Hi Glenn, I don't understand where you're coming from either... I've integrated Lift with a different persistence layer (home-grown), another authentication system (Tempo RBAC), integrated it with existing Java libraries and Spring MVC components without trouble. So far, I haven't run into a situation where Lift got in the way of integration. The fact that Lift uses all the standard servlet APIs made it easy to simply add it to an existing app and even reuse session state / cookies from existing apps.
I can see how Lift can be different from what you're used to, but I don't see how Lift gets in the way of integrating with legacy apps. My 2 cents... alex On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 1:06 PM, glenn <[email protected]> wrote: > > Just some observations from a struggling lift user... > > Yes, I see it's utility in delivering dynamic html to the browser.
