I am using Ext.js 4 with MVC. I have a window which pops up, and asks the user for some criteria. That window calls a servlet, which returns the data as JSON, and should then populate a grid. I can see thru Firefly that the JSON object IS be returned. However, the grid is not being populated. The reason is that a subsequent call to the servlet is beign made. This is because I have the URL specified in two places. I know this is wrong, but if either one is omitted I get error messages.
This is app/controller/PSLocators.js
Ext.define('MyApp.controller.PSLocators', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
stores: [ 'PSLocators' ],
models: [ 'PSLocator' ],
views : [ 'pslocator.List' ]
});
This is app/model/PSLocator.js
Ext.define('MyApp.model.PSLocator',
{
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields:
[
'id',
'name',
'address',
'city',
'state',
'zip',
]
});
This is app/store/PSLocators.js
. This has the first of the urls. This is the one that returns no data. I don't think I should have the proxy{} here, but if I delete the proxy { } I get the error message
uncaught exception: [Exception... "'You are using a ServerProxy but have not supplied it with a url.' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"

Can someone please help, or point me to a working example (reminder: I am attempting the use the MVC architecture.)
You should store the proxy configuration in the model rather than the store in ExtJS4. Also It looks like you are just wanting to limit the search on your stores to a particular store number. You shouldn't need to submit a POST request via the form to do this. You should add a filter to your store so the server can return the correct data.
DISCLAIMER: I've not tested this code out, but it should be enough to get you going.

I think thats about as best I can get it from reading over the code. It should give you an idea of how you can use the MVC technique to your advantage and hopefully get you on the right path.
No there is a config option in there set to send all filtering requests to the server. In the store setup you configure the following.
remoteFilter: true
So that the filters are sent as query variables to your webservice. Like so
/PSLocator?filterName=filterValue
From your original post it looked like you were sending a POST to filter the store location on your form submit. So unless your server side application keeps state? this won't have an effect on your store data. You want to do is update the store filter when the correct storeID and reload the store - Jamie Sutherland 2012-04-09 21:19
