Re: [Lift] Newbie Q: can I manually create a LiftSession?

2010-03-04 Thread dave dearing 
I think you're understanding (and I've accurately described) the problem...

I have servlets that are accessed outside of Lift and essentially I'd like
to have something like this work:

  S.session.map(s => {
 val my_lift_session = SessionMaster.getSession(s.uniqueId, Empty)
 log("[S.inStatefulScope?] " + S.inStatefulScope_?) // true?
 // do stuff with User.logUserIn, etc.
  }))

Just to make sure I'm not missing something, I've got my web.xml LiftFilter
set to /* and bypassing the subpaths that I don't want Lift to catch with:

  LiftRules.liftRequest.append {
case Req("myapp" :: "user_mgt" :: _, _, _) => true
case _ => false
  }

and I am NOT setting *passNotFoundToChain *to true because that gives
me "Client
did
not send n bytes as expected" errors

So, not currently possible?

Re: [Lift] Newbie Q: can I manually create a LiftSession?

2010-03-04 Thread David Pollak 
Do you want to create/access a LiftSession from outside a Lift-handed
request, but make sure the same LiftSession is available when you access the
Lift parts of your app? (sorry, I want to make sure I understand the
problem)

Right now, there's no good way to do that... sorry :-(

Feel encouraged to open a ticket on it at
https://liftweb.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/tickets  It'd be ideal if you
could include a test application so we could verify it was doing the right
thing.

[Lift] Newbie Q: can I manually create a LiftSession?

2010-03-03 Thread David Dearing 
I'm new to Lift and am trying to use Lift within a subpath of my web
application.  For example, http://domain.com is an existing webapp,
but my LiftFilter handles the "user_mgt" subpath (http://domain.com/
user_mgt/*).  My existing webapp already handles user authentication,
but I want to use the lost/change password functionality of Lift's
MegaProtoUser.

How do I create a LiftSession from my existing webapp so that I can
call User.logUserIn(my_user)?

I am embedding my User.logUserIn call within S.initIfUninitted like
this:
   S.initIfUninitted(my_lift_session.openOr(** SOMETHING? **))
   {
  User.logUserIn(user)
   }

If a LiftSession exists, I can retrieve it and it works fine:
   val my_lift_session = SessionMaster.getSession(current_session_id,
Empty)

However, when my_lift_session is Empty, I have tried:
   LiftRules.sessionCreator(new
provider.servlet.HTTPServletSession(current_session), ""))

which appears to create a new LiftSession, but when I actually
navigate to a page in the subpath http://domain.com/user_mgt/change_password
it doesn't recognize that I've logged in.  Perhaps when I load the
page http://domain.com/user_mgt/change_password it is creating a new
LiftSession even though one already exists?

I've been banging my head on this for a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
