"preventing accidental overrides" error

You're mixing actor libraries. This could work if you
meticulously keep track of which actors are lift actors
and which are scala actors (you could also throw in
some akka actors for good measure), but unless you
really need that and you really know what you are doing
you should stick to one set of actors. (Well, actually,
the type checker does the keeping track for you, as
witnessed by the error message you see.)

That's like trying to persist a class with both
eclipselink and hibernate simultaneously and expecting
consistent behaviour.

Jean, I think you've been asked not to post Lift questions on scala-user but on the lift list.

Hi, I wrote a simple web app using Scala/Lift, and am facing this
error. Though the error seems descriptive, am not getting exactly what
to do to resolve it. Initially, the code was :

'class AuctionActor extends CometActor {'

Which was giving the error:

[ERROR] C:\WorkIsHere\LiftEcomApp\src\main\scala\org\gto\jcoe\lift\ecom
\LiftEcom
App\comet\AuctionActor.scala:57: error: type mismatch;

So, I though I can extend Actor class too, and changed the code to:

'class AuctionActor extends CometActor with Actor {'


But then it's giving the following error:

[ERROR] C:\WorkIsHere\LiftEcomApp\src\main\scala\org\gto\jcoe\lift\ecom
