Agreed. I still think it's a little cumbersome compared to rails, but it's definitely the best java web framework I've seen yet, and about as close to rails as you can probably get with java. Groovy for the template language is a good choice too.
The example app was very useful. Including some real world jquery ajax functionality was a big bonus and a great way to compare functionality with other frameworks. (render methods and routing specifically).
- ConceptDog 17y agoAlso agreed. Play is closer to what I was hoping Lift would end up being for Scala. But with Scala support coming in Play 1.1, I'm officially excited.
- therockhead 17y agoWould you mind sharing some of your thoughts on lift? How does it compare to other web frameworks that you have worked with?
- nocivus 17y agoI think I would prefer the django template language. Seems like you type a lot less, though I have been mistaken before :)
