Graphics Layer from MySQL Data

[OttoBorden]

Hello,

So I have a bunch of data in a MySQL DB that I'm accessing via JSONRPC. I have a AMD module that pulls the data in and creates a custom Graphic object with it. Then I store all the Graphic objects in an array that I return to the calling script. The calling script then adds these graphic objects to a GraphicsLayer that had already been added to the map. I'll attach both files but I wanted to know first of all if this flow makes sense.

All the tutorials and samples I've found use FeatureSet.feature or something similar to create the Graphic object. I'm really out of ideas and I'm not sure how to do this. ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.



EDIT: Small mistake in cbibsGfxModule.js, I missed a comma. Should be:

                                    var stations = ["S", "SN", "AN", "UP", "GR", "PL", "SR", "J", "N", "FL"];
