DHTMLX + Rails 2.1

I'm looking for samples of DHTMLX code that includes:

1) rails 2.1 application
2) grid display of data
3) handling large amounts of data through ajax loading or smart rendering
4) support for sorting and filtering on the grid

I'm interested in knowing if DHTMLX can fit into a Rails application, and if so what special handling or limitations might exist.

1) DHTMLX is a plain JavaScript library and can work with any server side language

2) 3) Please see example here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/loading_big_datasets/50000.html

If you need a sample where data loaded in grid directly from Rails application - please contact us directly at support@dhtmlx.com ( there is no such online demo but it can be sent by request ) 
Both ruby itself and Rails framework has pretty neat XML generation helpers, so feeding grid ( or any other dhtmlx control ) with data is not a problem.
