    Append a DispatchPF function to LiftRules.

    Append a DispatchPF function to LiftRules.dispatch. If the partial function id defined for a give Req it will construct a new Record based on the HTTP query string parameters and will pass this Record to the function returned by func parameter.

    func

  9. def asInstanceOf [T0] : T0

    This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expressionList(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

    returns

    the receiver object.

    Creates a new record setting the value of the fields from the original object but apply the new value for the specific field

  16. def eq (arg0: AnyRef) : Boolean

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on non-null instances of AnyRef: * It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(x) returns true. * It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, x.eq(y) returns true if and only if y.eq(x) returns true. * It is transitive: for any non-null instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.eq(y) returns true and y.eq(z) returns true, then x.eq(z) returns true.

    Additionally, the eq method has three other properties. * It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false. * For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. * null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for reference equality.

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

    attributes: final
    definition classes: AnyRef
  17. def equals (arg0: Any) : Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation]: * It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true. * It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. * It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  23. var formTemplate : Box[NodeSeq]

    Set this to use your own form template when rendering a Record to a form.

    This template is any given XHtml that contains three nodes acting as placeholders such as:

    &lt;lift:field_label name="firstName"/&gt; - the label for firstName field will be rendered here &lt;lift:field name="firstName"/&gt; - the firstName field will be rendered here (typically an input field) &lt;lift:field_msg name="firstName"/&gt; - the <lift:msg> will be rendered here hafing the id given by uniqueFieldId of the firstName field.

    Example.

    Having:

    class MyRecord extends Record[MyRecord] {

    def meta = MyRecordMeta

    object firstName extends StringField(this, "John")

    }

    object MyRecordMeta extends MyRecord with MetaRecord[MyRecord] { override def mutable_? = false }

    ...

    val rec = MyRecordMeta.createRecord.firstName("McLoud")

    val template = &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;lift:field_label name="firstName"/&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;lift:field name="firstName"/&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;lift:field_msg name="firstName"/&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

  29. def hashCode () : Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

    returns

    This method is used to test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the test result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.
