/** * @class Ext.direct.Provider * @extends Ext.util.Observable *

Ext.direct.Provider is an abstract class meant to be extended.

* *

For example ExtJs implements the following subclasses:

*

Provider

+---{@link Ext.direct.JsonProvider JsonProvider} 
    |
    +---{@link Ext.direct.PollingProvider PollingProvider}   
    |
    +---{@link Ext.direct.RemotingProvider RemotingProvider}   
 * 
* @abstract */ Ext.direct.Provider = Ext.extend(Ext.util.Observable, {
/** * @cfg {String} id * The unique id of the provider (defaults to an {@link Ext#id auto-assigned id}). * You should assign an id if you need to be able to access the provider later and you do * not have an object reference available, for example: *

Ext.Direct.addProvider(
    {
        type: 'polling',
        url:  'php/poll.php',
        id:   'poll-provider'
    }
);
     
var p = {@link Ext.Direct Ext.Direct}.{@link Ext.Direct#getProvider getProvider}('poll-provider');
p.disconnect();
     *
