You can also use REST + Record .... Please see here: http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb/browse_thread/thread/b125f9d4e9ca10c8/5f871b2cf9f7099b?lnk=gst&q=REST+%26+Record#5f871b2cf9f7099b
It is a mechanism for automatically building Record objects from REST query string params. Hence Lift already puts the data in a single encapsulated context where you can apply validation etc. But Record framework is not yet hooked up with DB so you'd still may want to use Mapper framework.
