Lift Stamped

These traits let you extend your MetaMapper-models to log every change
made by users (and the belonging customers). Tested on liftweb 1.1-M7.

What it does do

• logging which user/customer changed which record on which class
• skip logging (initial user creation, for background-job purpose)
• adds reverse associations so your record has a “logs” method

What it doesn’t do (yet)

• logging of what changed
• reverting records according to what was changed
• reverse associations for the Singleton to get every log associated with that model

Traits for the class

• CustomerFields: adds a customer-object to the model
• ActivateFields: adds an active-boolean to the model (with seperate logging)
• ActionLogs: adds reverse associations to records (not the singleton)

Traits for the singleton

• Stamped: stamps any changes done to records in that model
• Activatable: logging for ActivateFields

Stamping a model

class MyModel extends LongKeyedMapper[MyModel]
	with IdPK
	with CustomerFields[MyModel]
	with ActionLogs[MyModel]
	with ActivateFields[MyModel] {

object MyModel extends MyModel with LongKeyedMetaMapper[MyModel]
	with Stamped[MyModel] with Activatable[MyModel]

Initial user creation with logging skipped

In Boot.scala add this:

if (Customer.findAll.length == 0) {
	/* Customer creation */
        Customer.skipLogging = true
        val c = new Customer
        c.name("First Customer").save
        Customer.skipLogging = false
	/* User creation */
	User.skipLogging = true
        val u = new User
        u.customer(c).
        firstName("First").
        lastName("User").
        email("valid@e.mail").
        password("s0m3th1ngs3cur3").
        validated(true).save
        User.skipLogging = false
}

Really, it’s open source for a reason. ;)
