Url for json in an Grails / Extjs project

If you're using Extjs and grails togther you probably want to keep you JSON under the js directory. However in your application.js if you define regModel with a proxy and a url like;

url : 'storetestusers.json'

Your application.js won't find it in the js directory as its resolving the url relative to the gsp page, so will look in the same directory as the page.

But if you change the url to;

url : '../js/storetestusers.json'

in a default grails project this will find the json file. nice and easy!

Here's how I got the examples that come with GXT 3 working, in six simple steps! 1. Setup a GXT 3 app Setup your Gxt app as shown in the previous post on this blog; Quick Setup for GXT 3 . 2. Add additional jars In addition to the gxt jar there are several other jars that need to be added to the build path; gxt-3.0.0.jar gxt-chart-3.0.0.jar gxt-legacy-3.0.0.jar uibinder-bridge-2.4.0.jar gwt-dev.jar gin-1.5-post-gwt-2.2.jar guice-3.0.jar json-org.jar javax.persistence.jar javax.inject.jar That will fix all of the errors except for 2 in the file Folder.java, (I'm not sure how to fix that one yet, answers on a post card please.
