Strike that - pilot error! I'd broken the web.xml in that application to disable Jersey's filter, DOH :). Jersey + Lift works fine with 1.1-SNAPSHOT and 1.1-M3 of Lift. > I wonder if one day > we can kinda get Jersey to expose its own SiteMap (of sorts) into > Lift's SiteMap? It would certainly be useful to reuse Lift's Menu rendering when using a Lift template to render a JAXRS resource bean; am sure that would not be too hard to fix. We might want to support adding resource beans to the menus too -- 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.
