/** * @author Ed Spencer * @class Ext.data.Proxy * @extends Ext.util.Observable * *

Proxies are used by {@link Ext.data.Store Stores} to handle the loading and saving of {@link Ext.data.Model Model} data. * Usually developers will not need to create or interact with proxies directly.

*

Types of Proxy

* *

There are two main types of Proxy - {@link Ext.data.ClientProxy Client} and {@link Ext.data.ServerProxy Server}. The Client proxies * save their data locally and include the following subclasses:

* * * *

The Server proxies save their data by sending requests to some remote server. These proxies include:

* * * *

Proxies operate on the principle that all operations performed are either Create, Read, Update or Delete. These four operations * are mapped to the methods {@link #create}, {@link #read}, {@link #update} and {@link #destroy} respectively. Each Proxy subclass * implements these functions.

* *

The CRUD methods each expect an {@link Ext.data.Operation operation} object as the sole argument. The Operation encapsulates * information about the action the Store wishes to perform, the {@link Ext.data.Model model} instances that are to be modified, etc. * See the {@link Ext.data.Operation Operation} documentation for more details. Each CRUD method also accepts a callback function to be * called asynchronously on completion.

* *

Proxies also support batching of Operations via a {@link Ext.data.Batch batch} object, invoked by the {@link #batch} method.
