[TYPO3-mvc] Warning: Unknown class passed as parameter and cache problem

Hi,

After a break, I changed my domain object to be a simple array (no more object class in fact) but

public function searchAction(array $criteria).

> My POST parameters seem valid though:
> 
> tx_mysearch_person[__referer][actionName]    search
> tx_mysearch_person[__referer][controllerName]    Person
> tx_mysearch_person[__referer][extensionName]    MySearch
> tx_mysearch_person[criteria][firstName]   
> tx_mysearch_person[criteria][lastName]    perseguers

This works great. once __referer items are there. No more warnings as said in my first message but cache problem persists.

Finally I changed how the plugin was rendered. As for other mvc_extjs samples, I use a special pagetype (with a time()-based typeNum):

// From mvc_extjs
ajax = PAGE
ajax {
		# You don't need to change this typeNum
	typeNum = 1249058000
	config {
		disableAllHeaderCode = 1
		additionalHeaders = Content-type:application/json
		xhtml_cleaning = 0
		admPanel = 0
	}
}

In my extension:
mysearch_persons_search < ajax
mysearch_persons_search {
	typeNum = 1249241029
	10 < tt_content.list.20.mysearch_persons
}

Adding

ajax.config.no_cache = 1

solves the cache problem. What is odd is that the tt_content.list.20.mysearch_persons is a USER (thus cached) and becomes a USER_INT with the TS generated by Extbase:

[globalString = GP:tx_mysearch_persons|controller = Person] && [globalString = GP:tx_mysearch_Persons|action = /search/]

As the URL is

http://localhost/search.html?type=1249241029&tx_mysearch_persons%5Baction%5D=search&tx_mysearch_persons%5Bcontroller%5D=Person&tx_mysearch_persons%5Bformat%5D=xml&cHash=dbae8f35648a7c697d565b654594c29f

The condition should become active but it seems it does not work...

After all, and without really understanding why I had this problem (if someone could explain it would be great), I found out that forcing

mysearch_persons_search.10 = USER_INT

does the job without having to add an ugly "no_cache = 1" in ajax.config.
