jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

My mistake. As a quick test I was using  the same grails method in both url and editurl. Doh.

The set of params given to the url server method are clearly different to the params given to the server method

for editurl.

Changing the server edit method to handle the following type of params:

[oper:edit, field1:test data field1, action:handleEdit, field2:test data field2,

controller:configuration, id:10]

as opposed to the params that the populate method would handle:

[action:handlePopulate, sidx:type, rows:10, _search:false, page:1,

controller:configuration, nd:1261050351812, sord:desc]

Here are the grails methods that I've got working, ported from the demos:

	def handlePopulate = {

		println "populateSoftComponents:"+params
		if (params?.rows){
			
			// get how many rows we want to have into the grid 
			// - rowNum parameter in the grid 
			def limit = params.rows?.toInteger()
			
			// Get the requested page. By default grid sets this to 1. 
			def pageNum = params.page?.toInteger()
			
			// get index row - i.e. user click to sort. At first time sort name parameter -
			// after that the index from colModel 
			def sidx = params.sidx?.toLowerCase()
			
			// sorting order - at first time sort order 
			def sord = params.sord
			
			// if we not pass at first time index use the first column for the index or what you want
			if(!sidx) sidx =1;
			
			// calculate the number of rows for the query. We need this for paging the result 
			def count = MyData.count();
			
			def total_pages = 0;
			
			// calculate the total pages for the query 
			if( count > 0 && limit > 0)  
				total_pages = (Math.ceil(count/limit)).toInteger(); 
			
			// if for some reasons the requested page is greater than the total 
			// set the requested page to total page 
			if (pageNum > total_pages) pageNum=total_pages;
			
			// calculate the starting position of the rows 
			def start = limit*pageNum - limit;
			
			// if for some reasons start position is negative set it to 0 
			// typical case is that the user type 0 for the requested page 
			if(start <0) start = 0; 
			
			// the actual query for the grid data 
			def data= MyData.list(max:limit, offset:start, sort:sidx, 
                                        order:sord); 
			
			println "made it here"
						
			// render page of logs as XML markup to the response
			// that jqGrid accepts
			render(contentType:"text/xml") {
				rows {
					page(pageNum)
					total(total_pages)
					records(count)
					for(d in data) {					    
                                               row(id:d.id){
							cell(d.field1)
                                                        cell(s.field2)
						}
					}//for
					
				}//rows
			}//render
			
		}//if params?.rows
	}


        def handleEdit = {
		//Stub : edit the specific record
		// renders text for a specified content-type/encoding
		render(text:"some xml",contentType:"text/xml",encoding:"UTF-8")
	}
