Derek, I still humbly suggest writing an implementation of PropertyAccessor<http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/property/PropertyAccessor.html>to map the values between JPA and the Lift business objects.
Then, in the Hibernate-mapping or the Configuration object, just define: <hibernate-mapping default-cascade="none" default-access="*net.liftweb.jpa.LiftFieldAccessor*" //Or something else package="bahblah"> Cheers, V ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Derek Chen-Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 3:54 PM Subject: [Lift committers] Re: Adding JPA scaffolding to lift? To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought about it a bit last night. JPA infers entity members from either fields or getter/setter pairs. In that sense, I could create a JPA object like class MyEntity extends Record[MyEntity] { object nameField extends StringField(this,100) def name = nameField.value def name_=(value : String) = nameField.set(value) } But that seems a bit clunky. The other option may be to somehow come up with a modified Field (JPAField?) trait that can access instance fields, perhaps via a closure.
