Hmm - im afraid your just plain wrong here... it needs nothing of the sort. I have lift applications that are 100% back-end process, and have no UI, or rather, the UI is an objective-c cocoa desktop application. No magic included. Lift is extreamly good at building REST services as it has a very flexible HTTP handling mechanism. I do wonder though, if you already have a GET dispatch, what you cannot figure out how to do PUT? (look at net.liftweb.http.PutRequest and how its used in Req pattern match) @barry: You can do what you want without any issues. Lift is implemented as a filter so can co-habbit with other servlets etc. Lets assume that you implement the lift element under /badger - configure your web.xml correctly then only /badger/* requests get passed to lift. Technically speaking there is no difference in serving XHTML and XML... its all XML at the end of the day; its just that your browser can make sense of the micro-format ;-) Whatever you have your persistance teir configured with, you can just layer lift on top for a REST service - it really is that easy.
