I wonder if it is possible to use Ext Direct from the client side to call a java applicacion running in a remote machine DirecJNgine, not servlet, but a normal java application running and listen at defined port.
I am wondering if there is an 'official' node.js or expressjs backend for Ext.Direct? I found a couple example implementations, but they are circa 2010 and nothing that is actively maintained. (At least not enough to make the list of server backends)
I figured with the rising popularity of nodejs over the past couple years, that there would be something in this thread.
Since there seems to be a little more interest in using NodeJS as a backend technology, I wrote up a quick example implementation and blog article using Ext Direct with NodeJS, ExpressJS and SequelizeJS.
