    <p>I used play2 before with java. It felt a little bit like boilerplate especially if you used akka with java. But that is not the fault of the framework.</p> <p>Yesterday I read "Scala for the impatient" and I really enjoy the language.</p> <p>Now I looked at both frameworks Lift 2.5 and Play 2.0.3. I think lift has a higher learning curve and I could not just do something with lift. This is not a con for me. From what I saw, Lift has a very nice and clean design. </p> <p>But for me it is hard to tell what the main differences are. I think both frameworks are great.</p> <ul> <li><p>The Views First approach doesn't allow you to code in your templates, instead you have to code in snippets. I like this a lot because it looks more organized to me. It also lets you use a normal html editor. <em>(I have not much experience, this is just my first impression)</em></p></li> <li><p>For the security I don't think that is the job of the framework. </p></li> <li><p>Stateless/Stateful : It is hard to tell where the main differences are. I only know that play has also a state if you use web sockets.</p></li> <li><p>Both frameworks are able to compile after you press F5. I like this feature a lot.</p></li> <li><p>Both frameworks are using sbt</p></li> <li><p>Lift comes with authorization but I think there is a play2 scala plugin that does the same thing</p></li> <li><p>Lift has a ORM mapper for mongoDB. Because I want to use noSQL, this looks cleaner to me.<em>(Again not much experience)</em> <strong>Edit</strong> There is a ORM mapper for scala mongodb in play2 <a href="https://github.com/leon/play-salat">https://github.com/leon/play-salat</a></p></li> <li><p>Async - Play 2 uses Akka. Don't know what lift uses but they also have something similar.</p></li> <li><p>Lift ships with CSRF support. Play2 has a modul for CSRF but this adds a boilerplate to your code.</p></li> <li><p>Stateless authentication seems to have some security vulnerabilities. Both frameworks have the stateful authentication. (play2 stateful/stateless , lift stateful)</p></li> </ul> <hr> <hr> <ul> <li>What are the strengths of each framework? </li> </ul>

    1. COMay I suggest you remove the part about what you want to do? You could still open a second question for the "which is good for me?" and keep the "what are the differences?", as the latter seems more interesting as a reference for others.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
