Ext Direct Java based implementation

[lee el]

I am using DirectJNgine and when I use a directMethod and if I debug the java side and wait on break point
I see than in 30 sec another request is arriving for the same method,
this can happen when server side method execution can take a long time and I don't want it to be executed more than one time.
what is the configuration param for this?

thanks,
Lee

If I recall correctly, you control this with RemotingProvider maxRetries: please, check the documentation to make sure.

Thank you for the quick answer, I found the solution:

        MyProvider.direct.REMOTING_API.maxRetries = 0; //setting the maximum no. of retries
        MyProvider.direct.REMOTING_API.timeout = 100000; //setting the timeout value
        Ext.Direct.addProvider(MyProvider.direct.REMOTING_API);

Hi,

When I deploy directjngine on linux (on Jboss AS) there is a problem in the deployment.
I see that the generated files are created lower case:

Api.js instead of API.js (API.js exists but it is empty, probably copied from the source dir).
when I change the name to API.js it is working.

In windows env there were no problems with this.
Any ideas? can I put the generated file from windows as a source in my linux env as a solution?

thanks,
Lee

Never heard of such problem before, and there is a lot of people out there using DJN in Linux -I myself included.

Are you completely sure you are using the *exact* api file name you specified in web.xml?

As a workaround, you might specify in web.xml the exact name the generated file has, and call it a day.

I am facing a lot of problems while implementing DirectJNgine in Extjs 4 MVC structure. Could any one please give me DirectJNgine example using Extjs4 MVC structure.

We have an application which uses the DirectJNgine version 1.0. Our currently application is written using Ext JS 3.2. I'm trying to see if I can convert/rewrite our application to work with Ext JS 4.2 and rewriting the server at the same time would be quite a bit of work. Do we need to upgrade DirectJNgine to the latest release to work with Ext JS 4.2? If we had to upgrade, what impact would there be on our existing Ext JS 3.2 application?

Thanks.

Yes, you need to upgrade, ExtJs 4.x broke backwards compatibility with prior versions of DJN.

If we had to upgrade, what impact would there be on our existing Ext JS 3.2 application?

Thanks.

According to my experience, your greatest upgrade issues will not be related to DJN, but rather with the new features in ExtJs 4.x and things that work in a different way -including some property name changes.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Hi
Firstly thank you for this awesome piece of software!

Now, is there a way to call a method of a DirectAction class from another DirectAction class?

@DirectAction( action="Action1")
public class ActionClass1{
    
    @DirectMethod
    public Object getStuff() {
        ....
        return foo;
    }
}

@DirectAction( action="Action2")
public class ActionClass2{
    
    @DirectMethod
    public Object getOtherStuff() {
        ....
        ActionClass1 c1 = this.getDirectAction("Action1");
        return c1.getStuff();
    }
}
