[Lift] Re: Supporting Jetty 7 Continuations

2009-10-07 Thread Timothy Perrett

My point exactly!

To that end, why dont we just add a small matching statement or switch  
that allows using Jetty 7 - only the package structure has changed not  
the continuation API itself so it should be fairly trivial. The jetty- 
runner stuff would really get me out of jetty-wrapper-hell that im in  
right now and would mean we could create an archetype that allows Lift  
apps to be deployable as a standalone JAR with jetty built in... would  
that not be über cool?

Cheers, Tim

I know that has been the plan - but I cant help but think that Servlet  
3.0 is still a long way off standardisation?

What do you think?

I was hoping to generically support Servlet 3.0 continuations (which should
work for Jetty 7 and Glassfish).  Please open a ticket for it.
