Just my two pence, but right now I understand these things are possible with ViewDispatchPF and SnippetDispatchPF etc etc and all the other tools we have in lift for creating modular view and logic code.
However, the one thing I would say is that a lot of people appear to struggle with the particulars of how the hell one goes about creating a plugin / module / component – this must mean we are not doing something right... Even if it is just in communication of these things to the community as a whole. @dpp I know you mentioned you were going to make me a sample (re this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb/browse_thread/thread/932a730659975d0d ) I know its a big ask, but any chance you could bash something out that the community can consume and regurgitate some proper documentation / tutorial on? (perhaps I could scala-blog it or similar) Cheers, Tim On Apr 2, 4:34 pm, David Pollak <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 7:30 AM, Josh Suereth <[email protected]>wrote: > > > My resources are pretty limited, but I'd love to at least contribute what I > > can to the OSGi support.
