I try to use dojox.data.JsonRestStore with my RESTful service. I read the articles by sitepen and dojox documentation but I can’t understand what they are all about.
My service gets requests like http://<host>/rest/relatedsuggestion?query=weath&results=3 and returns JSON 

{
Suggestions: [
    “weather channel”,
    “weather forecast”,
    “weather bbc”
    ]
}

It means that it can’t understand request like http://<host>/rest/relatedsuggestion/3 which are used in every tutorial. How can I make it to understand my format? And as far as I understood the responce is also unusual for this class.

In order to try JsonRestStore I wrote the following mock up page, of cource it doesn’t work and returns 4 errors “Type error: _57 is null”:

<head>
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.6/dojo/dojo.xd.js"
    djConfig="parseOnLoad: true">
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        dojo.require("dojox.data.JsonRestStore");
        dojo.require("dojox.grid.DataGrid");

        dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
            var poStore = new dojox.data.JsonRestStore({target:"http://<host>/rest/features/relatedsuggestion"});

            poStore.fetchItemByIdentity({
                identity:"3433",
                onItem:function(poItem){
                    poItem.completeOrder();
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.6/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css"
    />
</head>

<body class=" claro ">
    <div id="gridElement"></div>
</body>

    This IBM developerWorks article might be of help: Use Dojo’s JsonRestStore with your REST services.

    From your description, your service is non-standard, so you’ll need to adapt both the URLs and the response mangling to fit what JsonRestStore expects. That article explains how you can do that by implementing your own service.
