getting "invalid json" when using Long parameter type and not String

[alexmnyc]

.jsonCall("getPonyByName", (id:Long) => {
// Return the matching pony
Full(MyPony.findById(id))
}

I'll take a look at this when I get some time. It's possible that this is a general Lift question, so you may want to post this question on the Google Group.

Sorry I've been slow getting back to you. As I sit to take a second look at this, probably what should happen is a compilation failure in this case. The value arguments are Unit, String, and NgModel. If you want to pass a Long, I would recommend defining a simple case class to wrap it up =>

case class PonyRequest(id:Long) extends NgModel

.jsonCall("getPonyById", (req:PonyRequest) => {
  Full(MyPony.findById(req.id))
}

I've finally found time to dig into this. I have no idea why this compiles, so I have opened a stackoverflow question to get some insight.

This will fail to compile in 0.7.0.
