[TYPO3-mvc] Putting together a object for updateAction, from ExtJs/json

[Dmitri Pisarev]

Hi!
I'm a complete novice at extbase, but the way you do it looks really 
strange to me.
Why not do this like this:
	/**
	 * Updates client.
	 *
	 * @param Tx_Alex_Domain_Model_Client $client
	 * @return string The rendered view
	 * @dontverifyrequesthash
	 */
	public function updateAction($client) {
		$this->clientRepository->update($client);
		$this->flashMessages->add('Your client was updated.');
		echo '{success:true}';
	}	
And from extjs submit something like this:
tx_alex_pi1[__referer][ac...	index
tx_alex_pi1[__referer][co...	Client
tx_alex_pi1[__referer][ex...	Alex
tx_alex_pi1[client][__identity]	1
tx_alex_pi1[client][addre...	Leninsky
tx_alex_pi1[client][telep...	3395701
tx_alex_pi1[client][title...	Nord-Way
Sorry, firebug has croped the names, but you get the idea.

Regards,
Dmitri.
