I think it is a system that is easy to start with but I became nervous about recurring issues about scaling, the integration of Rails and Merb and had the idea, maybe wrong, that it was a system too much in transition. I read part of the tutorial of Lift, installed it on my computer using Maven, but in a way I got lost. Then I partially read a book about Wicket. I like the system very much, especially one trick exited me: the Ajaxfallbacklink in which a link worked in a simple way when javasript is disabled , but at the same time has some Ajax functionality when Javascript is enabled on the users system. I liked this feature very much, but the integration with a database is not an integral part of the Wicket-system and can be acquired via a Wicket-Spring-Hibernate combination. This seemed too much for me to get into as a starter. That's how I came back to Lift. I need a stable database-connection. You need one when you hope that people will be paying some, even small, amount of money for your service. > Can you clarify: Is this going to be a site, or a back end to a mobile > app that sits on the phone? I just want to make a site But I hope it is clear I am not here to criticise anybody, it is just that often I feel this system is way over my head. Maybe that will change. thanks Ko > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 2:32 PM, koveen <liep...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > Being a no-programmer and having no Java-background > > I'd like to have mentioned that Lift really isn't an easy framework. > > Having said that, I will try to read my way into this system and try > > to solve the problems I encounter. > > > I have one question. > > > I would like to establish a login method where a visitor of my site > > (to be) could be accepted as a valid user, based on the info the > > server receives when the visitor enters the site. > > > In my case it will be a site for mobile phones and some mobile phone > > operators will provide me with the telephone-number of the user once > > she enters.
