Web Application Development on Scala

Question

Hi,

I have just learnt scala and i want to try some web development with it. On Google, one of the frameworks i came across (the only one?) was Lift. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Any suggestions for web application development with scala on any other frameworks?

Thanks!

AFAIK, Lift is the most mature game in town if you want to stick with a Scala based solution, also see http://code.google.com/p/slinky2/. A word to the wise, I have yet to use slinky at all, except for browsing the source, it's very simple in design adhering strongly to request => response model.

Mind you, this is Scala, and so you can use all of Java's existing frameworks. In particular, I'd suggest you look at wicket: http://technically.us/code/x/the-escape-hatch that describes how to combine the two.
