Tim, obscuring things may get you a really long way indeed. But once the obscurity get broken and people figure out that they can do other things by using strange undocumented tags (i.e lift tags) they could cause lots of problems and side effects. Personally I'd stay away from it. And if I'd

You can use any database that has a JDBC driver, using whatever setup the database/driver supports. I don't think Lift can detect things like removed fields. Schemifying is great for initializing the database and making sure everything that will be expected to be in the database is created if it

Yeah perhaps utilize an xml maven plugin or similar - for the moment (and this proof of concept) think i'll stick to using lift tags and consider doing this sort of XSLT implementation for some IDE integration or whatever... We'll see what happens and how this process evolves over time. Thanks

Well it depends on how your dialog works... if you need a JS function that calls back to the server, use SHtml.ajaxInvoke. If you want a button element that does the same thing, use SHtml.ajaxButton. If that doesn't help you, please post what code you do have or an example of what you
