Oh yeah, you are right Ross! Doh... in that case, might have to do some refactoring on that module to give it a more functional style. Cheers, Tim On Feb 23, 7:15 pm, Ross Mellgren dri...@gmail.com wrote: There's no record code in there -- it uses mapper in fact. I think this is just for

Any chance that the LDAP functionality will be independent of MetaMegaProtoUser and MegaProtoUser? Or maybe some sort of guidance (how-to?) on how to use it without these classes. We've (Apache ESME) have been waiting for a while for LDAP to be supported in Lift but we don't use MegaProtoUser.

Dick, that is exactly what I want also... I was expected the dude who added it to lift to tidy it up and make it more abstract before adding it to the project. I would suggest have a base LDAP module (perhaps record based) and remove the mapper stuff. Cheers, Tim On Feb 23, 8:01 pm, Dick Hirsch

Seems like the current lift-ldap ought to be gutted and turned into a pure LDAP wrapper for scala. Then we can add a record abstraction and any other abstractions people want. Cheers, Tim On Feb 23, 8:07 pm, Ross Mellgren dri...@gmail.com wrote: It might turn out that we'll need an actual LDAP

Perhaps eventually (or if someone right now has a strong use), but maybe in the short term it should be just mildly split up a bit so that it can be used separate of MetaMegaTron? I'm sure there are plenty of people who just need authentication and have no intent of using more sophisticated

Ross my good man, did you just volunteer? :-D +1 on the MegaUberRobotTronFromOuterSpace. There is also a fair amount of Java-ish code in there; it would be nice if that went away sometime too :-) Cheers, Tim On 23 Feb 2010, at 20:32, Ross Mellgren wrote: Perhaps eventually (or if someone

Hah maybe if I have some extra moments I'll look at it. I'm preparing for a short trip this weekend so my spare time this week is short. If you didn't have a book to write I'd make you do it! ;-) -Ross On Feb 23, 2010, at 3:40 PM, Timothy Perrett wrote: Ross my good man, did you just

haha yeah, well I was originally planning on writing a record backend in my book for LDAP, but thought we already had one... so maybe i'll do it in a month or two ;-) Cheers, Tim On 23 Feb 2010, at 20:46, Ross Mellgren wrote: Hah maybe if I have some extra moments I'll look at it. I'm
