[TYPO3-mvc] Recent change in method argument handling

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

>     lastName
>     firstName Xavier
>     street

> Meaning I'm searching all "Xavier".

> Error:   Required property 'lastName' does not exist.
> Error:   Required property 'firstName' does not exist.
> Error:   Required property 'street' does not exist.

> I tried to change my definition to

Digging into subversion logs, I found that this patch was applied:
http://forge.typo3.org/attachments/1472/3316_POST_arguments_must_be_namespaced.patch

Meaning both GET and POST parameters are now namespaced (I thought about this). Meaning I have to change my POST parameters from

lastName
firstName
street

to

tx_<extension>_<plugin>[lastName]
tx_<extension>_<plugin>[firstName]
tx_<extension>_<plugin>[street]

But I now have to find a way to get this when playing with ExtJS as I need this:

ds.load({
	params: {
		lastName: search_view.findById("lastName").getValue(),
		firstName: search_view.findById("firstName").getValue(),
		street: search_view.findById("firstName").getValue(),
	},
	callback: Members.searchCompleted
});

But I cannot replace lastName with tx_myext_search[lastname] as this later is not a valid name for an object property...
