I'm just the Tom Sawyer who's convincing the smart folks to white-wash my fence/build Lift. ;-) The testing Lift apps is a good, real use case for both ScalaTest and Specs. I hope to meet with Eric Torreborre Monday. I'll talk with him about what's needed for Lift, as I think he's more familiar with its testing needs. I have definitely wanted to do some work with Lift so I can become more familiar with it as a web app framework, but just haven't had time yet. I'm gradually popping things off my stack of tasks, so I'll get there eventually. Cool. I think there's a need for a better way to test web apps in general and to describe the state models so that they can be tested in a sane way. I just don't have a clue as to how to do it. But... I think it ties in with the JavaScript enhancements I want to see in 1.1. Perhaps there's some sort of state/logic combinator thingy that can emit client-side JS, sync data, and be very testable.

Guys,
I've been contemplating doing this for a while and am now finding
myself with a bunch of free time tomorrow and a need to write some
code.
So, I want to make a widget that shortens URL's in an extendable
way... Im thinking of having something like:
trait URLReductionProvider { ... }
object TinyURL extends URLReductionProvider
object IsGd extends URLReductionProvider
object BitLy extends URLReductionProvider
You get the general idea...
So, im thinking of implementing the actual URL fetching stuff as a
partial function so that users could do:
def reductionResult = {
case Full(result) = // result is the URL, insert into database etc
case _ = // something went wrong
}
My question is however, if i make this actor based, could someone
implement it so rather than writing there URL to database in a
separate thread to the main one, would it be possible for them to say,
use a JsCmd and return that to update the browser? Im guessing not
unless it was a CometActor right.
This then got me thinking, do you guys thing this is worth doing actor
based, or is it just ok to make a blocking call to the provider?
(tinyurl or is.gd etc)

We're still seeking proposals — and just extended the deadline to April 10th — so submit yours before time runs out. Some examples of our proposals so far: Brian Aker on Drizzle, a reboot of MySQL designed “for the cloud”; Linux Kernel hacker Greg K-H about how Linux manages development; Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, about what’s next in collaboration; Amber Case, an anthropologist living in both the physical and virtual worlds, about Cyborg Citizenship. (You can view all current proposals at http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/) In addition to regular conference sessions, we will hold an unconference day for free-form sessions, and host a 24-hour dedicated “hacker lounge” at the top of the Portland Hilton. In addition to hosting the hacker lounge, the Hilton has offered Open Source Bridge attendees steeply discounted room rates, starting at $139/night. The city of Portland is a great place to visit. It has a thriving technical community, a love of all things open source and offers many attractions for visiting geeks, including Powell’s technical books, dozens of local brewpubs, and large greenspaces like Forest Park—all accessible by mass transit. Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the conference, see our session proposals, and register to attend. Thanks!

One more. I've found inconsistent statements in Liftweb book (pdf

still exists but anyway:
paragraph 3.4 states:
3. Check to see if the request should be handled by a View. This is
covered in section
3.6
4. If the request is not handled by a View, find a template that
matches and use it. We’ll
cover templates in section 3.5
but paragraph 3.6 states:
In either case, View lookup and dispatch is done after template
resolution, so templates take priority.

[Lift] Re: Forms validation formatter
On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 7:06 AM, Clemens Oertel clemens.oer...@gmail.comwrote: Hello, Sorry for the delay in my response, but I only get to play with lift on the weekends, and I wanted to look into your suggestions in more detail. I ported the toForm code from Record to Mapper (and by port, I mean mostly cut'n'paste). While doing so, I noticed 2 things: - Why not provide the same template mechanism used for forms for HTML output? This way I can reuse the same template for both - given that my records have at least dozens, if not even hundreds, of fields, that'd be a great help. - The templates require the use of lift:field and similar tags. I thought I'd be really smart, and created a HTML file A with lift-tags (lift:SomeClass.add.../lift:SomeClass.add) to run my snippet, and used the lift:field tags as children to lift:SomeClass.add. This way, I can create my templates externally, and use the normal lift dispatch-from-view mechanism. And, to save me some more work, the actual form template is in a separate, reusable, HTML file B, to be embedded into A. Embedding, of course, requires eager evaluation. Fine. No. With eager evaluation, lift of course complains that there is no class field, as referenced by lift:field. Now me's wondering whether a separate namespace would be more appropriate? (I did switch to a different namespace, liftf, out of necessity, but I figure that other people might have similar issues) As to the original discussion: I still strongly believe that toForm and to/as(X)Html should not be in Mapper/Record. Different story for JSON/XML/SQL - those seem to me to be rather functionality complete, no problem. But form and html creation seem to be something that most users will want to adapt to their application's needs eventually - state dependent css classes, javascript validation, AJAX form updates... In the examples that I've seen so far, this functionality was dealt with in the snippet. So, either mapper/record eventually become this super-omnipotent-mega-classes that can deal with this functionality to (field.toJavaScriptValidatingAndIncrementallyAjaxUpdatingForm ...), or form/html generation happens in multiple locations, or the user has to override some functions from mapper/record/fields. My beef with this is A) that the respective function calls, given their current signature, require the respective mapper/record-objects to be fully aware of application state for more complex applications; and B) that it is my understanding that overriding internal classes of a framework is a bad thing - I'd rather see a proper application of the Hollywood principle. Most web sites I've worked on, there's a default way to display a form and that default is encapsulated in the model itself. This encapsulation does not bar you from building your own form renders, but it does give you nice default behavior. Just wanted to provide an outsider's feedback. Overall, I think lift's just fantastic.

See below. Well keeping close view representation and backend abstraction makes a lot of sense as it reduces lots of complexity. Having records/mappers that know how to represent themselves in different contexts (DB, xhtml) brings a lot of benefits an simplicity. I admit thought that (Btw, by context I meant different HTML display contexts.) I agree that a field should be able to provide hints about how it should be represented, such as max/min length, type, defaults, etc. Depending on the logical context within the app I'm working on, a record (and thus its fields) can have multiple representations: row in a table, complete record as a table, abbreviated record as a table, complete form as table, form as row in a table, form with mandatory fields only, records have to be printed out as ini-files, etc. Unfortunately, it's not me making this stuff up, it's fixed requirements.

[Lift] Advice on Ramping Up
Hi, I am a Java programmer that is interested in learning Lift. I have just finished the first six chapters of Programming in Scala. I wonder what people's opinions are on how much of this book I need to read before diving into Lift. I attempted to dive into Lift without reading anything on Scala and that worked great until I wanted to start reviewing the Lift libraries :) Maybe there are some chapters in this book that I can skip? I think the book is really well written and I have followed everything so far. I just would rather get rolling on Lift sooner rather than later.

[Lift] Re: Lift using JQuery and JCarousel
Hmm ... I'd be very surprised if the the presence of the multiple

I could probably take a look tomorrow and maybe make a lift widget
out of it.

P.S.
You can render stuff in any place you want using various ways. For
instance:
1. Use a snippet
2. Use lift:embed
3.You can post process resulting xml before it is sent to client (a
pretty uncommon need)
I I'd really doubt that this would represent the solution.

Hi -
Sorry to be asking a Scala syntax question here in the Lift group, but
I figured somebody here would know, since this Scala syntax occurs
quite a bit in the Lift source code.
When reading some of the Lift source I come across a particular Scala
idiom involving parameterized types with bounds, whose semantics I'm
unsure of.
For example:
class MappedTextarea[ T : Mapper[ T ] ] ( owner : T, maxLen: Int )
extends
MappedString[ T ]( owner, maxLen ) { ... }
What I'm unsure about here is the part where it says:
T : Mapper[ T ]
At first, this made no sense to me - how could a type T be a subtype
of type Mapper[ T ] ?
Then I guessed that maybe the two occurrences of T are unrelated to
each other - ie, class MappedTextarea is parameterized over a type T,
which must be a subtype of a type Mapper[ T ] -- where the second T is
actually in a separate scope so that it has nothing to do with the
first T.
Is that what this really means?
And, if that's really the case, then I guess the other occurrences of
T later in the text:
owner : T
MappedString[ T ]
are also referring to the first occurrence of T -- the type T which is
upper-bounded by type Mapper[ T ].
Finally, does this mean that the above code could also have been
written equivalently as follows:
class MappedTextarea[ T : Mapper[ U ] ] ( owner : T, maxLen: Int )
extends
MappedString[ T ]( owner, maxLen ) { ... }
using U instead of T for the type parameter that's in a separate
scope?
Thanks for any help.

Hi -
Sorry to be asking a Scala syntax question here in the Lift group, but
I figured somebody here would know, since this Scala syntax occurs
quite a bit in the Lift source code.
When reading some of the Lift source I come across a particular Scala
idiom involving parameterized types with bounds, whose semantics I'm
unsure of.
For example:
class MappedTextarea[ T : Mapper[ T ] ] ( owner : T, maxLen: Int )
extends
MappedString[ T ]( owner, maxLen ) { ... }
What I'm unsure about here is the part where it says:
T : Mapper[ T ]
At first, this made no sense to me - how could a type T be a subtype
of type Mapper[ T ] ?
Then I guessed that maybe the two occurrences of T are unrelated to
each other - ie, class MappedTextarea is parameterized over a type T,
which must be a subtype of a type Mapper[ T ] -- where the second T is
actually in a separate scope so that it has nothing to do with the
first T.
Is that what this really means?
And, if that's really the case, then I guess the other occurrences of
T later in the text:
owner : T
MappedString[ T ]
are also referring to the first occurrence of T -- the type T which is
upper-bounded by type Mapper[ T ].
Finally, does this mean that the above code could also have been
written equivalently as follows:
class MappedTextarea[ T : Mapper[ U ] ] ( owner : T, maxLen: Int )
extends
MappedString[ T ]( owner, maxLen ) { ... }
using U instead of T for the type parameter that's in a separate
scope?
Thanks for any help.

I have definitely wanted to do some work with Lift so I can become more familiar with it as a web app framework, but just haven't had time yet. I'm gradually popping things off my stack of tasks, so I'll get there eventually. Cool. I think there's a need for a better way to test web apps in general and to describe the state models so that they can be tested in a sane way. I just don't have a clue as to how to do it. But... I think it ties in with the JavaScript enhancements I want to see in 1.1. Perhaps there's some sort of state/logic combinator thingy that can emit client-side JS, sync data, and be very testable.

My advice, if your generally / vaugly familiar with Scala from reading PiS (that truly is a very unfortunate acronym!) just dive into making a lift app, then go from there. One of the best things about Lift is the community - if you have questions, chances are its either already in the group archive from one of our many debates, or in the lift book, or if not, just ask on the mailing list and someone will no doubt help you right quick!
