Ext.Direct - Server-side Stacks

[Rovak]

I would like to add a Scala implementation http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ation-in-Scala

Hello, I looked at the three solutions that don't use a framework:

• Ext.Direct PHP - Maintained by tommymaintz (Tommy Maintz)
• Ext.Direct PHP Backend - Maintained by ckr
• Easy Ext.Direct integration with PHP

All three have the same shortcoming: they are not usable as a Ext.data.proxy.Direct backend, because the do not implement even simple CRUD operations on a table. Something more complete like paging, total, sorting is completely absent.

Is this list here complete ? If so I think I have to develop my own backend

These frameworks enable you to expose your methods. They aren't an ORM and don't aim to be. You will have to write your own CRUD operations and then expose the methods via Ext.Direct.

The point why there are Ext.Direct solutions which are integrated is to provide exactly these features, like on ORM and default CRUD methods.

Hi,

I have been playing around with this Ext.Direct implementation using SA3. In SA3 only one Direct Resource can be created and if I understand correctly I point the URL in the direct resource to the ashx created in the dotnet project. And doing this works as expected in SA3.

But does this mean that in a very large project I would need to create all the methods in a single ashx?

Thanks

Graeme

I do not know about the other languages, but the list is very misleading for Java; all but one of the above implementations appears to have been abandoned by its authors. Is there a place where we can collaborate on maintaining a list of the implementations in a more up-to-date fashion?

Implementation	Initiated	Active	Versions supported	Links	Issues
extdirectspring (ASL 2.0)	2010 ralscha	Yes	Ext JS 3.x, Ext JS 4.x, Ext JS 5.x and Sencha Touch 2 applications with a Java/Spring 3 back end	Project Forum	Requires Spring backend
directjngine (LGPL)	2009 pagullo	No	Ext JS 3.x, Ext JS 4.x. Works with Ext JS 5.x, though not specifically supported.	Project Forum	Appears to have been abandoned (Oct 2013) but does not require Spring
extdirect4java (LGPL)	2009 piziwate	No		Project Forum	Abandoned 2009
extdirectj-s2-plugin (GPLv3)	2009 stefanorg	No		Project Forum	Abandoned 2009
HQExtDirect (GPLv3/LGPL)	2009 cattus	No		Project Forum	Abandoned 2009

I am guessing something like the above would be appreciated for the other languages also.

Check out https://github.com/NinjaDero/Directly, perfect module for Django/Python. Also works with ExtJS 5. I'm not the author btw!

[gkatz]

so for Java it does not seem that I have any formal support for Ext 5 at the moment? is anything in the works?
