Direct API In Designer

[thermiteplasma]

Just wondering if anyone has got Ext Direct to work in the designer. When i put in api url in the "Ext Direct Api" field in the preferences, it just says Specification failed to load ???

Is this url dependant at all on the urlPrefix field??

It is not dependent on the urlPrefix. You can put a full path in the Ext Direct API.

The Ext.Direct stack which you are running must support the format=json parameter to return JSON rather than standard JS.

Sorry, but i dont really understand.

I just looked through the docs looking how to set the "format=json" parameter.
No good.

This is the output from my api call.

Agt.rpc.REMOTING_API = {"url":"\/direct\/router","type":"remoting","actions":{"Setup":[{"name":"getAllAgents","len":4},{"name":"saveAgent","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadAgent","len":1},{"name":"deleteAgent","len":1},{"name":"getAllCustomers","len":4},{"name":"saveCustomer","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadCustomer","len":1},{"name":"deleteCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":4},{"name":"saveSalesPerson","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"deleteSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"getAllAreasPaged","len":4},{"name":"getAllAreas","len":0},{"name":"saveArea","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadArea","len":1},{"name":"deleteArea","len":1}],"Games":[{"name":"GetGamesCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariantsCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGame","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariants","len":3},{"name":"getGames","len":4},{"name":"updateGame","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadGame","len":1},{"name":"getGameBcvs","len":1},{"name":"createBcv","len":1},{"name":"updateBcv","len":1},{"name":"deleteBcv","len":1},{"name":"getJackpotProfiles","len":1},{"name":"updateJackpotProfile","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"deleteJackpotProfile","len":1},{"name":"getVariations","len":1},{"name":"createVariation","len":1},{"name":"updateVariation","len":1},{"name":"deleteVariation","len":1}],"CallReports":[{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":0},{"name":"getSummary","len":7},{"name":"getByCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllByRep","len":1},{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1}],"General":[{"name":"GetUserDetails","len":0},{"name":"getCustomersCombo","len":3},{"name":"getSalesRepsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getModelsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getGameTypesCombo","len":0},{"name":"getPartsCombo","len":0}],"Quotes":[{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1},{"name":"save","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"submitQuote","len":1},{"name":"approveQuote","len":1},{"name":"rejectQuote","len":2},{"name":"loadQuote","len":1}]},"namespace":"Agt.rpc"};

The latest Ext.Direct specs support a url parameter of format=json.

This would cause the direct api generator to valid JSON.

"Agt.rpc.REMOTING_API" would be put in the JSON packet as a key of descriptor.

For example

{"descriptor":"Agt.rpc.REMOTING_API","url":"\/direct\/router","type":"remoting","actions":{"Setup":[{"name":"getAllAgents","len":4},{"name":"saveAgent","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadAgent","len":1},{"name":"deleteAgent","len":1},{"name":"getAllCustomers","len":4},{"name":"saveCustomer","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadCustomer","len":1},{"name":"deleteCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":4},{"name":"saveSalesPerson","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"deleteSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"getAllAreasPaged","len":4},{"name":"getAllAreas","len":0},{"name":"saveArea","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadArea","len":1},{"name":"deleteArea","len":1}],"Games":[{"name":"GetGamesCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariantsCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGame","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariants","len":3},{"name":"getGames","len":4},{"name":"updateGame","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadGame","len":1},{"name":"getGameBcvs","len":1},{"name":"createBcv","len":1},{"name":"updateBcv","len":1},{"name":"deleteBcv","len":1},{"name":"getJackpotProfiles","len":1},{"name":"updateJackpotProfile","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"deleteJackpotProfile","len":1},{"name":"getVariations","len":1},{"name":"createVariation","len":1},{"name":"updateVariation","len":1},{"name":"deleteVariation","len":1}],"CallReports":[{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":0},{"name":"getSummary","len":7},{"name":"getByCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllByRep","len":1},{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1}],"General":[{"name":"GetUserDetails","len":0},{"name":"getCustomersCombo","len":3},{"name":"getSalesRepsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getModelsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getGameTypesCombo","len":0},{"name":"getPartsCombo","len":0}],"Quotes":[{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1},{"name":"save","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"submitQuote","len":1},{"name":"approveQuote","len":1},{"name":"rejectQuote","len":2},{"name":"loadQuote","len":1}]},"namespace":"Agt.rpc"}

This allows the designer to introspect the Direct router for the API with standard JSON.

Thanks. I should be right now.

Cheers

[thermiteplasma]

Still no good.

My server is now returning valid json like so.

{"url":"\/direct\/router","type":"remoting","actions":{"Setup":[{"name":"getAllAgents","len":4},{"name":"saveAgent","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadAgent","len":1},{"name":"deleteAgent","len":1},{"name":"getAllCustomers","len":4},{"name":"saveCustomer","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadCustomer","len":1},{"name":"deleteCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":4},{"name":"saveSalesPerson","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"deleteSalesPerson","len":1},{"name":"getAllAreasPaged","len":4},{"name":"getAllAreas","len":0},{"name":"saveArea","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadArea","len":1},{"name":"deleteArea","len":1}],"Games":[{"name":"GetGamesCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariantsCombo","len":1},{"name":"GetGame","len":1},{"name":"GetGameVariants","len":3},{"name":"getGames","len":4},{"name":"updateGame","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"loadGame","len":1},{"name":"getGameBcvs","len":1},{"name":"createBcv","len":1},{"name":"updateBcv","len":1},{"name":"deleteBcv","len":1},{"name":"getJackpotProfiles","len":1},{"name":"updateJackpotProfile","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"deleteJackpotProfile","len":1},{"name":"getVariations","len":1},{"name":"createVariation","len":1},{"name":"updateVariation","len":1},{"name":"deleteVariation","len":1}],"CallReports":[{"name":"getAllSalesPersons","len":0},{"name":"getSummary","len":7},{"name":"getByCustomer","len":1},{"name":"getAllByRep","len":1},{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1}],"General":[{"name":"GetUserDetails","len":0},{"name":"getCustomersCombo","len":3},{"name":"getSalesRepsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getModelsCombo","len":0},{"name":"getGameTypesCombo","len":0},{"name":"getPartsCombo","len":0}],"Quotes":[{"name":"getAll","len":5},{"name":"getTreeNodes","len":1},{"name":"save","len":0,"formHandler":true},{"name":"submitQuote","len":1},{"name":"approveQuote","len":1},{"name":"rejectQuote","len":2},{"name":"loadQuote","len":1}]},"namespace":"Agt.rpc","descriptor":"Agt.rpc.REMOTING_API"} 

Still says Ext.Direct Remoting Specification Failed To Load

[aconran]

Are you putting the full path? Is the api reachable via a browser?

[thermiteplasma]

Sure am. The json above was from the browser.

I am putting in the fullpath

i.e. http://ainsworthsales.local/direct/api

[dlouwers]

I didn't see the descriptor parameter in your json response:

{ "descriptor":"Agt.rpc.REMOTING_API", ... }

Best,

Dirk Louwers

[thermiteplasma]

its there, at the end of the json.

Its was working in 1.0.0.3, but now its not again in 1.0.0.4
