[TYPO3-mvc] Best practise for extdirect and extbase

[Dennis Ahrens]

Hi Kevin,

do you write a plugin or a module? I've not tested the FE stuff since 
the backport of the FLOW3 package - would be greate to get some feedback 
related to FE.

I've worked around this problem by using

if ($this->request->getFormat() === 'extdirect') {
	// do DirectView related stuff
}

inside the action that should be usable for other formats, too.

Don't get the point here - you like to use format.image ViewHelper to 
hand over the result inside a Ext.Direct response?
