The HTTP request/response part of Lift is agnostic about persistence. I made sure that this was the case. Use of JPA in Scala/Lift was not well documented before Derek came along, but it's quickly becoming the persistence mechanism of choice for Lift apps. Perhaps if folks start using JDO with Lift, that will garner community support and there will be a lot of JDO code that people contribute. So, I advocate using the persistence mechanism that one feels most comfortable with. I'll make sure that if folks start using JDO and they contribute JDO examples into the community that JDO gets the same level of support as JPA and mapper.
