Hi all,
I'm using XMPP in my little LiftApp and tried to migrate my code to
the new Lift Actors.
Somehow it seems that net.liftweb.xmpp still uses Scala Actors.
Is this intentional or about to change?
If not is it possible that Scala Actors communicate with Lift Actors?
At the moment I don't get my project to compile due to some type
mismatch errors but that might also be my lack of understanding
of the different Actor implementations.
Thanks,
ssid

Folks,
As the title of this email indicates, there are breaking changes in Lift
that just got pushed to master.
We've migrated from Scala Actors to Lift Actors and included a series of
traits that allow Lift to use its own Actors or Akka Actors (or anything
else that implements that interface.)
The two big changes that you'll have to work with are:
- Box/Full/Empty/Failure was moved from the lift-util/net.liftweb.util
package to the lift-common/net.liftweb.common package. The reason for this
change is that we're going to make the lift-common package a more generic,
non-web related package. It currently contains Box and Actor, but in the
future may contain other interfaces that will have concrete implementations
outside of Lift. We moved Box there because Box is richer than Scala's
Option class and being able to carry Exceptions around in a Box while still
being able to map/flatMap/foreach over a Box (these are unavailable for
Scala's Either). Some we're going to actively promote using Box as a
replacement for Option in all Scala apps. What this means for you is you
have to import net.liftweb.common._ in any file that you also import
net.liftweb.util.?
- Lift no longer support Scala Actors for Comet Actors. The GenericActor
API offers pretty much the same client interface to Lift's Actors, so ! and
!? work the same way. However, there's no link, self, start or exit
methods.
Please do an mvn -U clean install on your code and run it against the new
code. If you have any Comet-related weirdness, please report it
immediately. We're planning M7 in 2 weeks, so we've got lots of time to
iron any kinks out of this code.
Thanks,
David
