The line is blurring. With EJB 3.1 (Java EE 6) there is talk of using various profiles so that you can essentially deploy a WAR file that bootstraps a subset of an application server feature set within a servlet container. OpenEJB already does something like this: http://openejb.apache.org/ Derek

When you deploy a web app I think you specify a context path (at least in jetty) which I think is what you're looking for -- the first part of the path after the domain name. On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 11:39 PM, g-man wrote: > > I came from a similar background, but with some detours after Rails >

I came from a similar background, but with some detours after Rails through Erlang, GAE w/ Django, and web2py. It took me about 2 months to finally start having fun with Lift and Scala, but I can tell you now it's really nice to just sit down, write something, and watch it work! I'm no expert yet
