Though it did start here first! :) http://www.nabble.com/using-Lift-templates-stand-alone-inside-other-frameworks-like-JAXRS--td23177478.html#a23558689 BTW it was only when there was lukewarm response on the fork I created at github that I popped it into Jersey instead. Though David did most of the heavy lifting hacking Lift to make templates reusable outside of Lift's normal servlet+controller layer From my perspective, I see how having a standard RS service framework > could be helpful, but it appears to bypass important lift concepts > like SiteMap etc so I'm just wondering what the benefit of using such > a layer would be over using DispatchPF etc to create REST services or > serving xml fragments for templates? (I have no idea about Jersey > apart from the basic docs ive read, so if im missing a major benefit > id love to hear discuss) As David said there are strengths and weaknesses to both approaches. I see them as alternatives really; use one approach or the other or mix them if required. My main motivation of the original Jersey <-> Lift integration was to enable JAXRS folks to reuse Scala/Lift code for templating instead of the joy that is JSP/JSP EL/JSTL/custom tag files/(SiteMesh|Tiles). I'd always assumed the SiteMap and JAXRS were kinda separate parts of the URI space. Though having said that I've just noticed that using Jersey + Lift trunk together in an application is currently broken unless there is some kind of SiteMap defined :). I wonder if one day we can kinda get Jersey to expose its own SiteMap (of sorts) into Lift's SiteMap? -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://fusesource.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
