No sweat, Derek. Just didn't want to do it that way and then find out that there was a better way. Thanks, Chas. BTW, I have four sites online right now -- either in beta testing or fully in production -- based on the Lift/JPA code. So thank you very much. Two more on the way. Derek Chen-Bec

David, Since I am really interested in view/logic separation, I focused on sections 1.5 and 1.6. My overall feedback is that I really like starting with the example and following up with the philosophy. Also, you accomplished the goal of telling the reader how the separation is accomplished as

The most recent thing would be what's in the example JPA Demo site. I have making an archetype on my todo list but it will probably be a while before I get that done, sorry :( Derek On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 11:49 PM, Charles F. Munat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a Maven archetype for ge

[Lift] a simple screencast for making a sample app

2008-12-08 Thread Matt Harrington
I made a little screencast about creating a sample "lift-archetype-basic" application. I hadn't made a screencast before, and it was actually trickier than I thought it'd be. It's challenging to read from a script and work at the terminal at the same time. It's mostly about installing Maven, an
