[Lift] Re: lift plugins/extensibility?
Lift doesn't have a formal plugin definition because none is necessary. In order to add modules to your application, you specify the modules in your Maven pom file (the only XML you'll have to touch to use Lift.) This makes sure that the module is available to your app. Next, you'll put one or two lines of configuration into the Boot.scala file to let Lift know that your module is available. This typically takes the form of intercepting URLs or registering pages in the SiteMap. What kind of plugins are you looking for in Lift?

[Lift] Re: lift plugins/extensibility?
i was just evaluating lift in general in the extensibility area. lets say for example u wanted to drop in openid authentication or something. i guess most of this is more around scala traits etc, rather than lift. what about something like dropping in a pluggable CMS. in rails for example there's comatose, and a newer one called browsercms. i know that i danjo its been architected in such a way as to allow u to build up an app from smaller app's etc. On Apr 14, 2:21 pm, Timothy Perrett timo...@getintheloop.eu wrote: You can just write normal JAR's and add them as dependencies.

[Lift] Re: lift plugins/extensibility?
i was evaluating lift versus rails plugins/gems mainly. for example, lets say i want to drop in openid authentication or something. or if i wanted to make a class versionable (although that's scala really not lift). what about a pluggable CMS, e.g. comatose or browsercms in rails, in djanjo for example its architected in such a way that allows u to compose an app from smaller apps etc On Apr 14, 2:21 pm, Timothy Perrett timo...@getintheloop.eu wrote: You can just write normal JAR's and add them as dependencies.

sorry guys. i didnt realise it was moderated (doh!!). it's been almost 5 years since i did any java at all but i know how JAR's work and i've looked into maven. i think i'll probably just go and create a sample app fully, i was going to create a personal task manager website in lift so perhaps that will be a good start. Btw, is there a good CMS module???

Perhaps lift-widgets project will shed some light for you. Widgets are in many respects self contained in terms of dependencies and you just use the exposed functions in your snippets.
