Hello,

Would somebody of the Life community be interested in trying to
implement the Page Flow Challenge in Lift?
You can find more details in the following blog post:

I'd love to get a Lift entry posted!

Erwin,

Interesting challenge - I think we could replicate this pretty easily
using the lift-wizard: http://is.gd/516re

Right now, the code in lift-wizard is really really "first pass" and
its something that we plan on working on quite a bit before 1.1.
However, would it be useful for me to put an example together so you
can essentially see how it works?

The general concept with the wizard is to control page flow.
Potentially it needs another name.... lift-pageflow perhaps?

Cheers, Tim

PS: Did you talk to me at Devoxx about this? If so, im really glad you
checked out Lift! If not, sorry, just had a very similar conversation
at the conference ;-)

Erwin,

Sorry, I just seen your picture on the blog link and it was indeed you
who had this conversation with!
Perhaps I miss communicated at the conference, but we can do this - as
above, i'll put together an example of where we are up to right now.

Cheers, Tim

Just to update this thread - im waiting for DPP to merge his wizard
branch into master then I'll make this little sample app.

Cheers, Tim

Tim,

Thanks for the interest in trying the challenge!
I'm sorry if I misunderstood your explanation at Devoxx. I certainly
do not want to put down on Lift. If anything I want Lift to pass this
challenge with ease!

Anyway, I did a follow-up post to clarify the test scenario a bit:

http://ev9d9.blogspot.com/2009/11/page-flow-challenge-clarification.html

This should help you in implementing it correctly.

As an aside: somebody submitted a provisional Wicket implementation
which runs all steps of the scenario except for step 11 (and 12).
However, they're still working on it so I haven't put it up yet.

Good luck with the challenge!

See http://demo.liftweb.net/wiz2

The back button is acting hinky... it's not forcing a reload of the page... something's funky with the headers Lift sends back... but that's a separate issue
