buy a license, will I get an officially supported Ext Direct stack?

DJN 2.0 alpha 1 is *extremely* robust and lots of people is using it daily (I do), and it passes 117 automated test now.
Frankly, it is not published as 2.0 final because I feel bad about the documentation not being up to date, due mostly to Sencha changes to ExtJs.
By this I mean little things such as store's baseParams not working anymore (use store.proxy.extraParams for that), form submit as I did it for my ExtJs 3.x tests not working anymore, or the type of error reported by form submits when there is an unexpected app error being changed from 4.0.x to 4.1 (failureType was "exception", in 4.1 it is "connect").
Doc is 47 pages long and includes several examples, so I need to spend a pair of deadly boring mornings to reread it all and adapt all code for ExtJs 4.1, if needed.
I know, I'm way toooo picky
Rest assured that the public version of DJN 2.0 works as well with ExtJs 4.1 as DJN 1.x worked with ExtJs 3.x.
