Hi there again, Please keep discussions strictly on list - its the only way for everyone to benefit from the conversation we have and interject where they feel they want to. This means you get more input from more sources and doesn't mail people directly (my personal preference).
If your interested in how one uploads a file in Lift, checkout the sample application here: http://to.ly/jtz Do you have any experience of developing with Java? Which would you rather, save to database, or save to file? The impl is quite different for each. Cheers, Tim > On 13/07/2009 16:20, "kjetilge" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks.
