Last I looked into it, the JSON reponse object returns the the raw related object. For instance in the "list" action the JSON array will contain all the local attributes but doesn't pay attention to your "columns" configuration or associations.
My solution was to monkey patch the actions changing the JSON format to render a template: http://github.com/spiegela/active_scaffold_extjs_sample_app/tree/master/lib/extjs_actions.rb And then create .json.erb templates: http://github.com/spiegela/active_scaffold_extjs_sample_app/tree/master/vendor/plugins/active_scaffold/frontends/extjs/views/list.json.erb http://github.com/spiegela/active_scaffold_extjs_sample_app/tree/master/vendor/plugins/active_scaffold/frontends/extjs/views/_list_record.json.erb HTH, Aaron On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 12:26 AM, glennswest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi guys > > I'm writing a ruby client application that needs to pull data > programatically from a rails/AS app, for a table. > > At startup it really needs to pull a "large" chunk of the "data", > least for id, and one field, if not the whole table.
