Hi, I'm considering building a web application with my software engineering group in Lift. However when I started with lift I was surprised that I received a whole log in / sign up website by just using the MegaProtoUser. This was at first sight fun, but I started wondering (and I'm pretty sure my professor will say the same): "Do I really know what I just did?".
So I decided to try and rebuild the Log in / Sign up thing from scratch by using my own plain objects. Ive been working on that for 2 days and It's been soooo frustrating. I've been reading the lift book... Tutorials.. but all of them start with the MegaProtoUser. In 1.5 days time I only managed to make an index (signup) page with a username/password field and a button which then redirects to a new page. Let me tell you in advance, I am totally new to Web developing. Problems I have right now: - I have no idea if my code actually created a User in my database and I have no idea how to check it... - I have no idea how to "log in" a user. I saw code in the sample programs that compare the current logged in user with other users by using a select statement. However retrieving the current user is based upon the MegaProtoUser. I wonder how this is done behind my back since I have no idea how to keep a variable of a 'logged in user' which stays active across all pages.. Because of these problems I thought it might be useful to see the source code of the classes.. Is it possible to see the scala source code of these classes?
