Hi, Actually my mind keeps flipping between SEAM and Liftweb, for months.
Today my feeling is I should focus on the JPA for my project in Java using seam generate, then to take the JPA across to the Liftweb environment and to program my website in Liftweb. Since my database is big, nearly 100 tables in mysql. Of course torn between doing it completely in SEAM or using JPA/Liftweb. The great thing about Liftweb is the community is going good now - and I guess my quesitons will get answered, also I would tend to contribute back to the community. As opposed to completely doing it in SEAM, sure there's documentation, but I wouldn't be contributing back. Also I like Scala and I like where Liftweb is going.
