[Lift] Automatic compiilation fails with lift-archetype-basic 2.0-M1 in Eclipse
I just started a new Lift project in Eclipse using the latest basic archetype and I keep getting a slew of validation errors whenever I add or edit a Scala source file. The only way to rid the project of these errors is to do a Project/Clean..., which is really annoying and greatly slows development. Is anyone else experiencing same? By the way, I'm using Eclipse 3.5.1, Eclipse maven ide (Maven Integration for Eclipse) and the Scala Eclipse plugin from http://www.scala-lang.org/scala-eclipse-plugin. I tested that the Maven integration and the scala plugin are working OK independently, so they are not the problem.

[Lift] Error saving Mapper object
I started a new 1.1-Snapshot and am now getting the following error
when trying to save a mapper object:
Message: net.liftweb.mapper.MapperException: Cannot test the
MetaMapper singleton for saved status
net.liftweb.mapper.MetaMapper$class.saved_$qmark(MetaMapper.scala:
550)
net.liftweb.coreguard.model.test.saved_$qmark(test.scala:28)
...
My mapper is simple. It's just a test object:
object test extends test with LongKeyedMetaMapper[test]{
}
class test extends LongKeyedMapper[test] with IdPK with
LongKeyedMetaMapper[test] with CRUDify[Long,test] {
def getSingleton = test
object name extends MappedString(this, 100){
override def displayName = test name
}
}
Thanks in advance for any help to resolve this.

[Lift] 1.1-M7 basic archetype errors
The 1.1-M7 basic archetype in http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots doesn't have a dependency on lift-json and so compilation fails. Adding this dependency in the pom solves this. Also, shouldn't the pom use the SNAPSHOT repo rather than, or at least in addition to, releases? Glenn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] Re: Mapper - JObject bridge
David,
I couldn't find encodeAsJSON_! on MetaMapper in the Lift source on
github.
Where is this code checked in?
Glenn
On Dec 2, 1:15 pm, David Pollak feeder.of.the.be...@gmail.com wrote:
Folks (HarryH -- this means you),
I've just checked in code on the dpp_issue_213 that does Mapper - JObject
bridging using the awesome lift-json library.
The methods on MetaMapper:
protected def encodeAsJSON_! (toEncode: A): JsonAST.JObject
protected def decodeFromJSON_!(json: JsonAST.JObject): A
Implement the bridge. They are protected and have a _! in their name
because they are *dangerous* in that data can be exposed on the JSON object
that you might not want exposed and these methods should be used with
extreme caution.
An example of usage can be found in the MapperSpecs:
object SampleModel extends SampleModel with KeyedMetaMapper[Long,
SampleModel] {
def encodeAsJson(in: SampleModel): JsonAST.JObject = encodeAsJSON_!(in)
def buildFromJson(json: JsonAST.JObject): SampleModel =
decodeFromJSON_!(json)
}
class SampleModel extends KeyedMapper[Long, SampleModel] {
def getSingleton = SampleModel // what's the meta server
def primaryKeyField = id
object id extends MappedLongIndex(this)
object firstName extends MappedString(this, 32)
object moose extends MappedNullableLong(this)
object notNull extends MappedString(this, 32) {
override def dbNotNull_? = true
}
def encodeAsJson(): JsonAST.JObject = SampleModel.encodeAsJson(this)
}
So, you can use this mechanism to serialize a Mapper object to JSON, shovel
the object into memcached and then pull it out, mutate a field and save the
object back to the database (although connection identifier is lost, so if
you are sharding your database, this will not work).
Please give it a try, give me feedback. I'll put it on review board
tomorrow after any feedback and get it into Lift.
Thanks,
David

[Lift] Re: XSLT?
Jim, I've used a lot of XSLT in the past but have recently taken to Scala's use of XML literals and extraction methods coupled with case matching in place of XSL templates - no need to call into Xerces, Xalan or any other third-party libraries to do this. Glenn On Dec 4, 9:19 am, Jim Wise jw...@draga.com wrote: Had asked this earlier on the scala-users list. It's not (quite) a Lift question, but maybe someone has done something similar? I'm in the process of moving an application currently implemented in Java using Apache Cocoon to Scala and Liftweb. I've had a relatively easy time moving the `plumbing' of the app over -- sessions, users, dynamic content and so on -- but a lot of the app's presentation is, in true cocoon style, implemented as XSLT pipelines on static or generated XML content. In the long term, I see the benefits of moving these to Lift templates, but in a 0.9 version (as it were), it makes a fair amount of sense to use the existing templates, with a lift snippet or view (or even a wrapper function or hook) performing a final XSLT transform on the generated XML. I can see how to hook such a step into Lift's processing, but I also see that Lift has no native support for this (no surprise, as Lift has a full templating system of its own). Before I set about doing this by calling into Xerces and Xalan from Scala (should be easy enough), is there any sample code or Scala API for XSLT transformations already out there?

[Lift] Re: A sensible AJAX approach
David,
Thanks a bunch. Your solution is one I was trying to implement but
wasn't quite
sure how until you showed me that I can create an AnonFunc using
Shtml.ajaxCall.
It certainly does simplify things.
One of the issues that stymied me - and still does, frankly - is how
the ajaxCall wraps the edit function
with the correct parameter for the callback to work.
I updated the code in http://github.com/glennSilverman/treeview and
refactored it into
a MetaMegaTreeItem trait to easily add these features to any Mapper
object. Maybe
some Lift committer might find the ideas involved here usefull enough
to include something
similar in a future release of Lift.

Glenn,
The issue is that you were creating call-back functions during an API call
(rather than as part of Lift's HTML/Ajax/Comet pipeline).
In general, I think this is very bad design. I'd strongly recommend using
the Ajax/Json call facilities built into Lift. You get a pile of things for
free including securing calls (you don't need to keep a lot of state
client-side).
So, your code looks like:
def buildTree(in:NodeSeq):NodeSeq = {
val func = AnonFunc( SHtml.ajaxCall(JsRaw(this.id), (id: String) =
SetHtml(role_edit, Role.find(id).map(edit) openOr
NodeSeq.Empty))._2 )
TreeView(tree, JsObj((persist, location), (toggle, func)),
loadTree, loadNode)
}
Also, you might want to look at S.hostAndPort for calculating the current
server. Also, think about using the map() call rather than pattern matching
on Full/_.
Also, there's no need to register API calls in SiteMap
I'll update your app and push code tohttp://github.com/dpp/treeview

The functions, loadTree and loadNode, are used to asynchronously

The link val creates a URL, for example,

dbTableName/,
where dbTableName is just the Mapper object name.
On the client, the user clicks on a tree item, which, as you can see
from the above code, submits the Mapper id selected to the server,
which then
pulls the Mapper.toForm html from the Mapper instance and returns it
to the client at div id=json_result/, which is in my template.
This all works great.
Where this all breaks down, is in submitting the returned
Mapper.toForm back to the server when I click on the Save button,
because no Mapper instance
exists at that point in the request or session for the save button to
act on.
Somewhere, I'm thinking I have to modify the Mapper.toForm html so the
submit button runs another JavaScript function on the client to return
the Mapper id
to the server for processing. But I haven't yet been able to do this.
One of the problems is that I don't even have an id on the client
(none is returned with Mapper.toForm
html) to work with. And, it seems to me that to make this scenario
work, I'm forced to become a JavaScript guru and work outside of Lift.
In other words, if there isn't
a mechanism in Lift to handle this situation directly, there should
be.
One of the things I've tried is to add a hidden form field to the
Mapper.toForm html,
SHtml.hidden(() = itemIdVar(id.toString)),
where itemIdVar extends RequestVar[String].
But I couldn't make that work either. The hidden form field is suppose
to run the ()=Any function, and it may do that, but not in the correct
sequence to do any good
when the form is submitted.

In the recent thread, a couple people asked for the ability to
create dynamic menu items per request from the database. David
suggested Loc.supplimentalKidMenuItems which works fine for dynamic
children of a static menu, but doesn't support the ability to make
the top level menu dynamic.
Menu has a method called makeMenuItem which gives a Box of
MenuItem. What about a new method makeMenuItems that gives a
possible plurality of MenuItems whose default implementation
deferred to the existing makeMenuItem in the case where it's not
overridden? I made this change to my local copy of lift and it
seems to work alright.
Example Menu:
case class DynMenu() extends Menu(Loc(dynmenu, Link(List
(dynmenu), true, /dynmenu), Dynamic Menu)) {
override def makeMenuItems(path: List[Loc[_]]): Iterable
[MenuItem] =
DynMenuItem.findAll.map(dmi = {
MenuItem(Text(dmi.label.is), Text(dmi.link.is), Nil,
false, false, Nil)
})
}
That is, a Menu can generate 0 or more MenuItems when the menu
is being generated. The disadvantage I see is similar to the one
with supplimentalKidMenuItems -- that is, you have to manually
compute the attributes of MenuItem such as current. However, it
does give you the full power to make whatever kind of menu items
you want.
I looked briefly at seeing if it would be feasible to use a
function Box[Req] = SiteMap on LiftRules, but I think the
RewritePF auto detection thing in LiftRules.setSiteMap prevents
this from being the right thing.

was created. There's no need to do weird RequestVar things with Hidden
fields or anything else. If you've got a function passed to SHtml.text,
submit, etc. that function closes over its local scope: it captures all the
variables it refers to.
So:
def mySnippet = {
val myInstance = MyTable.find(whatever)
SHtml.ajaxCheckbox(..., bool = {myInstance.boolField(bool).save; Noop})
}
In the above code, you've captured the instance in the val myInstance...
that's kept around for the lifespan of the function that you passed to
ajaxCheckbox.
Thanks,
David

I've been following this thread as lately I'm having difficulty with
an ajax-submitted
request in my app. Here's the scenario (There's no simple way to
describe this, so bear with me):
I create a JQuery tree of my data (Mapper object with just an item
name and a parent Mapper object as it's fields) as follows:
def buildTree(in:NodeSeq):NodeSeq = {
object MyJqLoad {
def apply(content: JsExp) = new JsExp with JQueryRight with
JQueryLeft {
def toJsCmd = JqId(json_result).toJsCmd + .load( +
content.toJsCmd + JsRaw(+this.id) + )
}
}
val host = http://; + S.hostName
val link = host + :8080 + S.contextPath + /api/json/ +
dbTableName.toLowerCase + /
val func = AnonFunc( MyJqLoad(link))
TreeView(tree, JsObj((persist, location), (toggle, func)),
loadTree, loadNode)
}
The functions, loadTree and loadNode, are used to asynchronously
build the tree of item names from the Mapper instances.
The link val creates a URL, for example,http://localhost:8080/api/json/
dbTableName/,
where dbTableName is just the Mapper object name.
On the client, the user clicks on a tree item, which, as you can see
from the above code, submits the Mapper id selected to the server,
which then
pulls the Mapper.toForm html from the Mapper instance and returns it
to the client at div id=json_result/, which is in my template.
This all works great.
Where this all breaks down, is in submitting the returned
Mapper.toForm back to the server when I click on the Save button,
because no Mapper instance
exists at that point in the request or session for the save button to
act on.
Somewhere, I'm thinking I have to modify the Mapper.toForm html so the
submit button runs another JavaScript function on the client to return
the Mapper id
to the server for processing. But I haven't yet been able to do this.
One of the problems is that I don't even have an id on the client
(none is returned with Mapper.toForm
html) to work with. And, it seems to me that to make this scenario
work, I'm forced to become a JavaScript guru and work outside of Lift.
In other words, if there isn't
a mechanism in Lift to handle this situation directly, there should
be.
One of the things I've tried is to add a hidden form field to the
Mapper.toForm html,
SHtml.hidden(() = itemIdVar(id.toString)),
where itemIdVar extends RequestVar[String].
But I couldn't make that work either. The hidden form field is suppose
to run the ()=Any function, and it may do that, but not in the correct
sequence to do any good
when the form is submitted.

[Lift] Re: Missing source files in 1.1-SNAPSHOT
You can either use debugging facilities in Eclipse or, as I mostly do, sprinkle a lot of println or Log.info statements around. But coding it right in the first place requires access to Lift source code, and for that I use maven's facility for downloading source jars from the pom. If the source jar isn't complete, or isn't in the maven repository, I'm out of luck.

[Lift] Re: Problem with BlazeDS and LiftFilter 1.0+
David,
(This is a copy of an earlier reply to your Migration Guide post. I
didn't get any response there, so I'm listing it on this
thread since it seems somewhat related to the current discussion)
I attempted to follow your blog piece and rewrite the code in
Integrating Flex, BlazeDS, and Scala/Lift, at http://flexonrails.net/?p=103.
Maybe I'm being a bit ambitious to redo this, but when I run just the
Lift portion (without Flex/BazeDS) and make a call to my LiftActor
implementation, nothing happens. Shouldn't the
messageHandler be called automatically (There is nothing to start,
is there?). It doesn't when I trace through the code. What am I doing
wrong?
Here's my rewrite of Notifier using LiftActor:
class Notifier extends LiftActor{
val msgBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null)
val clientID = UUIDUtils.createUUID()
val msg = new AsyncMessage()
var notificationsSent = 0;
val currentTime = new Date().getTime();
protected def messageHandler = {
case Notify ={
msg.setDestination(notifications)
msg.setClientId(clientID)
msg.setTimestamp(currentTime)
msg.setBody(new Notification(notificationsSent, Hello from
Scala/Lift, new Date()))
msgBroker.routeMessageToService(msg,null)
notificationsSent = 1
}
LAPinger.schedule(this, Notify, 500L)
}
}
case object Notify
class Notification(var id: Int, var message: String, var timesent:
Date){
def getId = id
def setId(id: Int) = this.id = id
def getMessage = message
def setMessage(m: String) = message = m
def getTimesent = timesent
def setTimesent(t: Date) = timesent = t
}
I also have an XMLApiHelper with:
def dispatch: LiftRules.DispatchPF = {
case Req(webservices :: c :: Nil, , GetRequest)= () =
start_feed(c:String)
and start_feed simply calls new Notifiier().
Given this code, the URL: http://localhost:8080/webservices/Notify
successfully calls into
start_feed and creates Notifier but the messageHandler isn't called.
Any help is appreciated?
Thanks,

Lift is evolving. The ModelView code is new in the 1.1 branch and is
getting updated based on user feedback.
I stopped using
Snaptshots because changes kept breaking my code.
Snapshots are the best way to keep up to date with code changes. You'll see
more incremental changes to the APIs if you're on Snapshot than if you move
multiple milestone releases.
I thought I was
somewhat insulated from this problem going to released versions.
Milestones are not releases. They are milestones leading up to the 1.1
release which should happen in a few months.
Now,
with M7 due to be released, what other problems am I going to
face?
There are material breaking changes to Actor-related code as well as moving
Box/Full/Empty from the lift-util to lift-common package.
We document material breaking changes on this list with subjects: **BREAKING
CHANGES** as well as on the new lift-announce list.

[Lift] Re: Compiler errors switching to M6
David,
To follow up. I'd much rather use Snapshots than Milestones. Interim
is interim, and
I prefer to be in lockstep with the most current code base. But
warnings on this
forum notwithstanding, I have found myself in the past spending a lot
of time fixing
unexpected compiler errors, and I fear that sticking with milestones
will just delay the
inevitable.
I know this is a common issue in any development scenario, Lift or
otherwise...and
I don't know of a satsifactory solution.

David,
I understand how to fix the compiler error in my code. Are you
suggesting
I'm better going back to the Snapshots, and taking my chances with
the
many code changes that requires?

I get the following compiler error when switching from M5 to M6
versions of Lift:
..\snippet\ManageUsers.scala:24: error: ManageUsers.this.ModelView
does not take type parameters
val view: ModelView[User] = new UserView(new User, this)
Here's my code to this point:
class UserView(entity:User, snippet:ManageUsers) extends ModelView
[User](entity, snippet){
override val editAction = TheBindParam(edit, snippet.link(edit,
()=load, Text(S?(Edit Roles
}
class ManageUsers extends ModelSnippet[User]{
val view: ModelView[Userr] = new UserView(new User, this)
...
}
My question is two-fold:
1) What is the fix for this error?
2) What ever happened to backwards compatibility?
Lift is evolving. The ModelView code is new in the 1.1 branch and is
getting updated based on user feedback.
I stopped using
Snaptshots because changes kept breaking my code.
Snapshots are the best way to keep up to date with code changes. You'll see
more incremental changes to the APIs if you're on Snapshot than if you move
multiple milestone releases.
I thought I was
somewhat insulated from this problem going to released versions.
Milestones are not releases. They are milestones leading up to the 1.1
release which should happen in a few months.
Now,
with M7 due to be released, what other problems am I going to
face?
There are material breaking changes to Actor-related code as well as moving
Box/Full/Empty from the lift-util to lift-common package.
We document material breaking changes on this list with subjects: **BREAKING
CHANGES** as well as on the new lift-announce list.

[Lift] Re: **Important** Migration guide Scala Actors - Lift Actors
David,
I attempted to follow your blog piece and rewrite the code in
Integrating Flex, BlazeDS, and Scala/Lift, at http://flexonrails.net/?p=103.
Maybe I'm being a bit ambitious to redo this, but when I run just the
Lift portion (without Flex/BazeDS) and make a call to my LiftActor
implementation, nothing happens. Shouldn't the
messageHandler be called automatically (There is nothing to start,
is there?). It doesn't when I trace through the code. What am I doing
wrong?
Here's my rewrite of Notifier using LiftActor:
class Notifier extends LiftActor{
val msgBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null)
val clientID = UUIDUtils.createUUID()
val msg = new AsyncMessage()
var notificationsSent = 0;
val currentTime = new Date().getTime();
protected def messageHandler = {
case Notify ={
msg.setDestination(notifications)
msg.setClientId(clientID)
msg.setTimestamp(currentTime)
msg.setBody(new Notification(notificationsSent, Hello from
Scala/Lift, new Date()))
msgBroker.routeMessageToService(msg,null)
notificationsSent = 1
}
LAPinger.schedule(this, Notify, 500L)
}
}
case object Notify
class Notification(var id: Int, var message: String, var timesent:
Date){
def getId = id
def setId(id: Int) = this.id = id
def getMessage = message
def setMessage(m: String) = message = m
def getTimesent = timesent
def setTimesent(t: Date) = timesent = t
}
I also have an XMLApiHelper with:
def dispatch: LiftRules.DispatchPF = {
case Req(webservices :: c :: Nil, , GetRequest)= () =
start_feed(c:String)
and start_feed simply calls new Notifiier().
Given this code, the URL: http://localhost:8080/webservices/Notify
successfully calls into
start_feed and creates Notifier but the messageHandler isn't called.
Any help is appreciated?
Thanks,
Glenn

[Lift] Re: How to create an rss?
I don't know if this will help, but I use a simple createTag to just
enclose the full xml so it has a root element:
def createTag(in: NodeSeq) = {
apbul_apii{in}/apbul_api
}
and then showArticles would call into a feed wrapper, passing in the
result of yield, like this for an Atom feed:
//Reacts to Get all reguest
def showArticles():AtomResponse = {
val eList = for(e - Content.findAll) yield {
e.toAtom
}
AtomResponse(feedWrapper(eList))
}

obviously the yield into the definition of showArticles method break

[Lift] Having trouble with form submission when using JavaScript to fetch the template
My JavaScript/JQuery programming is weak and I'm not sure how to
explain the issue I'm having, but here goes...
I have a simple template for editing and saving changes to a Mapper
object:
def edit(item: ModelType) =
form
{item.toForm(Full(Save), { _.save })}
/form
When I use a snippet to display the template on my page, the Save
submit button works fine. However,
when I grap the template from JavaScript on the client, using a
function like:
$('#show-form').load('/http:localhost:8080/getform');
the Save button doesn't work. Changes made on the form don't get
saved. Here, the URL in load is intercepted
in a dispatch rule that simply calls a function that gets the Mapper
object from the DB and returns the template in a LiftResponse, like
so:
Full(CreatedResponse(edit(foundItem), text/xml))
Is the problem with JavaScript in this case or is there something in
the dispatch rule that I'm failing to do?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[Lift] Re: Having trouble with form submission when using JavaScript to fetch the template
If it helps, the HTML produced is identical, regardless of how the
template
is fetched. So this might suggest there is a problem with Request
state regarding
the Mapper object, but I don't understand why that should be so.

This is off topic, but you always are a help. Your

resolves issues I'm

avenues
I haven't thought of. At the very least, you force me to reframe many

More broadly, the JavaScript stuff in Lift is not magic. It's just a bunch

AnonFunc(JqId(item-save) JqEmptyAfter(div{JsRaw(this.id)} was
toggled/div))
AnonFunc(JqId(item-save) JqEmptyAfter(div{this.id} was
toggled/div))
No reason to promote this.id into some JavaScript thing. It's part of
the
XML literal. The XML literal is generated server-side as part of the
JavaScript function.
but nothing seems to work. It just treats this.id as ordinary text,
not as a Javascript variable.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Lift] Help with using JSExp and JsCmd traits
I'd like to converting the following
JsRaw(function() $('#item-save').html(this.id + ' was

into something more object-oriented, using JQuery support functions in
Lift.

[Lift] Re: Help with using JSExp and JsCmd traits
Hi, Ross,
Unfornately, all of these just result in:
function() {jQuery('#'+item-save).empty().after(divthis.id was
toggled/div);}
They simply treat this.id as part of the passed in NodeSeq,
divthis.id was toggled/div. I need it
to output divthis.id + was toggled/div.

[Lift] Re: Help with using JSExp and JsCmd traits
Ross,
I think you and I came to same conclusion. Writing it as raw
JavaScript, as I
did initially, seems the only way I could find to do this. FYI, where
I was using this
was with the TreeView widget. There, toggle takes an anonymous
function, and
this is an implicit parameter, denoting the Tree selected.
val func = JsRaw(function() $('#item-save').html(this.id + ' was
toggled'))
TreeView(tree, JsObj((persist, location),(toggle, func)),
loadTree, loadNode)
I was hoping for a more functional way to write func, in order to do
more complex processing on the client.

Oh I'm sorry, I got tunnel vision and did not read the rest of your
code. You'll not be able to do quite what you want, since this.id is
on the javascript side and the NodeSeq is on the server side.
If you really want this.id within that div, I think you'll have to
construct or modify the div on the JS side. I rummaged through the
Lift jQuery docs and I couldn't find something that will append/inject
to a JQueryLeft (such as JqId) but using a JsExp and not a fixed
NodeSeq. This is not to say there isn't such a thing, just that I
couldn't find it. Of course, you can whip this up using the lower
level javascript stuff:
AnonFunc(JqId(item-save) ~
JsFunc(empty) ~
JsFunc(after, Call(jQuery, div was toggled/div) ~
JsFunc(prepend, JsVar(this, id
Of course, at that point I'd just say it might be a better idea to
write the JavaScript directly, since this expands to
$(#item-save).empty().after($(div was toggled/div).prepend
(this.id));

[Lift] Re: How can I replace SHtml.a with a Loc
David,
In this case, I was trying to see if there was a way to use the
standard Lift
menu generator to create a link with a callback for ajax handling,
similar to SHtml.a.
I don't know about menu generation from SiteMap. Perhaps that's what I
really
need. What would that look like?

Sorry... didn't quite understand.
Are you using your own menu generator or the standard Lift menu generator?
I'm thinking that we have to uniquely identify (put a knowable id on) each
a href that is generated. If you're doing your own menu generation from
SiteMap, you can probably get your code to work by using the name of the Loc
as the id. If you're using the standard Lift Menu snippet to create your
menus, you'll have to open a ticket, I'll prioritize the ticket, then we'll
wait for review board and then you'll get your change.

[Lift] Using Mapper to model entity hierarchies
In the interest of sharing ideas with the larger Lift community, I
found myself creating many different mapper classes to model a
hierarchy of entities best viewed in a tree, such as roles, tags and
navigation links. To reduce code duplication, and to try to better
understand Mapper classes, I went about creating a tree item mapper
trait and its companion meta mapper object.
I defined the item mapper as:
trait MegaTreeItem[T : MegaTreeItem[T]] extends KeyedMapper[Long, T]
{ .. }
which has a parent (owner) metamapper object of type T, an itemName
MappedString and some useful, though not an exhaustive number of
functions.
and the meta mapper
trait MetaMegaTreeItem[ModelType : MegaTreeItem[ModelType]] extends
KeyedMetaMapper[Long, ModelType] {..}
which contains menu Locs and template/snippet functions for list and
tree table display.
So, creating a tag mapper is a cinch:
object Tag extends Tag with MetaMegaTreeItem[Tag] {
}
class Tag extends MegaTreeItem[Tag]{
def getSingleton = Tag
def owner = Tag
}
I'm still mystified about the workings of Mappers and MetaMappers and
why creating new mapper traits has to be so wordy (maybe not, if I
understood better), but this does do the job.
You can see the code and all of this actually functioning (Yeah!), by
grabbing it on github, at
http://github.com/glennSilverman/democritus
Disclaimer: I could not get the tree table to work in IE 8. I think
it's a problem with the JQuery javascript. It works
great in Firefox, however.

[Lift] Code Plugability in Lift
Forgive me. I'm bringing up the subject of modularization in Lift under a new heading, but the last discussion was, sadly, all over the map and only served to emphasize the problem. So let me narrow it down, a bit, here, and ask: How is it possible to create two different snippet implementations, or two different models, one JPA and one not, or one using the mapper framework and another the record, and replace one with the other without having to recompile the application? We're not talking here about interface design - you still have to deal with boot. And traits, as has been suggested by others...well, you'd better not expose them to the world outside your implementation, as any changes would require recompilation. In other words, you can't really use traits for your interface. To use Lift in the enterprise does require that teams be able to work independently, doesn't it.

Does this mean you could write an entity class, like so:
class User(val firstName: String, val lastName: String, val userName:
String, val email: String, val password: String) with myTrait {...}
and it would be useable in either a JPA or mapper or record
implementation?
That would be the ticket.

[Lift] Re: Using Roles and LIftRules.authentication
Marius,
With your help, I think I'm getting closer to understanding what is
needed
here.
One thing though, is that I believe I do need to manually check if the
user has the
appropriate role (in the DB) before I can set userRoles RequestVar.
See, in my application,
I have no way of knowing in advance if a logged-in user is authorized
to access
a particular resource. I'm trying to accomplish that programatically.
And, don't forget, roles
can be changed at any time in the application. In other words, I
can't just assume it in my
authentication function and make the assignment there.
Does that make sense? This is not to say that I can't work
tangentially to Http basic authentication
in Lift and create my own, just that I'm trying to incorporate the
work already done so I don't have to.

Don't worry glen.
I understand I can protect the resource as you suggest from all

HttpAuthProtected(() = Full(AuthRole(admin) .
Now, when I click on the link, if no user is logged in, the system
asks for a username and password to connect, but that's a user
on the host. not an application user.
Not necessarily. It is any type of user. In your authentication
function you can go in DB and validate the receiving credentials as
application user.
Somewhere, I need to assign the
currently logged in user the AuthRole(admin) needed to access
the resource.
Correct. And you dothis by setting userRoles RequestVar.
Seems to me I need code like this to run someplace:
def authorize(roleName:String): Box[Role] = {
object userRoles extends RequestVar[Role](null)
val credentials : (String,String) = User.currentUser match {
case Full(u) = (u.email.is, u.password.is)
case Empty = (null, null)

User.isa_?(roleName) match {

Full(new _root_.net.liftweb.http.auth.Role{
def name = roleName})
}

No you do not. Lift takes care of the roles matching for you. You
don't need to manually test if a user is-an admin or some other role
in order to access that resource. Please keep in mind that is just for
accessing resources (URI-s) if you need to do more complex logic in
your code and see if the user is an admin or having some other Role
that you'd probably need to save the Role into a SessionVar or into
your User object.
All I want here is to explain how HTTP based authentication and roles
based authorization works. I am definitely not claiming that this is
enough for all applications as currently we don't have HTTP based
authentication with forms for example ... but I think we should add
that as well.

[Lift] Re: Using Roles and LIftRules.authentication
Tim,
You are right. Protecting resources and menu items is well documented
in Lift. But providing read/write permissions, and even restricting
access to
specific data entities based on a subject's role, if that's what you
mean by
more granularity, is often a required use case in an application.
Dividing up read-only views and editable templates into different
resources helps. And limiting data access is certainly doable. It
would just
be nice to centralize some of these features, and that's what I'm
trying achieve in my
code.

Your code is verbose but I don't see the justification for this
verbosity:
LiftRules.authentication = HttpBasicAuthentication(lift) {
case (username, password, req) = {
// Do you authentication in DB or whatever and you
determined that this is an admin user
userRoles(AuthRole(admin)) // userRoles needs to be
set. It is a RquestVar.
true
}
In Boot you have:
Menu(Loc(listContents, List(listContents), listContents,
HttpAuthProtected(() = Full(AuthRole(admin)
When you use HttpAuthProtected LocParam Lift appends a function to
LiftRules.httpAuthProtectedResource so you don't need to do it
manually.
This authorixation scheme is only about protecting resource by roles
and you do this almost declaratively and for authentication I thing
the things are pretty straight forward. One a user is authenticated
(using HTTP authentication) you need to specify the Role for this user
and you do this using userRoles RequestVar.Thus /listContents can only
be accessed if:
1. user passed authentications
2. user's Role is an admin or a child of the Role specified in
HttpAuthProtected

Log.info(You are now authenticated !)
userRoles(AuthRole(admin))
true
}
}
When we try to access /secure-basic resource HTTP basic auth. is
applied. If
credentials are correct we set the AuthRole as admin on the
Requestvar
userRoles. If we would have set another role such as userRoles
(AuthRole
(guest)) the resource would still not be served as guest has nothing
to do with
an admin. The lift-book describes the rules of Roles application.
All this has nothing to do with Mapper or Record etc. it is purely
about HTTP authentication and a simple authorization mechanism

[Lift] Re: Using Roles and LIftRules.authentication
Tim, I tend to agree with you that the Role trait is not a good mixin for a role mapper, which is why I raise the question. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but the http-authentication example in liftweb.sites on github doesn't have much code. The LiftBook is a more complete example. And neither deals with useage of the Role trait, nor with persisting authorization info. Is there some other example I should be looking at? On the issue of dynamic auth, the examples I've seen all run in Boot which leaves open the question of how to manage the same thing on the fly, so to speak, not that it can't be done. You guys have done too good a job on Lift to have overlooked that. Glenn...

Actually, I kind of like the ability to fix MappedField styles in the
object itself
for some situations, rather than add them in for each view, so I
changed
my util function to:
def addElemClass(in: Node, name:String, value:String): Box[Elem] = in
match {
case e: Elem = Full(e % new UnprefixedAttribute(name, Text
(value), Null))
case _ = Empty
}
I'm sure it's not the prettiest way to do this. But it does work.

David,
Besides the very detailed discussion here about the problems of Boot
initialization
and the immutability of sitemap and liftrules, that strikes me as a
sufficient
barrier to real modularization.
Are you talking about modularization of web apps? Are you talking about
being able to plop in a JAR file and do one or two bits of configuration
and have that JAR's features be part of your app? If you are, with the
exception of the where do my menu items go issue, as long as you can do
the configuration in Boot, Lift allows for fully modular apps.
Rather than complaining the Lift doesn't offer what you need, please define
what you need in very specific terms (I need to intercept a GET request to a
URL, I need to intercept requests to a URL if certain conditions are met, I
need to include a tag in view code that invokes code in my module, etc.) or
point to another framework that allows for this plugin modularization.
I hadn't thought about turning
reuseable code into
traits and assigning those around in jar files until you mentioned it.
Not a bad idea.
But I wouldn't feel comfortable incorporating third-party traits in my
code unless
I had the source to fall back on.
Why are traits any different than objects that you subclass? As far as I
can tell, traits simply give you nearly multiple inheritance without the
headaches. Why would you be any less willing to mix in a trait than to
subclass a class provided by another library?
Example of poor encapsulation - just the fact that you can encapsulate
snippets and templates. Without the
source, how can a user ever hope to incorporate those.
I think that snippets are a near perfect encapsulation mechanism. They are
simply a transformation of XHTML - XHTML. What could be more straight
forward? What could be more encapsulated? Further, Lift's mechanism of
associating HTML elements with functions means that there's no need to have
special URLs to handle forms or anything else. My snippet can generate a
form that will be processed if it is submitted back to the server, no matter
what URL the form is submitted to. In Rails and other MVC frameworks, the
POST/GET must be done to a specific controller in order for the parameters
to be correctly processed. Why does this matter?
Well, in the ESME codebase, I just created an authentication plugin
mechanism that allows a plugin to define a part of a form that is to be
filled in as part of the signup process. The signup process doesn't know
anything about the plugin or what fields the plugin needs. The snippet that
handles the signup simply binds one element to the plugins part of the
sign-up. The plugin manages its own portion of the form, manages its own
validation, manages its own saving, all without having to register as being
part of the controller. This is highly modular.
And then, to
make them private, which is done...that's turning
a headache into a nightmare.
Can you give me an example of a private snippet or a private template and
how you would use one?
Yeah, as long as you work at the source-level, there is no problem.
But that, in-and-of itself, is the problem. As you
suggest, some, as yet unilluminated patterns, would be most helpful.
If I understood what you were trying to do, I could help you with patterns.
Code works best for me. If you could put together templates and stubbed
Scala and make clear what you're trying to do and what Lift is not letting
you do, I could help you out.

David

I typically return my menu items from my init function. You can call

As for templates, I've learned that you can use the templating

MyLib.init
In the boot file of a new application and then everything wires up - I
couldn't think of anything more straightforward?
The vast majority of stuff in lift is done with PF's, so you can
pretty much just write them in external jars, and import them - my 3rd
part stuff usually has a lift-webkit dependency so that I can just do
the LiftRules.disptach.append stuff directly in the init method, but
its really no biggy and saves boilerplate.
So given your example, this scheme should work right?

[Lift] Re: Modularization of Lift code
David,
Besides the very detailed discussion here about the problems of Boot
initialization
and the immutability of sitemap and liftrules, that strikes me as a
sufficient
barrier to real modularization. I hadn't thought about turning
reuseable code into
traits and assigning those around in jar files until you mentioned it.
Not a bad idea.
But I wouldn't feel comfortable incorporating third-party traits in my
code unless
I had the source to fall back on.
Example of poor encapsulation - just the fact that you can encapsulate
snippets and templates. Without the
source, how can a user ever hope to incorporate those. And then, to
make them private, which is done...that's turning
a headache into a nightmare.
Yeah, as long as you work at the source-level, there is no problem.
But that, in-and-of itself, is the problem. As you
suggest, some, as yet unilluminated patterns, would be most helpful.

David,
Returning menu items from your init function is OK, but forces the

I don't understand... what function call order are you talking about? The

, or be forced to glean
it from
the source, which he should not be required to do.
Putting code such as this, instead, in your init function helps, but
does not eliminate that problem.
What particular problem?
val sitemap = LiftRules.siteMap match {
case Full(sm) = LiftRules.setSiteMap(SiteMap(sm.menus :::
Role.menus:_* ))
case _ = LiftRules.setSiteMap(SiteMap(Role.menus:_*))
}
Where are you proposing to put this code?
With it, you can sort of standardize your call-order, requiring that
the init function
be called immediately before
Just to be precise, init() is a method on your module. It's not a function.
S.addAround(DB.buildLoanWrapper)
in Boot,scala.
But, there is a larger issue at stake here, I fear, and that is that
true modularization
requires adherence to rules of encapsulation and complete
documentation, two things
that are problematic in Scala code (perhaps due to its power and
complexity), unlike pure OOP.
Ummm... as far as I know, Scala is a pure OO language. Everything in Scala
is either the instance of a class (and object, but object is overloaded with
Scala's use of it as a keyword for singleton) or a method. There is nothing
else in Scala. In this way, Scala is like Smalltalk and Ruby. It's not
like Java where things exist in Java that are neither an instance nor a
method (static methods, primitive types, etc.)
There is nothing that we can't do in Scala to encapsulate anything... the
issue that I see is what do you want to encapsulate?
When I've written before on this subject in this group, I've gotten a
lot of examples in the small
purporting to dispute my contention, but falling short. If you know
I'm wrong, fine ... let's see it.
If you just think I am, well...think harder.
Let's separate Lift from Scala the language for a moment. I'm no expert in
PLT so I'm not going to argue encapsulation in Scala.
I can argue about Lift's modularization and what its limitations are.
The following things in Lift I know to be non-modular:
- Mapper: because one cannot subclass Mapper definitions, it's not really
modular. Yes, I've built (and subclassed) ProtoUser, but it's a huge hack
and anything serious (e.g., subclassing an existing mapper and *changing*
the behavior of one on the fields) is not doable with Mapper. This is
basically because I've never meant Mapper to be a serious OR mapping tool,
but more of an ActiveRecord clone where you can create a mapping between an
RDBMS and some sort of record. I use Mapper very successfully, but it's
not meant for the same things OO is meant for (subclassing) or what Mixins
are meant for.
- SiteMap: SiteMap is frozen at boot time. This means that OSGi modules
can't load and unload themselves and mutate the sitemap. Because the
sitemap is fixed at boot time, it's also not possible for a module to
insert
menu items at an appropriate place in the menu hierarchy.
- LiftRules: like SiteMap, the LiftRules are fixed at boot time. It's
not possible for modules to load/unload dynamically and change the various
PFs dynamically.
I have a plan for fixing the LiftRules stuff so we can fully support OSGi
modules. I will likely extend that to supporting more dynamic sitemaps.
More broadly, every time I've had Scala code that's concrete and needed to
be made more runtime dynamic, the process has been simple, quick, and
painless. Breaking classes into traits and composing those traits into
different runtime configurations has by and large been a few minute to few
hour project. Yeah
[Lift] Re: Modularization of Lift code
Timothy, I'm still not convinced that Lift applications can be modularized as simply as you suggest. Do you have any samples of your MyLib.init? How do you handle the non- PF's, like schemify and setSiteMap? As for templates, I've learned that you can use the templating mechanism in Loc to eliminate the need for html files, but that's only a small part of the problem. Glenn...

I actually do a lot of this - we have a product at work and i've just written a bunch of abstractions for work which just require me to do: MyLib.init In the boot file of a new application and then everything wires up - I couldn't think of anything more straightforward? The vast majority of stuff in lift is done with PF's, so you can pretty much just write them in external jars, and import them - my 3rd part stuff usually has a lift-webkit dependency so that I can just do the LiftRules.disptach.append stuff directly in the init method, but its really no biggy and saves boilerplate. So given your example, this scheme should work right?

It's pretty simple to use. You're mapper should extend ManyToMany, and you
should have a field:
object m2m extends MappedManyToMany(.../*the two MetaMappers and foreign
keys, see the docs/source*/)
Then you can treat m2m as a Buffer, adding and deleting children. Call save
on the mapper or m2m to propogate the adding/deleting to the database, and
refresh to reset its contents to reflect the database.
However, as noted currently the children must be saved before they are added.
This is not the case for OneToMany, and for ManyToMany it should not be a
problem because usually the children exist independently of the
parent--that's why they can have 0 or 1 or more parents.

I'm not sure how a hypothetical toForm would work for a many-to-many

Access works---every time you select a value you get a new blank row. This
is good where you can have many or duplicate children, but is more complex
to implement. Similarly you can have a list of current children and a
dropdown to add. Another option (where duplicates are not allowed) is a set

[Lift] Re: TableEditor article
Kevin,
The way I implemented asmselect for a MappedManyToMany object was to
write a method in my Mapper class to extract the information
from the database.
object roles
extends MappedManyToMany(UserRole, UserRole.user, UserRole.role,
Role)
def validSelectValues: Box[List[(Long, String)]] =
Full(
Role.findAll.map( x = (x.id.is, x.name.is) ))
In my snippet, I created the select list like so:
var options = new Queue[Node]()
e.validSelectValues match {
case Full(x) = for(r - x){
if(e.roles.contains(r._1))
options+= option selected=selected{r._2}/
option
options+= option{r._2}/option
}
case _ =
}
def selectRoles =
select multiple=multiple name=roles[] title=Click
to Select a Role
{options}
/select
where e represents my Mapper instance. Then I just bound selectRoles
to
the tag in my template.
It was really pretty simple.

Access works---every time you select a value you get a new blank row. This
is good where you can have many or duplicate children, but is more complex

[Lift] Re: TableEditor article
Naftoli,
I think a configurable TableEditor is a good thing to have. I don't
believe it would take much to enhance what you have started. For one
thing, if TableEditorImpl were not a protected class, then
one could simply override what is needed. Perhaps it should be made a
trait that users could simply implement for any customization. Maybe
ItemList could be broken up into FieldList, for just
fields, and ItemList, for those non-field items, such as
MappedManyToMany. As it is, I will need to rewrite portions of the
code to handle these things. If I can do it so that it is reuseable
outside my own particular situation, I will let you know.

I should have thought of that problem.
I could make TableEditor more flexible when I have time, but the truth is
that I don't know if it's worth it. The whole thing is less than 80 LOC with
scaladocs (not counting the utilities it uses which you can also use). The
real logic that provides its semantics is ItemsList, which includes
sortability, and is public. So it's probably not worth it to not write your
own snippet! The value of TableEditor is that it's automatic--3 lines in the
view and two in Boot, (actually that could surely be lessened when I have a
chance) and it works on any table. Once your customizing it it might not be
worth it. It basically does old fashioned binds, backed by an ItemsList
(better name anyone?). Also it uses eachField from mapper.view.Util, but in
your case you know which fields you have.
What do you think?

Naftoli,
I must be doing something wrong. I tried the following, as you
suggested,
inserting the extra xml after the item:fields tag, but
ManagerUsers.list does its
own iteration through the table items and I get duplicate columns.
ManageUsers.list just does a bind to the myuser:roles tag.
table:items
tr
item:fields fields=firstname lastname email
td style=vertical-align: topfield:form //td
/item:fields
lift:ManageUsers.list
td style=vertical-align: topmyuser:roles //td
/lift:ManageUsers.list
td style=vertical-align: topitem:removeBtn //td
/tr
/table:items
Then, I have the added problem of saving changes to the item, since
roles is not
a field recognized by ItemsList.save.
Any suggestions??

I previously used Drupal and WordPress as my CMSs - now however I'm moving everything to MODx because of the increased flexibility and more-logical organization, and I'm also impressed with the demos of SilverStripe, TypoLight Typo3 - and LifeRay, which is written in Java instead of PHP. (LifeRay seems to be much more than a CMS - it claims to offer collaboration and social networking.) Some on-line demos here: MODx -http://trymodx.com/ SilverStripe -http://demo.silverstripe.com/ TypoLight -http://www.typolight.org/demo.html Typo3 -http://testsite.punkt.de/ LifeRay -http://demo.liferay.net/web/guest/home It would be good to take a look at these additional CMSs as they offer some capabilities beyond WordPress and Drupal. Drupal in particular is wildly popular but it may no longer be the best candidate to imitate, as it is less well-organized and less flexible/customizable (compared say to MODx, which lets you take CSS from an existing site and use it for your site, and which lets you apply a template to a single document, unlike Drupal where a theme applies to the entire site). To keep up with advanced CMSs, Drupal has evolved to use a bunch of (often redundant or competing) modules which are not always compatible with current releases. Examples of things that Drupal treats as add-ons (modules) are: custom content (the CCK/Views modules, with their confusing albeit AJAX-y interface), multi-language, and photo galleries (I gave up on Drupal after a few days of trying out various photo gallery modules, none of which I could understand). Finally, it seems odd that Drupal, as a content management system, lacks something all advanced CMSs have: a *treeview* of the overall site content. Instead, it only has a jumbled *list* of content, sorted by not by location but by last edited (!), with all translations also scattered through the list based on last- edited date, and this list is buried several levels deep in the admin navigation system, unlike the site content treeview navigator which is prominently displayed (usually on the left) in advanced CMSs. (Of course, I don't want to veer off-topic here and start a CMS flame war here in this liftweb discussion. :-) Regarding dynamic site map creation - I do know that MODx has something like this, using WayFinder to create a menu from selected branches of the site's document tree, automatically including any updated sub-branches, and I believe most other advanced CMSs have something like this too. LifeRay seems very intriguing - it claims to do a lot beyond just CMS. Since it's written in Java (not PHP), who knows if some of its code could

[Lift] Re: CMS for Lift?
Philip, I'm working on a cms system in Lift. Right now, it allows for content creation using wymeditor, which can be tagged and displayed as an atom feed. This code is runnable, simple as it is. I'm working on adding dynamic site map creation as well. Is this kind of what you have in mind by a CMS system. I'm very interested in workiing with others on a CMS that can compete with any of the PHP varieties out there, such as Drupal and Wordpress. Most of these simply use plugins from one ore more javascript libraries out there for site creation, and Lift certainly can do javascript as well as, if not better than, these systems. Glenn...

time-consuming trial and error coding. So, without clear examples
demonstrating exactly what you have in mind, I and others in the same
boat, could spend days and still not
get it right.
For example, I tried this:

and, I get a null value exception when I try to remove a user in the

val view = new ModelView(new User, this), doesn't work either,

Your snippet should extend ModelSnippet (which extends StatefulSnippet).

Calling load on another ModelView that references the snippet will load its

like save which checks validity.
Also see Util.
