I have the same problem as Nr. 8 - Zladivliba: My JSON service returns the data in the correct format (I assume?!?), but the data doesn’t show in the JsonRestStore (in Firebug), nor in the dataGrid which the store is attached to. Interestingly, only dojo release 1.2.0. actually calls the url specified in the first Service function:

var Service = function(query, queryOptions) {
return dojo.xhrGet({url:”/test/”, handleAs:”json” }); }

dojo 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. do not make the server call to “/test/” for whatever reason. I can see all this happening (or not) in Firebug. Is that a good thing?

Isn’t there a working example of a JsonRestStore implementation to be found anywhere, so we can take it apart with Firebug etc. and see how it works? I have found a “JsonRestStore.js” file in the “dojox/data/tests/stores” folder of the developer distribution, but there seems to be no .html file to go with it?

Many thanks for taking the time to write this tutorial,

My problem is that the grid doesn’t show the data ; I see the data is fetch, but either I have a “no data” message written on the grid, either I have an error message, depending on the data format I fetch.

Here’s the code :

var Service = function(query, queryOptions) {
return dojo.xhrGet({url:”/test/”, handleAs:”json” }); }
Service.post = function(id, value) {
return dojo.xhrGet({url:”/test/”, content:{method:”create”, id:id, value:value}}); }

store = new dojox.data.JsonRestStore({target:”test”, service:Service});

// the grid
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){

// set the layout structure for the grid version 1.2
var layout4 = [
{ name: "Test", field: "post_id", width: '40px'},
];

// create a new grid:
var grid4 = new dojox.grid.DataGrid({
query: { post_id: ‘*’ },
store: store,
structure: layout4,
}, document.createElement(’div’));

dojo.byId(”gridContainer4″).appendChild(grid4.domNode);
grid4.startup();
});

Now, /test/ returns this data format :

[
{"post_id":"1","user_id":"1","url":"new-post","ts_created":"2008-10-01 14:16:30","status":"Live","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"new post"},
{"post_id":"2","user_id":"1","url":"new-post-draft","ts_created":"2008-10-01 14:17:38","status":"Draft","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"New post draft"},
{"post_id":"20","user_id":"1","url":"test-3","ts_created":"2008-10-01 22:28:46","status":"Draft","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"test"}
]

I tried also to return another data format that worked using IwriteFileStore that I tried, but that got me nowhere :

{”identifier”:”post_id”,”items”:
[{"post_id":"1","user_id":"1","url":"new-post","ts_created":"2008-10-01 14:16:30","status":"Live","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"new post"},
{"post_id":"2","user_id":"1","url":"new-post-draft","ts_created":"2008-10-01 14:17:38","status":"Draft","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"New post draft"}
{"post_id":"20","user_id":"1","url":"test-3","ts_created":"2008-10-01 22:28:46","status":"Draft","profile_key":"title","profile_value":"test"}]
}

Anyone an idea of what’s going wrong ?

Any suggestions?

Do we trip up here with delete being a reserved word in ie?
