# Breaking: #78468 - Remove ExtDirect from EXT:workspaces

See [forge#78468](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/78468)

## Description

To remove ExtJS the ExtDirect component has been removed too.
A new class `\TYPO3\CMS\Workspaces\Controller\AjaxDispatcher` has been added to implement the ExtDirect router functionality.
This class is callable by a new AJAX route with the name `workspace_dispatch`.

## Impact

The following classes have been moved:

-   `EXT:workspaces/Classes/ExtDirect/AbstractHandler.php`
    => `EXT:workspaces/Classes/Controller/Remote/AbstractHandler.php`
-   `EXT:workspaces/Classes/ExtDirect/ActionHandler.php`
    => `EXT:workspaces/Classes/Controller/Remote/ActionHandler.php`
-   `EXT:workspaces/Classes/ExtDirect/MassActionHandler.php`
    => `EXT:workspaces/Classes/Controller/Remote/MassActionHandler.php`
-   `EXT:workspaces/Classes/ExtDirect/ExtDirectServer.php`
    => `EXT:workspaces/Classes/Controller/Remote/RemoteServer.php`

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation using the previously classes.

## Migration

Use the new classes as mentioned above.
