Hi Ty, I don't personally have much experience with server-side MVC frameworks, but I'm sure others on the list do.
There are lots of different ways that a Pivot client can communicate with a server. I'd encourage you to look at Pivot's web query libraries, which can be used to both produce and consume REST-based web services (using JSON, XML, CSV, Java serialization, or whatever). The Pivot tutorial covers the client-side libraries, and you may also find this article helpful: http://ixnay.biz/implementing_rest_services_with_apache_pivot.html However, you should note that the server code in that example requires Pivot 1.5.1 which has not been released yet. You can build it from source, though. Re: login - I have written apps that use basic HTTP authentication as well as session-based authentication using cookies. They are both pretty easy to implement, though I prefer basic auth because it is stateless and therefore a bit more in line with the REST philosophy. Hope this helps. Feel free to post any additional questions you might have.
