By default this just adds a query string parameter unique per application lifetime. More complex implementation could user per resource MD5 sequences thus "forcing" browsers to refresh the resource only when the resource file changes. Users can define other rules as well. Inside user's function it is safe to use S context as attachResourceId is called from inside the <lift:with-resource-id> snippet

    If this is Full, comet updates (partialUpdates or reRenders) are wrapped in a try/catch statement.

    If this is Full, comet updates (partialUpdates or reRenders) are wrapped in a try/catch statement. The provided JsCmd is the body of the catch statement. Within that JsCmd, the variable "e" refers to the caught exception.

    In development mode, this defaults to Full and the command within invokes liftComet.lift_cometError with the exception; lift_cometError rethrows the exception by default. In production mode, this defaults to Empty.

    Note that if you set this to Full, it is highly advised that you rethrow the exception. If you fail to rethrow the exception, you run the risk of dropping an unpredictable number of updates (i.e., if the third of 20 updates that are sent to the client in a single response throws an exception, none of the subsequent ones will run; failing to rethrow the exception means any updates that did not run will never be run).

If the PartialFunction isDefinedAt the given locale/path, then that's the template returned. In this way, you can return Empty for a template that's not found and the template will not be found. Otherwise, if the function is not defined for the locale/path pair, the normal templating system will be used. Also, keep in mind how FactoryMaker can be used... it can be global, per request, etc.

    The JsCmd to execute when the ajax session is lost.

    The JsCmd to execute when the ajax session is lost. The ajax session is considered lost when either an ajax request comes in for a session that does not exist on the server.

    By default, we invoke liftAjax.lift_sessionLost, which can be overridden client-side for more complex work. liftAjax.lift_sessionLost reloads the page by default.

  129. val noCometSessionCmd: FactoryMaker[JsCmd]

    The JsCmd to execute when the comet session is lost.

    The JsCmd to execute when the comet session is lost. The comet session is considered lost when either (a) a comet request comes in for a session that does not exist on the server or (b) a comet request comes in for a session that has no associated comet actors (this typically happens when the server restarts).

    By default, we invoke liftComet.lift_sessionLost, which can be overridden client-side for more complex work. liftComet.lift_sessionLost redirects to LiftRules.noCometSessionPage by default for now, though noCometSessionPage is deprecated and will be replaced by a default of reloading the current page.

  130. val noticesAutoFadeOut: FactoryMaker[(Value) ⇒ Box[(util.Helpers.TimeSpan, util.Helpers.TimeSpan)]]

    Set the default fadeout mechanism for Lift notices.

    Set the default fadeout mechanism for Lift notices.

  132. val noticesEffects: FactoryMaker[(Box[Value], String) ⇒ Box[JsCmd]]

    Use this to apply various effects to the notices.

    Use this to apply various effects to the notices. The user function receives the NoticeType and the id of the element containing the specific notice. Thus it is the function's responsibility to form the javascript code for the visual effects. This is applicable for both ajax and non ajax contexts. For notices associated with ID's the user type will receive an Empty notice type. That's because the effect is applied on the real estate holding the notices for this ID. Typically this contains a single message.

  133. var noticesToJsCmd: () ⇒ JsCmd

    This function is called to convert the current set of Notices into a JsCmd that will be executed on the client to display the Notices.

    This function is called to convert the current set of Notices into a JsCmd that will be executed on the client to display the Notices.

    Set the sitemap to a function that will be run to generate the sitemap.

    This allows for changing the SiteMap when in development mode and having the function re-run for each request.

    This is **NOT** a mechanism for dynamic SiteMap. This is a mechanism **ONLY** for allowing you to change the SiteMap during development. There will be significant performance penalties (serializing the service of requests... only one at a time) for changing the SiteMap.

  168. def siteMap: Box[SiteMap]

    Return the sitemap if set in Boot.

    Return the sitemap if set in Boot. If the current runMode is development mode, the sitemap may be recomputed on each page load.

  173. val snippetWhiteList: FactoryMaker[() ⇒ PartialFunction[(String, String), Box[(NodeSeq) ⇒ NodeSeq]]]

    There may be times when you want to entirely control the templating process.

    There may be times when you want to entirely control the templating process. You can insert a function that creates a white list of snippets. The white list is the exhaustive list of snippets. The snippets are class/method pairs. If the partial function is defined and the result is a Full Box, the function is run. If the Box is an EmptyBox, then the result is a snippet lookup failure. If the partial function is not defined, then the normal snippet resolution mechanism is used. Please note that in Scala a Map is PartialFunction and you can create Maps that have a default value using the withDefaultValue method.

  174. val snippets: RulesSeq[SnippetPF]

    Holds the user's snippet functions that will be executed by lift given a certain path.

  175. val statefulRewrite: RulesSeq[RewritePF]

    Holds the user's rewrite functions that can alter the URI parts and query parameters.

    Holds the user's rewrite functions that can alter the URI parts and query parameters. This rewrite takes place within the scope of the S state so SessionVars and other session-related information is available.
    Note also that rewrites should not have side effects except to memoize database query results. No side effects means that you should not change SessionVars in a rewrite.
    In general, rewrites should be considered low level access. Rather than using a rewrite to extract parameters out of a URL, you'll be much better off using SiteMap generally and Menu.param and Menu.params specifically for extracting parameters from URLs.

  176. val statelessDispatch: RulesSeq[DispatchPF]

    Holds user's DispatchPF functions that will be executed in a stateless context.

    Holds user's DispatchPF functions that will be executed in a stateless context. This means that no session will be created and no JSESSIONID cookie will be presented to the user (unless the user has presented a JSESSIONID cookie).

    This is the way to do stateless REST in Lift

  177. val statelessReqTest: RulesSeq[StatelessReqTestPF]

    Certain paths and requests within your application can be marked as stateless and if there is access to Lift's stateful facilities (setting SessionVars, updating function tables, etc.

    Certain paths and requests within your application can be marked as stateless and if there is access to Lift's stateful facilities (setting SessionVars, updating function tables, etc.) the developer will receive a notice and the operation will not complete.

  178. val statelessRewrite: RulesSeq[RewritePF]

    Holds the user's rewrite functions that can alter the URI parts and query parameters.

    Holds the user's rewrite functions that can alter the URI parts and query parameters. This rewrite is performed very early in the HTTP request cycle and may not include any state. This rewrite is meant to rewrite requests for statelessDispatch.
    Note also that rewrites should not have side effects except to memoize database query results. No side effects means that you should not change SessionVars in a rewrite.

  179. val statelessSession: FactoryMaker[(Req) ⇒ LiftSession with StatelessSession]
