[Lift] More on bind and preserving attributes

2009-11-27 Thread Jeppe Nejsum Madsen
Hi,

I know this has been discussed somewhat at length (e.g. here
http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb/browse_thread/thread/27aed5f45faf759/a261a2dfe0ae7207?lnk=gstq=attributes+bind#a261a2dfe0ae7207)

but I still think the default behaviour of - should be reconsidered if
at all possible. Here's why:

I went through our app fixing small UI annoyances. One is missing tab
index on input fields. I knew this has been working previously.

Template:
 olli
label for=email{S.??(email.address)}/label 
user:email user:tabindex=1/
/lili
  label for=password{S.??(password)} (a 
href={lostPasswordPath.mkString(/, /, 
)}{S.??(recover.password)}/a)/label
  user:password user:tabindex=2/
/li
 /ol

Code:
  bind(user, loginXhtml,
 email - (FocusOnLoad(input type=text name=username id=email 
class=text/)),
 password - (input type=password class=password id=password 
name=password/),
 submit - (input type=submit class=submit
  value={S.??(log.in)}/))

Note the user:tabindex attribute which used to emit a tabindex attribute
in the HTML (this has been changed cf. the conversation above)

I can now change user:tabindex to tabindex and  - to -% and I get the
tabindex parameter emitted. There are a few problems with this:

1) It doesn't work for the email field since it doesn't bind an Elem but
a NodeSeq (so -% wouldn't now where to attach the attributes. You could
attach the attributes to the first elem in the NodeSeq (which would work
here), but this doesn't sound like a nice general solution)

2) I have to change my code if I need to introduce attributes on the
rendered elem (ignore the fact that my template code already contains a
class attr :-)

3) To change the email field, I came up with this which seems rather
verbose, but perhaps there's a better way?
  email - {_:NodeSeq = 
   val n = BindHelpers.currentNode openOr scala.xml.NodeSeq.Empty
   (FocusOnLoad(mixinAttributes (input type=text name=username 
id=email class=text/)(n).first.asInstanceOf[Elem]))},

Because of 2) I'm tempted to always use -% in bind. I would like UI
info to be editable by our UI guy without having to change code when
introducing new attributes.


But If I use -% always, it might as well be the default mode of
operation :-) But maybe I'm the only person with such needs?

Imo, it boils down to the fact that I frequently need to specify
attributes in the markup code but have to either 1) anticipate this up
front in the binding or 2) Change both markup and code when a change is
introduced.

I'm not sure what the best solution is but to me it looks like the
problem that needs solving is where to attach the attributes specified
in the markup?

Before trying to solve this I'm interested in gauging the possibility of
changing this at all :-)

You don't build for deployment, it is the same war (modulus any compiler
settings or other build steps you've specified)

The lift run mode is determined at runtime, so you need to specify the
run.mode=production as a system property when launching jetty

(This is what happens with the maven command above: It starts jetty with
this system property set)

If you happen to run jetty on a Debian based Linux you can accomplish
this by:

echo JAVA_OPTIONS=-Drun.mode=production /etc/default/jetty6

[Lift] Binding error in Ajax call : how to debug ?

2009-11-27 Thread Francois
Hello,

When I use bind(namespace, template, bindings*) in an Ajax call, if 
there is a binding error (for example, a misspelled word in the 
template), I can't see any error, nor in the web broswer as it the case 
for such error outside Ajax Call, nor in the console log.

I know that I can use firebug to see the Ajax response, and dig in it to 
search for not XHTML tags, but as I'm just begining with Lift, I was 
wondering if there is a rule or something to enable such error to be 
displayed in a much more visible fashion when I'm in developpement mode ?


Thanks in advance !

PS: I use Lift 1.1-SNAPSHOT

[Lift] Refactoring Round 2

2009-11-27 Thread Indrajit Raychaudhuri
Folks,

In continuation to the refactoring initiative and following up on the
discussion that we had on the last committers call, here we have the
next round of broad based project structure refactoring proposal. This
is themed around the idea of splitting the build system into separate
smaller 'projects' with clearly demarcated responsibilities between
them. In the way, these projects can have independent life-cycles on
their own without coming in the way of each other (but still continue
to have a dependency hierarchy).

Here are the set of projects to begin with:

1. framework (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/framework):
The regular Lift as we have today (minus lift-archetype, lift-
examples, lift-misc).
Thus we would have:
framwork/pom.xml
framwork/lift-base
framwork/lift-persistence
framwork/lift-modules


2. archetypes (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/
archetypes):
The lift-archetypes from Liftweb.
archetypes/pom.xml
archetypes/lift-archetype-blank
archetypes/lift-archetype-basic
archetypes/lift-archetype-jpa-blank-single
archetypes/lift-archetype-jpa-blank
archetypes/lift-archetype-jpa-basic


3. examples (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/examples):
The lift-archetypes from Liftweb. The big uptake for archetypes and
examples is the reduction of build time for building full Lift.
Individuals building Lift might not always be interested in building
non ancillary packages like lift-archetypes and lift-examples.
examples/pom.xml
examples/example1
examples/example2

4. resources (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/resources:

4a. project-parent: A pure POM based project to be canonically used by
all Lift family of projects (liftweb, lift-archetype, lift-examples
etc.). Lot of what has gone in liftweb/pom.xml should get moved here.
Obviously, this would contain the most generic configuration that
holds true for all projects of Lift (#1, #2, #3).

4b. site-skin: Lift specific site skin instead of relying on org.scala-
tools.skins:scala-skin-simple

5. references (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/
references):
Lift documentations and presentations. These don't need to show up in
the project hierarchy in the IDE.

6. installer (http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/branch/installer):
The usual lift-installer that is tucked inside lift-misc. Again, these
are unnecessarily showing up in the project hierarchy in the IDE.

I am floating the idea beforehand and would be keen to have input from
committers, the pros and cons and any other general feedback before
proceeding.

Thoughts would be very welcome :)

Re: [Lift] More on bind and preserving attributes

2009-11-27 Thread Ross Mellgren
I'm not sure if this addresses your points, but I figured I'd throw  
out what I've been doing in case it helps.

I don't use -%, but I do use something similar along with another  
implicit so I can place the attrs in exactly the right place, and it  
automagically combines class and style attributes correctly. Some  
example code:

bind(user, loginXhtml,
  email - (FocusOnLoad(input type=Text name=username  
id=email class=text / %% currentPrefixedAttrs(input)),
  ...)

The %% is a method on an extension of Elem which knows how to combine  
MetaData like %, but properly handles combining style= and class=  
attributes. currentPrefixedAttrs is a helper method that collects all  
the attributes of the current binding node with a given prefix and  
strips the prefix, basically like S.prefixedAttrsToMetaData, but for  
the current binding node instead of the current snippet node.

This is fairly brief, does not have the same which Elem problems  
that -% might since you specifically annotate where you want the  
attributes to go, does not have the problem with class= and style=  
attributes.

I think personally that the default behavior of bind is correct and  
least surprising, since (at least for me and the applications I have)  
it's very common that a single bound tag does not map one to one to a  
result elem.

I'm not sure what the general policy on utility-style stuff like this,  
but if there's a desire, I can contribute it into the lift codebase.

Here's currentPrefixedAttrs and it's helpers:

object XMLHelpers {
 /** Transform all attributes of a element with the given prefix  
to unprefixed attributes with the same values, discarding any other  
attributes */
 def prefixedAttrsToUnprefixed(prefix: String)(attrs: MetaData):  
MetaData =
 stripPrefixes(attrs.filter(attrsWithPrefix(prefix)))

 /** Strip prefixes from prefixed attributes, leaving unprefixed  
attributes */
 def stripPrefixes(in: MetaData): MetaData = in.foldLeft[MetaData] 
(Null) {
 (rest, md) = md match {
 case pa: PrefixedAttribute = new UnprefixedAttribute 
(pa.key, pa.value, rest)
 case upa: UnprefixedAttribute = new UnprefixedAttribute 
(upa.key, upa.value, rest)
 case Null = rest
 case x = throw new IllegalArgumentException(Not sure  
how to process  + x +  (of type  + x.getClass.getName + ))
 }
 }

 /** A filtering function which matches any prefixed attribute  
with a given prefix */
 def attrsWithPrefix(pre: String)(md: MetaData): Boolean = md  
match {
 case pa: PrefixedAttribute if pa.pre == pre = true
 case _ = false
 }

 /** Implicitly convert an Elem to a ElemExtension to enable  
additional functionality */
 implicit def elemToElemExtension(e: Elem): ElemExtension =  
ElemExtension(e)

 /** Like {...@link MetaData#update} but instead of overwriting class  
and style attributes, the values are combined with an appropriate  
format for those attributes. Other attributes are overwrriten per  
usual. */

NamespaceBinding): MetaData = {
 def notClassNorStyle(md: MetaData) = md.key match { case  
(class|style) = false; case _ = true }

Re: [Lift] How to get the servlet context

2009-11-27 Thread Ross Mellgren
A way you can get the Servlet context is like this:

LiftRules.context match {
 case context: HTTPServletContext = // do something with  
context.ctx which is the javax.servlet.ServletContext
 case _ = // do something when the context is not a servlet  
context, perhaps log an error
}

The reason you need the match is because Lift can run on non-servlet  
web containers, so Lift does not guarantee there is a Servlet context  
in scope.

Hope that helps,

 LS,

 After Ross' kind invitation to post any other questions I might have,
 I'll start with
 this one:

 The web application I am developing needs a scratch directory to white
 scaled
 images to.  I first try to use a subdir of /tmp and put a symbolic
 link in place to
 access that directory from my project's context.  However, this got me
 an
 error message (something about an aliased resource), so after some
 searching
 around I decided the best way is to create a directory inside WEF-INF
 and
 access it through getServletContext ().getRealPath (/...).

 From the APIdocs I found out that an instance of a ServiceContext is
 passed
 to HTTPServletContext, but I haven't been able to find if that is the
 instance I
 need, or how to get an instance of HTTPServletContext...

 Note: I am currently able to read/write temporary finds when running
 through
 mvn getty:run, but I need a solution that still works when I deploy a
 war with
 an existing jetty server.

 Thanks for any hints!

Re: [Lift] How to get the servlet context

 A way you can get the Servlet context is like this:

 LiftRules.context match {

 The reason you need the match is because Lift can run on non-servlet
 web containers, so Lift does not guarantee there is a Servlet context
 in scope.

 Hope that helps,

[Lift] Re: Newbie Question: Problems compiling/running examples

2009-11-27 Thread Jcon
Again, thanks for the quick response -- finally got it!  Here's what I
did and what ended up being the problem (maybe an obvious one, but
wasn't to me since I'm new to scala/lift):

1. Ran 'git pull' then 'git reset --hard'
2. Ran 'mvn clean install' from liftweb root
3. Several projects built fine, but I got a compile failure building
the examples.  The full maven output is listed below.
4. I thought, Hmmm.  This build obviously works for the Lift guys.
What is possibly different about their environment?  Scala!  For
giggles downloaded Scala 2.7.7 and put in my path.
5. Re-ran 'mvn clean install' from the root and everything worked.

So for noobs such as myself, the following things were needed in
addition to Maven:
1. increase the default Maven heap size.  This is pretty easy, but I
also use Maven all the time.  For someone new to Maven, this might not
be obvious: export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m
2. Download Scala 2.7.7 and put it in the path.  This is not obvious
because the build sort of works without it (I guess the Maven scala
plugin does the compilation?).

Again, good response time on the help.  That is important -- I'm
evaluating Grails, Roo, and Lift as potential options for a project.
I'm a Java dev, so Grails/Roo is easy.  I like what I've seen so far
from Lift, but I'll also probably have a lot of dumb questions since
I'm new to scala, so it is important to have a responsive community
and that seems like that's what you've got.

 2009/11/26 surfman chinasmile...@gmail.com

 So, if I want to use nosql database with LIFT, what I have to use is
 JDBC driver, am I right?
 Any experienced suggestion? Google has very little searching result on
 it.
 I'd appreciate any idea on this topic. Thanks.


 No, you can use whatever Java driver the nosql database comes with.  If the
 nosql database has a JDBC driver, then  you might find it easier to use one
 of the Java ORM systems that support it.  However, JDBC is pretty much a SQL
 thing, so that might be difficult.

 Using a nosql database means that you don't have access to some of the
 built in features that Mapper and Record give you for data mapping, and form
 generation, but you should still be able to use Lift quite easily.


Record is not tied to SQL.  One should be able to write a bridge from Record
to a NoSQL DB.

 Surfman

RE: [Lift] Re: overriding ConnectionManager.newSuperConnection

2009-11-27 Thread Naftoli Gugenheim
Yeah, IIRC what happened was that it was trying to read tables from the schema 
with the user's name (assuming it was the default) while when it actually 
created them they went into the actual default, PUBLIC. I think this resulted 
in Schemifier trying to create tables that existed maybe.
So the real fix was setting the H2 DriverType default schema to PUBLIC, as we 
realized only later.

Hi David,

 I did work around this by putting the schemas in my search path.
 Edit postgresql.conf and add the following:
 search_path = '$user,public,schema1,schema2,schemaN'

 As for this being a bug... did you intend for Mapper to support
 schemas on the CRUD side?

The support for schemas in schemifier was a special-case fix for, if I remember 
correctly, something relating to H2 and the way H2 user names are related to 
something.

 I think the short answer is that we're not going to explicitly support schemas 
in Mapper.  If you need a more complete ORM, please use JPA.

Sorry.
 
If so, I'd be happy to create a repro.
 BUT it can quite easily be reproduced by taking an existing project
 and moving an existing table into a schema:

 $ psql yourdb
 yourdb=# create schema someschema;
 CREATE SCHEMA
 yourdb=# alter table user set schema someschema;
 ALTER TABLE

 Now relaunch your app, and you'll see some issues with the user table.
 Previously I had to alter my User companion object like so:

 override def dbTableName = someschema.user

 ...for Mapper to issue the correct queries to the database.

  If this is a bug, please create a repro example (something we can use to
  test) and open a ticket.
 
  Thanks,

   However, if I change the model from this:
 
   override def dbTableName = tablename
 
   to this:
 
   override def dbTableName = schemaname.tablename
 
   ...then things start working, but this is obviously not the intended
   way to achieve this, right?
 
   Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

[Lift] Re: How to get the servlet context

2009-11-27 Thread jhonig
Heiko,

In the meantime, I found that solution as well...   I tried it, and
the default seems to
be a work directory in target.  I guess I can set another value
for the attribute
if I manage to convince jetty to do that for me.   What I forgot to
mention is that
the directory is to contain images that are to be served by jetty...
So it means
the directory should be logically under webapp, but not in the war (of
course).

If I use a link from inside the war to some regular file system
location, I'll
probably run into the same problem as before.  Any idea how to do
this?

  Dear Heiko,

   According to the Servlet spec each webapp has got a private temporary

   ServletContext.getTmpDir(). Please take a look at the spec.

  I started reading the spec, but didn't find it yet.  ServletContext

Re: [Lift] Re: How to get the servlet context

2009-11-27 Thread Heiko Seeberger
Job,

This directory is managed by the servlet container and as far as I know
there is little you can do to configure the location. If you use Tomcat you
are able to specify CATALINA_BASE and it will be somewhere beneath that
directory, I believe it is work/Catalina/localhost/WABAPP-NAME.

Regarding serving images from there: Depending on the configuration of the
servlet container WARs are not unpacked, hence there is no standard way to
bring these images into your webapp. I think you will not be able to have
the servlet container serve these images directly. But it should be easy to
write a ServletFilter or something that will do it for you.

[Lift] Re: Beef with LiftRules.explicitlyParsedSuffixes

2009-11-27 Thread Marius
For a default behavior this is a reasonable approach. But from a
framework perspective this is a little limiting.

In order to be more extensible I think we should allow users to plug
in their own splitting functions (say a LiftRules RulesSeq of
functions) and essentially determine what is suffix and what is not
based on potentially some more complex rules. But that's just me ...

What would be the overhead of such a system? It seems like this would better

Re: [Lift] Re: How to get the servlet context

2009-11-27 Thread Timothy Perrett

Here's a nugget of information for you that will help (as I do something 
similar to what you want in one of my applications):

  val protectionDomain: ProtectionDomain = 
classOf[bootstrap.liftweb.Boot].getProtectionDomain()
  val location: URL = protectionDomain.getCodeSource().getLocation()

Print the value of location, and that will get you headed in the right 
direction ;-) Moreover, if your using jetty, if there is a work directory 
next to where the war file is, jetty will automatically expand the war into 
that work folder... if not, it makes a temp directory in the relevant OS temp 
directory (/var/tmp on *nix OS)

Godspeed.

 I think the MappedBoolean isn't properly done in the OracleDriver:

 And if you look at the generated DDL:

 CREATE TABLE USERS
 (
   ...
   SUPERUSER decimal(22),
   ...
 );

 Any hints on how to solve this? Btw, it's a 10g data base

  Great stuff.

   Hi,
 
   I see that there is a DriverType and OracleDriver in 1.1-m7 but again
   I don't know how to connect the dots.
 
   How would a DB.defineConnectionManager method call that uses an oracle
   db look like?
 
   Thanks, suls

[Lift] fsc and Lift

Does anybody use fsc instead of scalac? I find scalac slow. Are there
any known issues with using fsc with Lift?

  One of the requisites to start using Lift at my work, was to use LDAP

  So i wrote a little module lift-ldap for that and a sample app, it was
  damn simple!

[Lift] MetaMapper - Count with Group By?

2009-11-27 Thread Joern
Hi there,

is it possible, to create a select statement like SELECT user_id,
count(*) FROM table GROUP BY user_id with the MetaMapper?
I want to let users get statistical information about some tables like
how many news did that guy / the top 5 posters write or how many
news are in each category.

Thanks,
Joern

[Lift] Re: fsc and Lift

2009-11-27 Thread Peter Robinett
If you're using Maven to manage your Lift project and especially
testing things with the mvn jetty:run target, run mvn scala:cc in
another shell. It will run fsc, detect source file changes and
recompile them, reloading classes or restarting Jetty as necessary. It
works very well, though I find that editing actor classes tends to
require a true shutdown of Jetty and restart.

 You don't build for deployment, it is the same war (modulus any compiler
 settings or other build steps you've specified)

 The lift run mode is determined at runtime, so you need to specify the
 run.mode=production as a system property when launching jetty

 (This is what happens with the maven command above: It starts jetty with
 this system property set)

 If you happen to run jetty on a Debian based Linux you can accomplish
 this by:

 echo JAVA_OPTIONS=-Drun.mode=production /etc/default/jetty6
