Re: [Lift] Serious widget action

Another alternative could possibly be ZK. Does anybody have any experience with these frameworks? Can you comment on why integrating them with Scala/Lift would be a bad idea (or not work)? I searched for some historical posts on ExtJS and discovered some threads about it's license and how it impacts inclusion in the lift framework. Would a commercial license prohibit it from being a lift- widget submodule candidate? Does anybody have a better suggestion that you think can compete with ExtJS? I'm using ExtJS in anger at 0rk. 3.1.1 is nice. 3.0.0 is weird. Some odd bugs being reported. We're also getting some weird interactions with some other js libraries ( I won't mention it, it's not available anymore, and if it was it just leave you scarred) and CSS. However, that's the other libraries fault more then ExtJS's. If you want something that looks and feels as close to a desktop app as you can get.. ExtJS can do the job well. With Lift providing the JSON, it would be hard to go wrong. That said.. ExtJS is not an easy beast to learn. It's even worse to try and L10N it easily. I would not try and use just pieces of it, it's really not designed to do that. It seems to me to be an all or nothing approach. That's not say you can't use it piecemeal, I think you lose a lot of flexibility (especially in layout) that way. I wouldn't use it if left to my own devices though, unless I had a requirement for a desktop app on the web. It's serious overkill. -- James A Barrows -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group. To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com.

Re: [Lift] Re: IdPK Model boiler-plate
How about: PrimaryKeyEquality
which would read something like: class foo extends IdPk with
PrimaryKeyEquality

I'm going to implement this as a sub-trait of IdPK (anyone got a good name

values, you don't have to have all the boilerplate.

What's wrong with KeyedMapper's implementation?
Well, that was exactly why I was asking the question, Is this
implementation for equals and hashCode a good idea? I had gotten
this at some point, been using it, and am only questioning it now
because if it truly is a good idea, I think it should be part of the
framework...
The hashCode implementation for KeyedMapper looks essentially the
same:
this.id.is.hashCode
vs.
primaryKeyField.is.hashCode
However, the equals implementation for KeyedMapper is a little
different:
override def equals (other : Any) = other match {
case t : Team if t.id.is == this.id.is = true
case _ = false
}
vs.
override def equals (other : Any) : Boolean = {
other match {
case null = false
case km: KeyedMapper[Nothing,Nothing] if
this.getClass.isAssignableFrom(km.getClass) ||
km.getClass.isAssignableFrom(this.getClass) =
this.primaryKeyField == km.primaryKeyField
case k = super.equals(k)
}
}
There are some subtle differences. I have never used inheritance with
Mapper to make a complex class hierarchy, so I'm not 100% sure of the
ramifications (or if it is even possible).
Personally, I would imagine that two mapper objects are equal using a
primary key comparison only as long as they are read-only singletons.
If I had instance #1 loaded into val A and again into var B, then
modified some elements of B, I would no longer expect A to equal B --
but with the above implementation, they remain equal as long as the
primary key field is not altered.
In JPA/Hibernate land, I actually have a different approach for equals
and hashCode: each field is compared with the exception of the @Id
and @Version columns because they can change upon persistence, and so
are not part of the equality. I leverage Apache Commons-Lang
builders:
@Override
public boolean equals (final Object obj) {
return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj,
EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE);
}
@Override
public int hashCode () {
return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this,
EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE);
}
/**
* Exclude fields from equals, hashCode, and compareTo that may
change upon
* persistence.
*
* @see a href=http://www.hibernate.org/109.html;Best
strategies for
* implementation of equals() and hashcode() in your persistent
classes./a
*/
private static final String [] EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE =
{id, version};
So, if Hibernate suggests that you should NOT just compare the primary
key field, why should Lift-Mapper be doing that?

Re: [Lift] Reorganize mapper specs?
On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 1:00 PM, Naftoli Gugenheim naftoli...@gmail.comwrote: I'm not 100% clear on your proposal. First of all, is what I've done (on RB) in the meantime okay (without a ticket)? Basically, I renamed ItemsListSpecs to MapperSpecs2 and put the test for issue 370 there. MapperSpecs2 only uses H2 memory db. (Any suggestions for a better name?) ItemsListOnH2MemorySpecs.scala ItemsListH2MemorySpecs.scala ItemsList_H2Memory_Specs.scala -- this is probably the most readable and sets up the pattern for names like WhatsUnderTest_JDBCDriverSpecificName_Specs It's wordy, but if you want everything in the same directory, then that's what happens. Probably better would be: itemsList/ItemsListSpecs.scala itemsList/H2MemorySpecs.scala itemsList/JdbcDriverSpecs.scala Less wordy, but you have one more directory to traverse to get there. However if you figure we'll have mysql, sqlserver, oracle, h2 postgres at a minimum, I think that this actually easier on the eyes when trying to find the right jdbc driver specific tests. In addition, we'll probably at some point end up with version specific test cases as well. That should probably go in the same file, and use the version as part of the name. So the specs name (ItemsList, in this case) is the cross driver tests, with the driver specific specs test in the same directory. Any other ideas? As for your proposal, are you saying that things like ItemsListSpecs and 370, which deal with high-level Mapper API not directly related to the database, should ideally be testable on every database vendor? And/or are you saying that *all* the tests should be run by default on only one driver but have the option to run on all? Also, is it possible to run MapperSpecs for all the drivers in parallel, and if so would that cause it to finish faster? Thanks. - David Pollakfeeder.of.the.be...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 12:47 PM, Naftoli Gugenheim naftoli...@gmail.com wrote: Based on discussion on Review Board item 247, I want to propose the following change to the organization of Mapper specs. Currently there are four files in framework/lift-persistence/lift-mapper/src/test/scala/net/liftweb/mapper: DBProviders - initalization for each provider to be tested MapperSpecs - the original set of tests. Tested per provider, which makes sense for tests that interact with the database ManyToManySpecs - tests I added with an enhancement to ManyToMany to not choke on broken joins. Only uses DBProviders.H2MemoryProvider. When FK constraints are enabled in H2 this will have to disable them. ItemsListSpecs - tests for a bugfix in ItemsList. Also only uses DBProviders.H2MemoryProvider. Currently MapperSpecs takes about five minutes to run on my laptop. So any new test that isn't driver dependent should probably not be tested on all drivers. Thus I'm considering consolidating ItemsListSpecs and ManyToManySpecs into one specs for all H2MemoryProvider-only tests. Then, with two set of tests, one run for each driver and one not, maybe their names should reflect that. It's just a possible idea, but what do people think? Also, if I would go ahead would it need a ticket or just straight to RB? I agree with the goal of shortening the time it takes to run mapper tests. I would like there to be a way (not the default, but something that can be done with some form of compiler/maven flags) to run all cross-products of all tests so we just make 100% sure that things work on all RDBMSs.

[Lift] Has anyone gotten the uservoice javascript to work?
I'm trying to get the uservoice widget working correctly, but it doesn't
like working from the server, but works from a file just fine when I view
source and copy and paste to a file. Any help would be appreciated!
Uservoice adds it's feedback tab via some javascript that looks like:
script type=text/javascript
var uservoiceOptions = {
/* required */
key: 'customerelevator',
host: 'customerelevator.uservoice.com',
forum: '39338',
showTab: true,
/* optional */
alignment: 'left',
background_color:'#f00',
text_color: 'white',
hover_color: '#06C',
lang: 'en'
};
function _loadUserVoice() {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
s.setAttribute('src', (https: == document.location.protocol ?
https://; : http://;) +
cdn.uservoice.com/javascripts/widgets/tab.js);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
}
_loadSuper = window.onload;
window.onload = (typeof window.onload != 'function') ? _loadUserVoice
: function() { _loadSuper(); _loadUserVoice(); };
/script
You add it at the end of the page, near the /body tag. I put tthe
//![CDATA[wrapper around the javascript itself:
script type=text/javascript
// ![CDATA[
/* Javascript from above goes here */
// ]]
If I view source, and copy/paste the code to a file, it works just fine.
When I add http://localhost:8080 to all the now broken links, it works just
fine. It's just when I view the page from the server that it's b0rked.

Re: [Lift] setuid
On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 10:08 AM, Tamer Rizk tsr...@gmail.com wrote: I am using Apache as a reverse proxy forwarding traffic to Jetty on port 8181. I am under the impression that a slight performance benefit offered by Apache would be offset by the bottleneck arising from double request handling (resulting in a reduction of throughput in comparison to direct requests to Jetty). Depends on what you serve a lot of. If it's anything but the page (i.e. css, js, png, img, etc etc), then you'll see better performance with Apache in front then jetty by itself. On the other hand, if you're serving mostly dynamic pages, then you won't see as much of a performance boost. However, ultimately, you're going to be better off putting Apache/Nginx in front. the performance concerns vs horizontal scaling options doing so are minor. A web server in front of the application server model allows you to easily add application servers to the mix. Running an application server alone won't do that. As with any talk of optimization, you should do it only when you have a problem. Thus, I would like the option to remove Apache down the road. In either case I would not want Jetty running as root. At this point its just an experiment, so I will try out a production scenario with Jetty server in the hopes that the issue with missing org.mortbay.setuid.SetUIDServer is due to building with Maven and using the plugin. Please let me know if you have a reason to believe otherwise. Thanks to all. I've never heard of a way to get a command line from the Java VM. The VM doesn't really work that way, and so gives you a layer of protection you don't have with a native app. http://math.hws.edu/eck/cs124/javanotes4/c9/s1.html is a nice summary of why. While Scala is not Java, it does run in the Java VM, using the compile Java Byte Code.

After a number of attempts, I made a more substantial change to fix it. 301 - ItemsListEditor should allow custom columns Provide a hook so user code can add additional columns, e.g., calculated data. 302 - ItemsListEditor should display items pending removal, albeit in strikeout font Previously when you click 'Remove' the item disappears, and only reappears if you reload it without saving first. This places the items at the end of the list, uneditable and in a strikeout font. I would like to add a new enhancement as well, namely to generate javascript to prompt you if you try to leave the page with unsaved items. These changes sound nice. I haven't used this before.

This is perfectly working
As for the number, are you talking about a userId? Why would you think
you can't set an arbitrary field in Mapper?
no, it is not a userId, just think of it as some string. Let's call it
userSpecialString for the moment. I know that I can set some field but my
problem is that when *storing a new user in the database*, the system
should:
1) start transaction
2) generate special number/string from database
3) set userSpecialString to this generated thing
4) store new user in the database
5) end transaction
In this previous question:
http://old.nabble.com/%28Newbie-Question%29-How-to-do-simple-transaction-with-mapper--td26191398.html
I find the following:
import net.liftweb.*mapper*.{DB, DefaultConnectionIdentifier}
DB.use(DefaultConnectionIdentifier) { conn =
conn.setAutoCommit(false)
... // CRUDs
if(success) conn.commit
else conn.rollback
conn.setAutoCommit(true)
}
Have you tried something like this?
Steps 2-4 are no problem. My problem is how to do this in one transaction
(steps 1 and 5) and where the best place is so that steps 1-5 automatically
happen when calling newUser.save()

Firstly, I think I was clear that I'm not going to do anything that you or David disapprove of. So if my idea is not a good one just scratch it! In any case I'm confused by what you said. What is hidden about a Google Docs document? Whoever wants to participate in the discussion can write in the document. The first problem is that anyone who might wish to comment hase to know about it. How often people either not check, not check thoroughly enough the existing mailing list as it is?So now you want them to read the mailing list or the wiki to find out about a discussion happening someplace else? That's going to complicate matters a whole lot. The second problem is that you won't be able to get away from the implication that things are being done behind the communities back. Pretty much no matter what you do. Again the problem is human beings. Everybody is not going to search, and some people are going to feel like that without a personal invitation to join the elite working way over here, they have no opportunity to participate. The spreadsheet I created is just a data tracker. I fully expect, and encourage the discussions to happen on the lists. The limited number of people who can write to it is to prevent discussions happening away from the list, not to limit the discussion itself. That's why it has columns to put links to discussion on it. And if three people, or ten, discuss it there and then run it by everyone on the list, those people will certainly not ignore what others on the list have to say. Was I unclear in the previous message? Or is my ignorance of Google Docs at play? Or did I misunderstand something? There's a huge difference between people working together, coming to the list and going what's the best way to solve 'X', or we think 'Y' would better the 'X' because of blah blah, and people working together and coming to the list and going Change this!.There's an even bigger difference when the latter are some sort of Refactor and Reorganize Lift Committee.

[Lift] How to handle a redirect to your site with info for a user that still has to sign up/login?
I'm working on a plugin for a website. Essentially a user of the external
website (we'll call it Shopify), can click on a link to add my service to
their webstore. So Shopify uses a URL like:
http://localhost:8080/shopify/addStore?timestamp=1260635800shop=kemmer-hahn-and-kunde1221.myshopify.comsignature=e68e54623fd662db8262ccae5a4255c9t=d1c685b222bada796438214e79516fc1
This provides me with everything I need to get access to the Shopify (and
now, my) customer. However, they have not yet registered with my site yet.
So I have code that handles the case where they are already logged in, and
where they just need to login. When I try to register them, the code
doesn't work. The User.loginRedirect seems to get lost somewhere. This
tells me that I don't understand something. Like is there an easier way?
:) And more importantly what am I missing?
Here's the Boot:
LiftRules.dispatch.append {
case Req(shopify :: install :: addStore :: Nil, _,_ ) =
ShopifyUI.addStore _
}
And then this is the addStore implementation:
object ShopifyUI {
def addStore(): Box[net.liftweb.http.LiftResponse] = {
object shopInfoVar extends SessionVar[Box[ShopInfo]](Empty)
var shopInfo: ShopInfo = ShopInfo.createInstance
param(timestamp) match {
case Full(x) = shopInfo.timestamp.set(new Date(x.toLong))
case _ = error(timestamp, Shopify did not send a timestamp.)
}
param(shop) match {
case Full(x) = shopInfo.shopName.set(List.fromString(x, '.').first)
case _ = error(shop, Shopify did not send a shop url.)
}
param(signature) match {
case Full(x) = shopInfo.signature.set(x)
case _ = error(signature, Shopify did not send a signature.)
}
param(t) match {
case Full(x) = {
shopInfo.authenticationToken.set(x)
shopInfo.shopPassword.set(ShopifyService.createPasswordForStore(x))
}
case _ = error(t, Shopify did not send an authentication token
(the 't' param))
}
if( ! errors.isEmpty !shopInfoVar.is.isEmpty) {
clearCurrentNotices
shopInfo = shopInfoVar.is.open_!
}
if (User.loggedIn_?) {
shopInfo.owner.set(User.currentUser.open_!.id)
shopInfo.save
} else {
shopInfoVar(Full(shopInfo))
User.loginRedirect(Full(/shopify/install/addStore))
}
Full(RedirectResponse(/shopinfo/list))
}

Here's something else to think about on this issue. A good typist, familiar with their material can type faster then most code completions can operate. In studying data entry folks at UofP, I noticed something about the auto-complete functionality that wasn't obvious to me before. It's not how fast the code complete pops up that slow you down. It's the mental shift from typing to reading that takes the most time. You always have to verify that what the auto-complete is going to use is correct. This almost always takes more time then typing it yourself (assuming an expert typist). In general, the principle goal of this effort must be improving the clarity of the Lift API for both new adopters and for maintainers. 100% agreed! In order to make Lift even more popular it is essential to ease adoption. Often folks require better documentation and we all know that the code (the API) is the first and best source of documentation.

Re: [Lift] Open discussion on Lift Name Calling practices
Dates have changed below. I slipped everything a week.

We've got singular names as lists, and plural names that aren't lists. We've got people calling roses red flowers, spades diamonds and other mass chaos. Well, it's not that bad, but you get the idea. This is an attempt to come up with a series of standard names to make working in lift easier, not only for the committers, but also (and more importantly) for you folks using it on a day to day basis. Achieving this means that there must be two things, a set of rules for naming conventions, and a process to make sure everyone is following those rules, and changing things when we mess it up. This thread is for discussing the process. I'll be starting another thread to discuss the rules, as well as another thread to discuss current names that we want to change. As always, if you don't speak up, you're not dissenting, and we welcome your views and ideas on how to do this! 1) Goal discussion (closes 15 Dec 09) 2) Identify changes, and put the list on the wiki (closes 22 Jan 10) 3) Convert the list to github tickets. This includes discussing setting priorities etc, assessing impacts etc etc to go into the ticket. (closes 5 Jan 10) 4) Committers can then work the tickets into their own workflows, and everything would then follow the normal commit workflow from there. (committers work according to priority and impact etc) 5) Naming becomes a part of the normal review board process. However, if a committer thinks that the Name Caller needs to look at it earlier, or is having a hard time with naming something, by all means send an email. ( date we add this to the process 5 Feb 10) 6) As we find things we missed, or better names, we work them through the github ticket and review system. ( date we add this to the process 5 Feb 10) -- James A Barrows The timeline looks good to me, with the exception of the fact that we've already passed the first milestone! With respect to goals, I have a few general suggestions. 1) Remove ambiguity wherever possible! There are a number of places where very similar names are used to refer to utterly different things. 2) As an aide removing ambiguity, consider outlawing or eliminating extremely generic names, or else establish a single way in which a given name will be used across Lift. Examples are Field, Info, Holder, etc. 3) Avoid making the name of the return type part of the name of the method. The types should tell the story as much as possible, except in the case where multiple methods varying only in return type would exist (illegal overloads) 4) Prefer Scala-style accessors and mutators. I also am attaching a start at some names I see as suboptimal from S.scala, but since this thread isn't really for discussion of individual naming issues (and such a thread doesn't yet exist) I thought I'd go ahead and present my suggestions as a strawman for format and what type of changes might be considered.

[Lift] The thread for discussing names that need to change.
And we can start with Kris's list! Which hopefully will start things off
nicely.
If any particular discussion starts getting long, I, or the discussers
should move it to it's own thread.
module: lift-util
file: src/main/scala/net/liftweb/util/JsonCmd.scala
ResponseInfoHolder = ResponseMetadata
module: lift-webkit
file: src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/S.scala
RewriteHolder = NamedRewrite
DispatchHolder = NamedDispatch
CookieHolder = Cookies
(\w+)HighLevelSessionDispatcher = \1SessionDispatcher (No LowLevel???)
? = % or $ (printf, jsp - what's the inspiration for ? as
localization/formatting?)
(\w+)_? = is\1 (underscore is used for enough things in Scala, let's not
make method names harder to read)
getHeader = getResponseHeader
getDocType = docType (change return type from tuple to case class with
sematically significant names?)
setDocType = docType_=
addCleanupFunc = onCleanup
functionLifespan_= parameter type Boolean = Lifespan (sealed trait
Lifespan; case object Session extends Lifespan; case object Request extends
Lifespan)
functionLifespan_? = functionLifespan
attrs = snippetAttrs; return type should be something more informative than
List[(Either[String, (String, String)], String)]
prefixedAttrsToMap = snippetAttrMap
prefixedAttrsToMetadata = snippetAttrMetadata
mapToAttrs: Move to one of the util classes? No state dependencies in this
one...
getSessionAttribute(s: String) = containerSessionAttribute (to avoid
confusion with LiftSession) where containerSessionAttribute is a local
object as defined below
setSessionAttribute(s: String, v: String) = containerSessionAttribute(s:
String) = v; see below
object containerSessionAttribute {
def apply(name: String) = containerSession.flatMap(_.attribute(name) match
{case s: String = Full(s) case _ = Empty})
def update(name: String, value: String) =
containerSession.foreach(_.setAttribute(name, value))
def unset(name: String) =
containerSession.foreach(_.removeAttribute(name))
}
fmapFunc = something else this is confusing for those familiar with fmap
from Haskell
clearCurrentNotices =
Disambiguate S.loc / Loc; maybe use S.l instead (taking inspiration from
rails's h)
Disambiguate getNotices/getAllNotices/notices. Since there's a Notice type
of notice, maybe getNotices = messages ?
the current methods messages/noIdMessages/idMessages are all pure functions
that don't interact with state, maybe move them elsewhere?
NoticeType, maybe make a sealed trait w/case objects instead of Enumeration?
Why does S._statefulSnip not override nameSalt?
Needs better documentation, potential renames, or both:
currentAttrs*
locateMappedSnippet
booster (private, unused, candidate for removal?)
formFuncName
formGroup
*FuncHolder - these are widely used, but neither the names, types, or
documentation tell the novice what they're for
General suggestions:
Disambiguate/eliminate generic names: Field, Param,

[Lift] Having trouble figuring out how to get a form to submit without submitting the page, using ajaxForm
This is the basic definition of the form that works, but submits the page: xhtml: lift:PartyContactMechanismSnippets.save form=post !-- Form fields -- contactMechanism:submit/ /lift:PartyContactMechanismSnippets.save And the binding looks like: bind(contactMechanism, xhtml, comment - text(comment, comment = _), fromDate - text(fromDate, fromDate = _) % (id - fromDate) % (maxlength - 15) % (size - 15), thruDate - text(thruDate, thruDate = _) % (id - thruDate) % (maxlength - 15) % (size - 15), submit - submit(Add, saveContactMechanismToParty )) So, after reading the ajaxForm methods description I thought I could do this: xhtml: lift:PartyContactMechanismSnippets.save !-- Form fields -- contactMechanism:submit/ /lift:PartyContactMechanismSnippets.save And the binding would look like: ajaxForm( bind(contactMechanism, xhtml, comment - text(comment, comment = _), fromDate - text(fromDate, fromDate = _) % (id - fromDate) % (maxlength - 15) % (size - 15), thruDate - text(thruDate, thruDate = _) % (id - thruDate) % (maxlength - 15) % (size - 15), //mechanism - text(dateFormat.format(new Date()), thruDate = _) % (id - thruDate) % (maxlength - 10) % (size - 10), submit - submit(Add, saveContactMechanismToParty ))) However, when the submit button is clicked the saveContactMechanismToParty never gets called.

That markup should be in a template file somewhere, which would then call

might just be missing it.
A couple of other notes:
- Generally, on links, omit the suffix and Lift will then do I18N
lookup for you as needed. That means use /contact/person/edit instead of
/contact/person/edit.html
- When you're deleting in JPA, there's no need to do a merge first.
Just obtain a reference instead and delete that. It's more efficient. Your
code would look like:
def doDelete() = {
try {
Model.removeAndFlush(Model.getReference(classOf[Person],
person.getId());
notice(Deleted + person.getFirstName() + +
person.getLastName())
redirectTo(/contact/list)

You have Scala QL. Since Lift is written in Scala you have a plethora of Java based ORM's and DB acccess libraries as well. It's your choice, really.

Re: [Lift] Issue 201 - checkbox not returning all checked
On Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Ross Mellgren dri...@gmail.com wrote: yejun on github opened up an issue: def checkbox[T](possible : Seq[T], actual : Seq[T], func : (Seq[T]) = Any, attrs : (String, String)*) Checkbox is returning a list of checkboxes? Could we at least make checkbox return and either checkboxList or checkboxes for many? Func will only return first element in possible when it is checked or List(). It is easily reproducible. Based on the type of func, I agree it looks like it should give all checked boxes, not just either the first checked box or an empty list. If it's supposed to be for a single checkbox only, then I think the type should be changed to Box[T] = Any, or at the very least a doc comment indicating that it only supports a single check box. This behavior was introduced withhttp://github.com/dpp/liftweb/commit/8b2a92a58ded608a0d3a7b6ead29cd2af6302c5e http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/commit/8b2a92a58ded608a0d3a7b6ead29cd2af6302c5e . Since there is no doc comment on the function I wanted to check what is the intended behavior before making and posting a patch to either do multiple checkbox or make the doc comment / type more clear and add another function to do the multi behavior.

Re: [Lift] JPA and eager fetch
Model isn't doing much other then setting up the manager to work, so I don't
think that's the issue.
I don't have time to look at it this morning, but if no one has an answer
for you, I'll try to help this evening.

Newbie Lift / JPA alert!
I am sure I am doing something dumb here, but I can't quite figure it
out. I have a JPA project (modelled after the lift JPA demo app).
I have an object with a one-to-many association, and I want to eager
fetch the collection. It is declared like :
@OneToMany(){ val targetEntity = classOf[OpenIdUser], val cascade =
Array(CascadeType.ALL), val fetch=FetchType.EAGER}
var openIds : _root_.java.util.Set[OpenIdUser] = new
_root_.java.util.HashSet[OpenIdUser]()
In my spa persistence unit, eager fetching works fine from the unit
test. The unit test uses plain old emf factory instances.
However, from my web application (run with jetty:run) and using
Model.createNamedQuery, or Model.find, only the parent object is
fetched. The collection is not.
I gather this has something to do with the way that Model works? Or
are my annotations being ignored when they are packed in a .jar file?
Clues would be appreciated.
Thanks
Warren

Re: [Lift] Looking for the single person who owns naming in Lift
I'm still new to learning Lift, and Scala for that matter, but if you can't find anyone better, I'll do it. On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 12:37 PM, David Pollak feeder.of.the.be...@gmail.com wrote: Folks, There has been a lot of talk about method/class naming in Lift lately. It's a good thing(tm) to normalize method and class naming in Lift. But it's also important that after the initial cleanup is done, the consistency is kept going forward. It's also important that there's a pair of eyes looking at code as it's evolving and getting the names right early. For example, the common Actor stuff was floating around for 6 weeks (and very publicly so) before we rolled it into Lift. Jonas and I were the only ones that commented on the code. We got it to where we liked it and pushed it into master... then people made suggestions about the names. This is the wrong time. As important APIs are evolving, it's important to get the names right before people start using the code. So, I'm asking for someone in the community to step forward and own naming in Lift. You may choose to have commit rights to the Lift code or not, but you will be responsible for: - Understanding most (all?) of the Lift modules such that the person has a broad understanding of the pieces of Lift - Organizing a set of change recommendations for name changes and deprecations - Soliciting community involvement and feedback on the recommendations - Finalizing the recommendations for the next release of Lift (whether that's called 1.1 or 2.0) - Doing ongoing review of material additions to Lift to make sure things are consistent So, if you're interested in that role (and it's a non-trivial time commitment over the next 6 weeks), please contact me off-list and let's chat.

Re: [Lift] Hosting problem, could PHP hosting front end the Liftweb? or is there cheap Liftweb hosting?
I use rackspace cloud servers (rackspacecloud.com) for my hosting. runs me about 55/month for a medium sized server. They have an API etc for autostarting servers, and shutting them down. Then you have the spring source stuffhttp://www.springsource.com/products/cloudfoundrythat runs on Amazon, but gives you pushbutton deployment and autoscaling etc. On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 9:45 PM, philip philip14...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I will explain my problem, generally it is easy and cheap to get a PHP hosting account, often my new customers for websites have a PHP hosting as they are on the cheaper end of websites.

So my thought is that if I could write a PHP script I could use that to mirror my real server, also conbined with a .htaccess. So a request going to the PHP server hosting the domain would be re-directed to my real server and the content sent back to the client. I guess a iframe would work, but thats ugly.

Re: [Lift] Re: Call it Lift 2.0
On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 11:13 PM, Heiko Seeberger heiko.seeber...@googlemail.com wrote: I think version numbers are idiotic, and created by the marketing department, and not engineers. I strongly disagree: An appropriate version strategy is not at all about marketing but expresses valuable information. In OSGi increasing the major version means breaking changes in the API, increasing the minor version means nonbreaking changes in the API and increasing the micro version means no changes to the API but only changes of the implementation. Further these versions are used to declare dependencies between modules (OSGi bundles) which results in a high degree of trust that different modules work seamlessly together. As Lift also is to support OSGi (already some support in place) it would be beneficial to stick to this version policy. Version numbers only guarantee that the number is different. What you call no changes to the API, but changes to the implementation', I call completely destroy my expectations of how this works, and therefore creates a show stopper bug for me. Which, by your logic should have been a more major number. And this entire argument proves my point. I can counter every argument you have for your scheme with real world epic fails that happened because one person version of minor, is another persons version of major. The behavior of a method, it's implementation is part of the contract I have with the library. If you change the behavior I depend on, then that's major. No matter how minor you might think the change. Moving from a hashmap to a list is a huge change, for a sufficiently large set of data for instance. I can think of several hundred other minor implementation changes you can make, that can have drastic consequences to the calling code. So, just because you, or some committee think that the change is minor, I still have to thoroughly test everything that uses your library. So calling it minor doesn't do me any good.

Most importantly it tells you that you need to test your stuff to make sure it works because stuff has changed. That's what I really need to know, that and how old is my library. How old is version 2.3.1? A year? two years? 6 months? How do I know when to go looking for an updated version of the library? I think a 2.0 needs more time with a 2.0 mindset. Once 2.0 is on the table there may be more redesign involved. I disagree: Versions should not express a mindset but information about (non)breaking API changes. That's all, no magic, no marketing, no mindset.

[Lift] Re: Call it Lift 2.0
On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 4:01 PM, Heiko Seeberger heiko.seeber...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, There has been a large amount of new stuff and also some breaking changes since Lift 1.0. As an OSGi guy I suggest we call the next version Lift 2.0, because increasing the major version number will show the world that there are breaking changes and/or cool new features. At least, this is how versions are used in OSGi land. OK, I know that Sun follows another version strategy (keeping the major version fixed to 1 forever) and the Scala folks also seem to be stick to 2.x (quite a lot people would like 2.8 to be 3.0), but IMHO this is no reason for Lift to follow the same mislead strategy. So what do you think? I think version numbers are idiotic, and created by the marketing department, and not engineers. You just need a build number so you can tell if you're on the right version, and that's about it. As you point out, one mans 1.3 is another mans 2.0. The version number should be something like 20091231 to indicate just how old your version is.

[Lift] Re: ManyToMany decision
On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 2:16 PM, Naftoli Gugenheim naftoli...@gmail.comwrote: Hello. When I wrote ManyToMany a couple of months ago, I designed it to internally hold a collection of join table records, and to act as a collection of elements of the child table. For example, given Volunteer and VolunteerGroup where volunteers can be in multiple groups, Volunteer.volunteerGroups implements a collection of VolunteerGroups, but internally it's actually managing a collection of VolunteerVolunteerGroups (the join table). I don't think you really need to maintain the pivot table list (VolunteerVolunteerGroups) at all. If you maintain the Many-to-Many as part of the object, and use a standard naming convention then you don't really need this extra list running around. You can still build the SQL correctly knowing only the objects involved. The current implementation throws an error (Predef.error) when it tries to get the child element via the join record and it doesn't exist. Thus any page accessing corrupted data will not display if the error is not caught. I plan, G-d willing, to change the implementation to silently skip such records. But the occurrence that reminded me of the defect also brought another point to my attention. To my knowledge Lift's schemifier does not correctly generate foreign key constraints for all databases (at least not at the point in time it schemified my H2 database... :) ) so we need a way for ManyToMany to keep things in sync. ManyToMany helps, to an extent, because when its MappedManyToMany members are initialized, it puts them in a list, and it propagates saves and deletes. So if you have a ManyToMany Mapper instance that contains a MappedManyToMany that has been initialized, and you call delete_! on the Mapper, it will delete all the associated join table entries. But it's not enough. 1. That can only happen if both sides of the relationship use MappedManyToMany. Is there some way to enforce this? I was thinking of using a combination of (a) requiring the foreign MetaMapper to extends ManyToMany, and (b) when a MappedManyToMany is initialized, it should check that the foreign MetaMapper/ManyToMany actually contains a MappedManyToMany referring to the current MappedManyToMany. (a) is not sufficient without (b), and (b) has the same problem as #2 below, that objects are lazy. I think you're right here. Both sides have to have the mapping.. however I don't think there is a good clean way to detect this without a compiler plugin of some kind. 1. There is a basic problem, which is that since objects are lazy, if you haven't referenced the MappedManyToMany field, delete_! will not be able to propagate to the join entries. As you traverse the deleteing side, doesn't the other side get initialized as well? #2 and #1.b can be solved by using reflection to initialize the MappedManyToMany members eagerly, just as MetaMapper does for all MappedFields. (MappedManyToMany is not a MappedField.) Now the advantage to having them lazy is that if you don't reference them they don't query the database. This advantage can be retained though by implementing the collection internally to populate lazily, much as MappedOneToMany already is. Thoughts? I think your maintaining to much information that can be deduced from the context.

If this was a MVC type framework, I think you're point would be valid. But it isn't a MVC framework. The snippet is tightly coupled to the xhtml, because it's the dynamic part of the xhtml. The best way to mitigate these kinds of changes is to design the UI first, then build the snippets. That way, you're not rearranging as often. See this article for a better understanding: http://wiki.liftweb.net/index.php?title=Lift_View_First Imagine that I want to change my view from this: a href=next span class=namename/span span class=commentdescription/span span class=arrow/ /a to this: span class=namename/span span class=commentdescription/span a href=next span class=arrow/ /a This would mean that I need to change my template from: b1:link span class=nameb2:name//span span class=commentb2:description//span span class=arrow/ /b1:link to this: span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span b:link span class=arrow/ /b:link And then I need to update my code from: bind(b1, xhtml, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b), bind(b2, kids, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is ))) to something like this: bind(b, xhtml, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b)) ))) My complaint is that reorganizing the view is tending to require code changes at the snippet level. And that just doesn't seem right to me. At first, I thought that I could leverage the recursive nature of snippets. In other words, I thought I could avoid the b1 and b2 binding keys and simply use b, then when the first round contained more b variables to bind, it would recurse. Alas, this didn't work (I'm sorry, but I don't recall the error message). But this was what I was thinking: b:link span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span span class=arrow/ /b:link or this: span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span b:link span class=arrow/ /b:link and the code would remain this: bind(b, xhtml, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b)) ))) -- James A Barrows --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

It was a surround without at attribute, and with multiple bind-at-s inside. Nothing got bound, as far as I could see. When I replaced the bind-at's with with-params, they *did* bind as expected. However, head-merging didn't work. No errors either, just didn't work. That would be because those are examples of tags, not copy-and-paste-code necessarily. I can think of about million definitions of just didn't work. Which one do you mean here? When I used a surround with an at attribute as in the old wiki, but without bind-at's or with-params, head-merging *did* work! That's why I assumed that that description was the newer version! So now it seems I'm on the wrong track, because that's the code I started using. Again. No code, can't really tell you what's wrong, or right. Another problem I didn't resolve sofar is that I had a few conventional a href=.. elements in my page. But jetty can't resolve them so clearly I have to do more than that. Should be trivial, of course. Guess it has something to do with the sitemap, but I don't have a clear picture as to how that works. The examples I found are much more involved than what I was looking for. Yes, sitemap is a place to start looking. The problem is that you're not providing enough detail to help you out. Doesn't work is not enough to help out. Did you get a 404 error? blank page? Anything at all? Which examples are you talking about? Most of the ones I've seen are fairly trivial.

No, you always have to save the parents before the relationship. Well.. as

The analogy of linguistics is a good one :-) Without wanting to diverge this thread, can I ask why it is your unhappy with Record? Its been fairly fun to use so far and appears to work well. I don't like mutable fields. I don't like manual saving. Dunno... it's hard to articulate... it just feels wrong in my tummy. Also, I want to be clear that I think Marius did a great job of cleaning up some of the problems with Mapper when he did Record... my comments are not a negative to him... there's just something unsatisfying about the whole approach. Bet that was less than helpful. I've worked with an OODBMs systems before, and of course ORM. OODBMs takes care of the manual saving, and could probably take care of the mutable fields too. The problem with OODBMs is that every object has strings attached to it to make the persistence mechanism work. Even the systems that don't require you to inherit a special class have these strings. The problem is that in a web based framework, the tags don't have this string. So you deliver an unattached field to the browser, then have to reattach it later. This is actually uglier then it sounds (or was when I was doing it). It's the de-tached vs attached issues that make things entertaining. However, AJAX/Comet and the other dynamic stuff wasn't around in 2001, and so we may be able to solve some of those issues. Whether we can do that and persist to a RDMS is the real question, and I don't think that will ever be anything but ugly. I hope I'm proven wrong. I think Hibernate and JPA are steps in the right direction. JPA being a half-step back from Hibernate. I think if you could convert the XML to a real DSL, it would be another step. Annotations are a step there. Another step would be to create an object sans-setters and getters of any kind. Just magically deal with the internal object state.

I believe this is because the patterns are different than those I've rehearsed through my journey of asm, Basic, C, ObjC, C++, Java, Ruby, and Scala. Rehearsing a different paradigm is part of making that paradigm part of you. When I studied French in grade school and high school, I was flummoxed and quite angered by gendered nouns. As a native English speaker, a table is an it, not a she (or he.) But fluent French speakers make gendered nouns a normal part of the language, and once skilled can use these subtleties with great skill. My 2 year learning curve for Scala can be summed up in the first 4 (or maybe 5) chapters of Beginning Scala. I sought to present my painful learning curve in 150 pages that could be reasonably consumed by a Java or Ruby or Python coder in a week or two. Yeah, it still takes a fair amount of practice, rehearsal, to be proficient, but if someone had led me down the path that I led my readers down, I think my pain-curve would have been 3-4 months, not two years. Put a different way, the Programming in Scala folks passed a couple of drafts of the first chapters of their book by me early on. I think PinS is a tredmendously awesome work, but I objected strongly to the show imperative first and gently migrate to functional approach they took. I thought it did a significant disservice to their readers. I took the opposite approach in BegSca... the second substantive example covers a broad spectrum of functional programming. So, getting to some of the substance of your post, as Tim pointed out, the _ is a running joke in Scala-land. Yep, it's way overloaded. Every time (and this happened at both Scala Lift Offs) Martin tries to justify the _'s use, people roll their eyes. On the other hand, the example that you gave is one of my proudest moments in Lift. Specifically, I think Mapper is a steaming pile of something. I am really dissatisfied with it (although we followed the same paradigm with Record and I'm unhappy with that as well... mostly from the mutability standpoint). On the other hand, the graceful way that Mapper deals with validators (they are functions and they are declared as a List that can be dynamically generated) is something that I look at and remember it being the first time I really felt

Hi David,
Appreciate your reply. It's definitely helpful in clearing some of my
thoughts,
as well as in my process of learning Scala down the road. I also think your
book is very well paced and organization of the content is well thought
out.
Great job!
I'd like to explain a little bit where my frustration is coming from
(and I don't
want to waste people's time reading further for those who aren't
interested.)
I come from Java and Python background. When learning these two languages
I didn't have a problem with the syntax. I think Java's syntax is well
defined
although verbose, and Python's is clear and concise. There is a small
number
of operators and data types and it's pretty clear which is for what
purpose.
Zen of Python says it well:
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Except that sometimes, there isn't. In fact for any non-trivial case, there
can be multiple ways to do anything.
Sorting is an excellent example. There isn't just one way to sort. Which
way you do it depends on the data, and your
expectations.
and I think this reflects well in the language design of Python.
It's also generally discouraged to use too much black magic when coding
in Python so that the code is easier to understand and maintain, although
Python, being a powerful dynamic language, is very capable of black magics.
These two things helped a lot in my learning of Python. It's a much smaller
set of syntax to learn and it can be learned in a very short time, maybe
through
one or two online tutorials. The rest of it is just libraries, which
are very rich
in functionality, but the source code is easy to understand, because of the
small set of clearly defined elements in the language - syntax and
data types, etc..
However, I don't feel the same about Scala. In Scala, I often see multiple
ways
of doing the same thing, or very similar things, and this is confusing.
Tell me about it If you find Scala confusing, never go look at Perl or
Lisp
Perl's motto is There is more then one way to do it.
For example, there are multiple ways of running a program. You can have a
script, or an application. To run an application, you can write an object
and
implement the main method, or you can extend Application class and write
the code right in the body of the class. It took me a while to figure out
how
it works. What's wrong with having only one of them? Python only start as a
script and Java only need a main method but either way works.
Each brings it's own strengths and weaknesses to the table.
And Java only needs a main isn't true in web development there is no
main. There is no main if you write an eclipse plugin, and there is no main
if you use a Swing based framework. (note if it's just swing, you do.)
Another example is that in some scenarios ( ) and { } are
interchangable in Scala
code, although I haven't figured out in what occasions they are, and
in what occasions
they are not. This puzzles me more because ( ) and { } are the basic
elements
in a language and the language allows such flexible usage of them. Although
I
think there should be a good reason for this but it still struck me as odd.
Wish I could articulate this better. Using the for comprehension as an
example... it's the way it gets compiled into code. There is no for loop in
Scala. A for comprehension gets boiled down to method calls. The curly
braces get converted into an anonymous function.
See
http://creativekarma.com/ee.php/weblog/comments/the_scala_for_comprehension_from_a_java_perspective/
In contrast to Python's short list of operators, because operators are
actually functions
in Scala, it's easy for Scala to have a new operator, or have
functions that works
like operators. This is a powerful feature and it is good news for
people who want to
create DSLs. However I think a plethora of operators make code much harder
to
read before people can make it a habit to convert operators as
functions in their mind.
And too few operators leads to a whole lot of words, which leads to a whole
lot of typing, or a whole lot of ctrl-space completions. It's a toss up.
The wordy way is definitely noob friendly, while the operator way is more
expert friendly.
Which do you design a language for? Let me know when that particular
religious war dies down please.
As someone who slings code for a living the less I type the happier I
am. YMMV
To summarize, the more I learn Scala the more I realize how powerful
it is. Meanwhile,
I think Scala imposes this mind tweaking that people have to go
through in learning
this language, the difficulty that I didn't feel when I learned
Python, or Java, C or C++.
I like many of the features provided by Scala but I hope some of the
things can be
simplified/demystified to make it easier to pick up and use.

This is probably partially due to the dynamic nature of Python.. Python's lack of operators vs GREP might have been better :) GREP is a far better example of operator conciseness. :) Java has way too much boiler plate code, and way to many code slingers who think the JEE Blueprint Patterns are to be followed dogmatically rather then by need... *SIGH* Or, if I may wax metaphorical (and deep into my own opinion)once more... who do you think is the better driver, a NASCAR driver or a Prius driver?

NASCAR is definitely more fun but If the goal is to go from point A to B in time, safely and in a environment friendly way, maybe the Prius driver :-) And I think these are Java developers that Scala is also trying to appeal to. You answered which is more fun, and analyzed the goals of each. How about the which driver is more skilled (ie better)? :) We can even add, who has more understanding of what happens to make the car go? (which of course leads to the question, whose more fuel efficient, the NASCAR driver who knows the shortest way around a turn, and how to draft? or the prius driver? ) :) -- James A Barrows --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] Re: **Breaking Changes** **README** **Important**
RrttrRrrrtrtrtrrrtrtrtrrttÞ Sent on the Now Network™ from my Sprint® BlackBerry -Original Message- From: ssid j.gat...@googlemail.com Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:03:25 To: Liftliftweb@googlegroups.com Subject: [Lift] Re: **Breaking Changes** **README** **Important** Hi all, I'm using XMPP in my little LiftApp and tried to migrate my code to the new Lift Actors. Somehow it seems that net.liftweb.xmpp still uses Scala Actors. Is this intentional or about to change? If not is it possible that Scala Actors communicate with Lift Actors? At the moment I don't get my project to compile due to some type mismatch errors but that might also be my lack of understanding of the different Actor implementations. Thanks, ssid On 22 Okt., 05:37, David Pollak feeder.of.the.be...@gmail.com wrote: Folks, As the title of this email indicates, there are breaking changes in Lift that just got pushed to master. We've migrated from Scala Actors to Lift Actors and included a series of traits that allow Lift to use its own Actors or Akka Actors (or anything else that implements that interface.) The two big changes that you'll have to work with are: - Box/Full/Empty/Failure was moved from the lift-util/net.liftweb.util package to the lift-common/net.liftweb.common package. The reason for this change is that we're going to make the lift-common package a more generic, non-web related package. It currently contains Box and Actor, but in the future may contain other interfaces that will have concrete implementations outside of Lift. We moved Box there because Box is richer than Scala's Option class and being able to carry Exceptions around in a Box while still being able to map/flatMap/foreach over a Box (these are unavailable for Scala's Either). Some we're going to actively promote using Box as a replacement for Option in all Scala apps. What this means for you is you have to import net.liftweb.common._ in any file that you also import net.liftweb.util.? - Lift no longer support Scala Actors for Comet Actors. The GenericActor API offers pretty much the same client interface to Lift's Actors, so ! and !? work the same way. However, there's no link, self, start or exit methods. Please do an mvn -U clean install on your code and run it against the new code. If you have any Comet-related weirdness, please report it immediately. We're planning M7 in 2 weeks, so we've got lots of time to iron any kinks out of this code.

[Lift] Re: Are we willing to make a breaking change for Joda Time?
I've been thinking a lot about the issue of backwards compatibility, and the trade off with good architecture. I've come to the conclusion that the only real answer is that you have to take each instance on a case by case basis and ask yourself this question: Do you want to write a thunking layer between the better architecture and worse architecture for the next 20 years, and what is that going to cost the sanity of everyone who comes after? I think in this case, given the mind numbingly idiotic date and calendar handling in java, I would answer Dear God, I'd rather dive into a pool filled with double edged razor blades then ever have to deal java.util.Date or Calendar again. I say this because Date and Calendar have been broken since 1.0.1, when I started working with Java. Sun/Oracle obviously has no intention of giving us anything better, so it's up to us to do it. Doing it now, while the existing code base of lift is small, is much better then doing it on down the line. Ideally I'd like to see this abomination fixed at the Scala level, rather then the Lift level, but I'll take my sanity savers where I can.

[Lift] Re: Are we willing to make a breaking change for Joda Time?
On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Derek Chen-Becker dchenbec...@gmail.comwrote: That's pretty much my take. The whole Java Calendar/Date/Timezone impl is poorly designed, hence Joda Time. Now I've run into another wall, this time with the TimeSpanBuilder. I can't mask the implicits from long/int to TimeSpanBuilder, so I can't define the same DSL for things like 3 seconds, etc. I tried to provide an implicit conversion from TimeSpan to JodaSpan but that won't cover all of the cases and this is feeling increasingly ugly as I add more and more layers and implicit defs to work around the old API. At this point, the only way that this may work is if I create and entirely new JodaHelpers object that extends all of the Helpers traits, replacing TimeHelpers with my new JodaTimeHelpers trait. This may be the path of least pain, but it means two cycles of deprecation: one to deprecate the current TimeHelpers in favor of JodaTimeHelpers, and the second to deprecate JodaTimeHelpers back to a refactored/reworked TimeHelpers. Does this sound like a reasonable approach, or is this getting too crazy? The other option I thought of is to make a new branch just for this and just track master with the branch. The big downside is that this doubles the release work to have a Joda Lift and non-Joda Lift. Thoughts? I'm always on the side of less work, and less clutter. What about keeping the old stuff deprecated (and unmaintained) till 1.5 or 2.0, and encouraging the use of the JodaTimeHelpers in the mean time. That gives existing code time to be transitioned to the new stuff..

[Lift] Having trouble understanding SessionVar[Box[MyClass]] and how to use it.
Here's a snippet:
object parentOrganization extends SessionVar[Box[Organization]](Empty)
def create(xhtml: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = {
var name: String =
def processAdd() = {
if (name.isEmpty)
S.error(Please provide a name)
else {
val organization = new Organization()
organization.setName(name)
organization.addPartyRole(new ParentOrganization());
organization.addPartyRole(new InternalOrganization());
Model.em.getTransaction().begin();
Model.em.persist(organization)
Model.em.getTransaction().commit();
//Now that I've got the parent organization, and it's going to be heavily
used and modified, I'd like easy access to it. So how do I set it?
parentOrganization(organization)
Then once I've set it I should be able to do something like:
org match {
case Empty=S.redirectTo(/eeek)
case Full = full.is.getName() //To access the underlying organizatino
object I think
}
I think but it's not working like I thought. If someone could give the
right code, and an explanation of what's going on, I'd appreciate it!

[Lift] Re: Need two classes to inherit from one model, database design and view issues
On Oct 2, 7:55 pm, Dave davidtgoldb...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all- I posted this on stackoverflow but I figure its probably relevant here too. I checked out the post with David and Steve Yen corresponding but I am still at a loss and am curious if any progress has been made in this direction. So, here goes. I am creating a website which will need two types of users: students and providers. In a traditional java setting I would create a user class (or interface) and then create two classes which inherited from the user. Is this the best course in scala too, using the extends and with modifiers? If that is indeed the best way (which I suspect it is), what the best way to map this in the DB? Would it be best to keep a type column and then have it set to one or the other? Etc. A student is not a kind of user, nor is a provider. They are roles that a user plays in your system. While your business rules may state that this is not possible, it is possible in the real world. That's what's best to model, since business rules can change quite easily. I can even make an argument that Person has user as role, and that there are two types of users. The second question is how to work with the view. The display will be very different depending on which type of user one is and so I figure there will be some serious routing logic involved or at least logic built into snippets in the view. Why not use 3 directories, one for common stuff, one for the provider and one for the student. Reduces the number of if statements that way. I guess the overarching question is: Is there a preferred way to go about doing this (like a recipe in rails or some such), or am I kind of out on my own?

I think it is a system that is easy to start with but I became nervous about recurring issues about scaling, the integration of Rails and Merb and had the idea, maybe wrong, that it was a system too much in transition. I read part of the tutorial of Lift, installed it on my computer using Maven, but in a way I got lost. Then I partially read a book about Wicket. I like the system very much, especially one trick exited me: the Ajaxfallbacklink in which a link worked in a simple way when javasript is disabled , but at the same time has some Ajax functionality when Javascript is enabled on the users system. I liked this feature very much, but the integration with a database is not an integral part of the Wicket-system and can be acquired via a Wicket-Spring-Hibernate combination. This seemed too much for me to get into as a starter. That's how I came back to Lift. I need a stable database-connection. You need one when you hope that people will be paying some, even small, amount of money for your service. Can you clarify: Is this going to be a site, or a back end to a mobile app that sits on the phone?

Once a user has paid for the service, this number alone should be enough to make the visitior into a valid user. Without needing to log in. I have read the following on:http://demo.liftweb.net/ws t's easy to dispatch incoming HTTP requests. In your Boot class create a PartialFunction that matches a pattern related to the incoming request and then create a short-lived controller to service the request. This code matches all the requests to /webservices/ and assigns the stuff in '' to the variable c. Then the code attempts to find a public method with that name on the controller. If the method exists, it's invoked and Lift processes the result. I assume I will have to write my own public method and place it where??? in the direcory webservices.? Maven didn't include such a directory in my project set-up, so I assume this webservices are on an external server and that I will have torefer to
