Ember Data populate records

Need help getting Ember-Data working with Zend Rest.

At first, I'm familiar with Zend Framework, so the Rest Adapter was easy to setup. Requests by telnet show it works and response also has well-formed HTTP codes.

The setup with Ember Data was a little more complicated. I installed a VM with Ubuntu, installed Ruby 1.9.3, git cloneed the ember-data repository and generated the JS file with rake. I also installed the bundler to resolve all dependencies. Seems to work with no errors. This was the first time for me. I'm not familiar with ruby.

Unfortuately, it does not appear to be working. On my test app I see with firebug the rest request. The response looks also good. But the object is still empty.

The response: 

[{"id":"1","user":"testuser","password":"123","mail":"[email protected]","role":"GUEST","active":"1","hash":null,"last_login":null}]

response headers:

Cache-Control       no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Connection          Keep-Alive
Content-Encoding    gzip
Content-Length      121
Content-Type        application/json; charset=utf-8
Date                Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:49:38 GMT
Expires             Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Keep-Alive          timeout=15, max=99
Pragma              no-cache
Server              Apache
Vary                Accept-Encoding
X-Powered-By        PHP/5.3.13
X-UA-Compatible     IE=Edge,chrome=1

My App:

    // my script
    App = Em.Application.create();

    App.store = DS.Store.create({
      revision: 4,
      adapter: DS.RESTAdapter.create({ bulkCommit: false, namespace: 'rest' })
    });

    App.User = DS.Model.extend({
        id: DS.attr('number'),
        user: DS.attr('string'),
        password: DS.attr('string'),
        mail: DS.attr('string'),
        role: DS.attr('string'),
        active: DS.attr('number'),
        hash: DS.attr('string'),
        last_login: DS.attr('date')
    });

    App.postsController = Em.ArrayController.create({
        content: App.store.findAll(App.User)
    });


    // my html page
    <script type="text/x-handlebars">
        {{#each App.postsController}}
           <li>{{user}}</li>
        {{/each}}
    </script>

What am I doing wrong? I'm not sure my ember-data.js is working.

DS.RESTAdapter requires a root element. Such as:

{
  users: [{
    "id":"1",
    "user":"test user",
    "password":"123",
    "mail":"[email protected]",
    "role":"GUEST",
    "active":"1",
    "hash":null,
    "last_login":null
  }]
}

This is because DS.RESTAdapter supports side loading. Unfortunately, it is not configurable. The only way around this requirement is to roll your own adapter.
