[Lift] Re: PayPal stuff
Hey Chas,
Nice work, Dave and Tim.
Thanks :-)
Here's a question that just popped into my head: How do you test this
code without moving money around? How will I know my installation will
work? Is there a way to fake it?
But of course - paypal provide a sandbox. Dont be fooled, this is a
live system, and can take money from your card so paypal provide a
bunch of dummy card numbers to use whilst testing. I recently read an
article where a guy had put in his real card on paypal sandbox and it
took like 1000 bucks from his account (so you've been warned!)
To use the sandbox, do something like:
// USING PDT
// YourSnippet.scala
PaypalDataTransfer(at, tx, PaypalSandbox, PaypalSSL) // = use the
sandbox over SSL
PaypalDataTransfer(at, tx, PaypalLive, PaypalSSL) // = use the live
system over SSL
PaypalDataTransfer(at, tx, PaypalSandbox, PaypalHTTP) = use the live
system over HTTP
// USING IPN
// Boot.scala
object Boot {
def boot {
...
// paypal stuff:
LiftRules.statelessDispatchTable = MyPayPalHandler orElse
LiftRules.statelessDispatchTable
}
}
object MyPayPalHandler extends PayPal {
import PaypalTransactionStatus._
override val mode = PaypalLive
override val connection = PaypalHTTP
def actions = {
case (ClearedPayment, info, _) = // write the payment to the
database
case (RefundedPayment, info, _) = // process refund
}
}
So, to answer your question, the key to all this are the sealed types
PaypalMode, and PaypalConnection - then its just down to you to make
sure that you dont use your actual credit card in the sandbox ;-)
Make sense?
Cheers
Tim

Actually, as another note, if your thinking about using Paypal, then please read this article: http://www.pdncommunity.com/pdn/board/message?board.id=basicpaymentsmessage.id=368 Given the framework we've supplied, its a simple process to implement both IPN and PDT which give you the safest and most reliable payment verification.

[Lift] Re: Scala+Lift Philosophical Question

I understand if you are creating applications for your own business or personal use, but what about employee or consulting work (if any). I'm currently a one man consultant and would like to do more work with Scala and Lift but it seems high risk for my client to have an application built with newer and practically unknown technologies like these. Any thoughts? I force all my clients to use Lift and Scala. :-) My experience with bringing other people onto Lift and Scala projects is pretty positive. Anyone who is polyglot (speaks Java + Ruby, C# + Java, Ruby + JavaScript, etc.) seems to be just fine with Scala. The folks who only speak Java seem not to do so well with Scala. Lift requires throwing away some assumptions... but so does Rails, TurboGears, etc. But, once you get into the Lift paradigm, you should be very productive. So... what are the risks to your client? - You get hit by a bus? Arrange with Tyler or me or Viktor or someone else on the list to be your backup. I'm the backup for a number of Scala projects. I get one call saying If so and so disappears, can you take over the project? and that's that. In 18 months of saying I'll be the backup I've never been called on. - You have to bring other people onto the project? It's not different than any other project with a new framework. There's little risk in choose Ruby or Grails... there's a similar low risk with choosing Lift. Folks in the SAP community chose Lift for the ESME project. If they're doing Lift and Scala, why should your client worry? The folks at Twitter love Scala and say so publicly. If the hipster Web 2.0 folks are using Scala, you gotta figure there'll be a bunch of Scala lovers popping up in Web 2.0 land. My biased thoughts.

[Lift] binding nested groups
I have a group of links that are assigned to categories. I want to pull the links and categories down and output them like this: Category A Link 1 Link 2 Category B Link 3 ... Is there a way to do this with bind, or should I just build the XHTML in the snippet? Thanks!
