XmlStore Identity API request - for compatibility with FilteringSelect

[vincentastek]

The first thing I tried to do to migrate my own javascript to DOJO is to have the FilteringSelect? work with an XmlStore?.

When I tried to do this, I had the following execution error :

this.store.fetchItemByIdentity is not a function

After that I saw that XmlStore? doesn't implement the interface used by FilteringSelect?, and I think this kind of ticket may already have been opened, but I didn't find one.

Would it be possible to specify more clearly in the documentation that FilteringSelect? isn't compatible with XmlStore? ?

Is it possible to verify in FilteringSelect? that the store attached is compatible, and let the developper know if it's not with a better error message ?

And ideally, is there a possibility to make the use of both possible in a close future ? Because I think I'm not the only one that tries to migrate to DOJO without rewriting all interfaces to json output.

Version of DOJO tested : 1.1.1 release Browser : Firefox 2

I've updated the documentation page for FilteringSelect to indicate a requirement on the Identity API - Seem this is now an enhancement request for identity in XML store. Punting to component manager for consideration

This is fixed enough for now. So, closing!
