Thanks! The hosting experience is quite good - since it just results in a WAR, I was able to drop it onto my dedicated server that runs a single Tomcat instance with a bunch of Grails and plain Java web apps. It only took a few minutes to setup and deploy. I really thought it would be fun to host it on Google's App Engine, and I even had a Lift + JPA app working on there just fine, but I decided I really wanted to leverage the authentication features in Mapper and that prevented me from sticking with GAE.
The one problem I did run into was getting the Mailer to work properly. In development, I just set the system properties needed to connect to google apps for sending mail in the Boot class and didn't think anything of it. Then when I went to deploy, I realized that Tomcat's security policy wouldn't let me set those properties and it would be a bad idea anyway since those would be shared across all apps. Fortunately, none of my other apps do anything with email so I just set the properties in Tomcat's configuration and it worked fine, but Mailer in the lift-util package really needs to be modified to be able to use a jndi-based JavaMail session and/or ad-hoc configuration instead of always relying on the system properties. Hopefully I can get some time this weekend to work on that and submit a patch. - Spencer On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 1:40 AM, DFectuoso <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Just joining the crowd saying Kudos!
