[TYPO3-english] Extbase handler for Ajax calls in BE and FE

[François Suter]

Hi Jan,

Beware old links:

ExtDirect is better documented here:

http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/JavaScript/UsingExtjs/ExtDirect/Index.html

The advantage of ExtDirect is that you can directly map JS methods to 
PHP methods. But ExtJS is rather a pain to work with.

Also ExtDirect is supposed to work in the FE, but I never managed to 
make it work, and the knowledge seems lost to the community.

Cheers
