Handle JSON response before it loads in the store

[mirton]

Hi all,

Is there a way to check what the response was from the server when the load() function is called for a store's Loader object?

The problem I'm having is that I have a store that is loaded using JSON data from the response, but if something goes wrong on the server side and I get a fata error message in the response, it isn't handled correctly, the store just hangs with the "Loading.." mask.

I tried listening for a LoadException but that isn't fireing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mirton.

If the reader throws an exception, normally the Loader should catch it and fire the LoadException event. On which object did you try to listen to that event? Do you have a testcase implementing EntryPoint?

Have you tried to step through the code?

Hi Sven,

Sorry, I missed that I was reconfiguring the grid so I think that is why the listener was getting lost.

I managed to get the loadException to fire:


databaseGrid.getStore().getLoader().addLoadListener(new LoadListener(){
public void loaderLoadException(LoadEvent le) {
MessageBox.alert("ERROR", le.exception.getMessage(), null);
}
});

However, I still don't know how to get the responseText in the above listener to display the appropriate message to the user.
Where is the responseText located anyway?

I guess you use a JSONReader too ?
post some code

Yup, I use a JsonLoadResultReader.

This is where I create the store:


RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, url);

builder.setTimeoutMillis(4000);
HttpProxy<String> proxy = new HttpProxy<String>(builder);

JsonLoadResultReader<ListLoadResult<ModelData>> reader = new JsonLoadResultReader<ListLoadResult<ModelData>>(type);

loader = new BaseListLoader<ListLoadResult<ModelData>>(proxy, reader);

ListStore<ModelData> store = new ListStore<ModelData>(loader);

return store;


This is inside a method that I use to create the store.
The store object is returned as a parameter when creating the databaseGrid object, on which I put the loadListener (as seen in the previous post).

I had to handle a JSON response.getText() too. In order to do this, I extended JSONReader's read() method and handled there the response text.

I am not sure I understood your issue though.

Yeah , I think you're right that overriding the read() method is the only way.

Thanks.
