The backend is home grown background server which access the same database as Web apps and prepares things for Web apps. I can run separate server and communicates but that means twice as many database connections and memory usage as oppose to using same process for both Lift and server. I did not work with servlets before but as i understand it is a background server already, i was thinking to extend it with some scheduling and threaded job ability.
