Lift is a powerful, secure web framework.
Lift is composed on discrete elements. Lift support the likes of JNDI, JTA, JPA, etc. The fact that you’re not forced to uses these elements of J/EE is a strong indication of Lift’s modular design.
Because Lift applications are written in Scala, you can still use Java libraries and deploy to your favorite Servlet Container and app server. Use the code you’ve already written and deploy to the container you’ve already configured.
This is free and open source software.
