Java apps have gotten a lot easier to run on Azure this week. Here's a video on developing a simple app with Eclipse and deploying in Tomcat on Azure:
http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/SVC50 I don't believe Java on Azure has the same restrictions as Java on GAE. For example, you can write to the local filesystem and use threads. Using the REST-based Azure Tables datastore (non-RDBMS) with Lift's ORM might be tricky, but SQL Azure is available via JDBC. Or, as far as I know Derby should work. I think you need to be on Windows to develop though, even though the example in the video just uses Eclipse. For one thing, the desktop version of Azure is Windows-only. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
