Dojo + DataGrid + JsonRest + custom json

Question

I have following problem. My REST web service returns json like this one:

{"response":{"headers":"","items":{"item":[{"@id":"1","email":"admin@admin","firstname":"admin","lastname":"admin","login":"admin"},{"@id":"2","email":"[email protected]","firstname":"Bennett","lastname":"Tawney","login":"bennettabcd"}...

How can I force DataGrid to display items from json above? I can't change REST web service, it must return jsons in this format. Http request is ok and server returns my json, but datagrid is not filled in. Do you have any idea?

My "dojo" code is below:


        var store = new Cache(new JsonRest({
            target: settings.vars.API_URL + "/frapi/users/load",
            start: page * rows,
                count: 10,
                sort: [
                    {attribute: "id", descending: true}
                ],
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json"
                }
        }), Memory());

        grid = new DataGrid({
            store: new ObjectStore({objectStore: store}),
            queryOptions: {},
            structure:[{
                defaultCell: {
                    width: "auto"
                },
                cells: [
                    {name: "Id", field: "id", width: "50px"},
                    {name: "Login", field: "login"},
                    {name: "Email", field: "email", width: "200px"},
                    {name: "Firstname", field: "firstname"},
                    {name: "Lastname", field: "lastname"}
                ]
            }]            
        }, "grid");

        grid.startup();

Thanks in advance

OK, I found solution. Please see code below:


    var extractItemsFromResponse = function(deferred) {
        return deferred.then(function(response) {
            return response.response.items.item;
        });
    };

    aspect.after(store, "query", extractItemsFromResponse);

I hope it'll help you.
