[Lift] rest service
Hi, What is the best way to create a rest service in lift that support both xml and json. Are there any tools to use besides lift-json. The end result of my service call will be a pojo object that is grabbed from a database and should be transformed to the appropriate output. I hoped to do that in a generic way, whether it is xml, json or something third Best Regards Niels -- BinaryConstructors ApS Vestergade 10a, 4th 1456 Kbh K Denmark phone: +4528138757 web: http://www.binaryconstructors.dk mail: n...@binaryconstructors.dk skype: nielsboldt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

Not sure what your main problem (REST api part or obj-response) is but:
The API part goes something like this:
LiftRules.dispatch.append {
case Req(api :: thing :: Nil, json, GetRequest) = // function that
returns a Box[LiftResponse]
}
so you can create different functions based on the request suffix (ie
json/xml) and return appropriate responses.
The Lift ORM, Mapper, recently got an asJSON method to return contents of
an object as JSON (it uses lift-json).
I'm not aware of any Scala/Lift generic XML serialization stuff, but you
can use any Java lib for this. For one-off XML structures, it's very
simple to create the XML inline in Scala

HarryH posted some very interesting REST services stuff in his Lift preso (I
learned a thing or two):
