Class CQ.Ext.direct.RemotingProvider

Object literal defining the server side actions and methods. For example, if the Provider is configured with:

"actions":{ // each property within the 'actions' object represents a server side Class
    "TestAction":[ // array of methods within each server side Class to be
    {              // stubbed out on client
        "name":"doEcho",
        "len":1
    },{
        "name":"multiply",// name of method
        "len":2           // The number of parameters that will be used to create an
                          // array of data to send to the server side function.
                          // Ensure the server sends back a Number, not a String.
    },{
        "name":"doForm",
        "formHandler":true, // direct the client to use specialized form handling method
        "len":1
    }]
}

Note that a Store is not required, a server method can be called at any time. In the following example a client side handler is used to call the server side method "multiply" in the server-side "TestAction" Class:

TestAction.multiply(
    2, 4, // pass two arguments to server, so specify len=2
    // callback function after the server is called
    // result: the result returned by the server
    //      e: CQ.Ext.Direct.RemotingEvent object
    function(result, e){
        var t = e.getTransaction();
        var action = t.action; // server side Class called
        var method = t.method; // server side method called
        if(e.status){
            var answer = CQ.Ext.encode(result); // 8

        }else{
            var msg = e.message; // failure message
        }
    }
);

In the example above, the server side "multiply" function will be passed two arguments (2 and 4). The "multiply" method should return the value 8 which will be available as the result in the example above.

Specify which param will hold the arguments for the method. Defaults to 'data'.

Number of times to re-attempt delivery on failure of a call. Defaults to 1.
