Is a syntax like this okay (inside an Author mapper)? object created extends MappedDateTime(this) with CreatedTimestamp[Author] Although if we say that timestamps are always a date-time (not date only or time only) this could be shortened to object created extends CreatedTimestamp(this)

There are two things I have run into that I'm hoping the more experienced members of the list can give me a hand with: 1) Is there a trait in lift that creates and manages an equivalent of the createdAt and updatedAt fields that rails provides? I'm thinking something along the lines of IdPK, but have been unable to find anything. 2) I've been following the wiki article on setting up One-to-Many relationships (http://wiki.github.com/dpp/liftweb/how-to-work-with-one- to-many-relationships) and am running into a difference in behaviour. Following the example, if I look at anAuthor.books, I get back a List of Book objects, however when I look at aBook.author, I get back a Long with the ID of the Author. I would expect aBook.author to return an Author object. I've copied and pasted the example in the wiki, to make sure that it wasn't my implementation. Other than that, so far, it's gone extremely well and I was able to get something up and running very quickly which really is a testament to the design of the framework. Thanks.
