It will be possible to run Lift as a Servlet. It will also be possible to run Lift as a Portlet. Toilet, no. Other kind of input (e.g., hook it into that high performance Scala-based HTTP server that Russian guy wrote), yes. The bottom line is that we want to divorce Lift from the mechanics of where the request came from or is going to as much as possible. The only breakage that I can see is that Req.request is going to turn from an HttpServletRequest to Box[HttpServletRequest] The rest will be under the covers. > > Cheers, > Viktor > > On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 12:16 AM, Chad Skinner <chadwskin...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> >> >> On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 5:44 PM, David Pollak < >> feeder.of.the.be...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Chad, >>> What would be most helpful is if you could mock up and example with >>> servlets (written in Scala or Java).
