Virtualization of Remote Data - Server Side Service Requirements

[John]

I have a requirement to put a large amount of data into a Kendo UI grid and want to have the best performance possible.  I reviewed the Virtualization of Remote Data example at http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/virtualization-remote-data .  What are the specs/requirements for the server-side service that will provide the data to be consumed by the grid?  I only see sample client-side code(JavaScript).  Please advise, thanks.

Hello John,

Basically the service should be able to perform paging based on skip and take parameters that the DataSource sends.

You may check the examples in this GitHub repository. Server side implementation performs paging.

Hi.  You mention skip and take parameters that the DataSource sends to the back-end REST service.  Where can I find this documented?  I don't see it in the API Reference for the DataSource.  Also, I am using JEE REST services on the back-end written in Java.  The ASP examples in the link you sent me weren't real helpful to me.

Hello John,

Parameters are described in serverPaging API reference:

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#configuration-serverPaging

I am afraid that we do not have examples which demonstrates binding to the backend technology that you use.
