No war at all, its a standalone app. Right now I have an embedded
Jetty server with a registered jetty..RequestHandler. This app
monitors machine tools on manufacturing floors, buffers the data, and
provide a client http api for performing both one-time queries and for
streaming data to the client. It connects to many tools and serves
many clients. (A client may be performing predictive analysis,
optimizing power loads, etc.)

I suppose what I'm looking for is to leverage Lift's request parsing
and dispatching, concurrency/actor infrastructure, Jetty continuation
impl, that kind of stuff.

I need to keep the footprint as low as possible as the manufacturing
shops don't like to install very powerful server boxes on the floor to
run these agents. (For the interested, more info can found at
http://mtconnect.org.)

The app is written in Scala of course, but I'm a complete newbie wrt
Lift. I haven't even read the book yet (hey, I just bought it the
other day!), let alone dug into the code, so I could be asking for
something outside the Lift's use-model.

Hope this context clarifies.
