What (light) java webservers > are lift known to work with ? You need a recent servlet implementation. JSP is not needed. I'm using Jetty although not embedded, but Jetty seems like it should easily be embedded.

Not sure what you envision here, but REST and loosely coupled should work :-) > f) I am using ANT and not maven to develop the java app. Will be able > to make Lift work with ANT so I use the same build tool for > everything?

You should use the latest 2.0-SNAPSHOT or milestone (M3 is just around the corner) /Jeppe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
