[Lift] Re: Workaround for Null pointer exception

2008-10-13 Thread Tim Perrett
Yes.  It's not just to avoid the NPE, but it's to control state.  IO is external, mutable state.  I has to be treated very cautiously and deliberately. Sounds like good advice. Ok cool, I'll work toward this over the next couple of days with an aim to commit at the end of the week. Also,

[Lift] Updates to sitemap.Loc

2008-10-13 Thread David Pollak
Folks, I'm made a ton of updates to sitemap.Loc. If you're using sitemap generically, these changes will not impact you. However, there are a bunch of new features: - Loc is type-safe in terms of parameters... they're not just name-value pairs - Links and Text for a given Loc can be

[Lift] Menu Builder active element

2008-10-13 Thread Bjarte S. Karlsen
Helo list, Playing around with implementing a already existing design as a lift template. The menu of this design requires some way of knowing the menu li element that is the active page. Currently Menu.builder puts to id=current on the a tag and not on the li tag. Is this hard to fix? Or

[Lift] Configuring a lift webapp for https?

2008-10-13 Thread Kris Nuttycombe
Hi, all, I was just trying to figure out how to configure a Lift webapp to use Java EE container-based security. Since Lift runs as a servlet filter, I'm not sure how to configure the web.xml file since security-role-ref is a member of the servlet tag. Has anyone done this yet? If not, is there

I thought I did (I even blew away .m2), but I guess not because after blowing away the repository it seems to be working. I'm very tired, so I probably missed it. Sorry for the false alarm. Chas. David Pollak wrote: Please always do a mvn clean after doing a pull. Charles F. Munat wrote:

Derek, this is fantastic (and confirms a lot of guesses on my part). I'll read the docs and will get back to you. I'm definitely using JPA/Hibernate in several large projects I'm working on right now (and need to get online ASAP), so I'll help out in any way I can. (Warning: I still do not
