  1. No, it isn't (digital signatures FTW) by F69631 · · Score: 1 · on Mozilla Releases HTML5 MMO BrowserQuest

    It's possible to use the client for data storage but sign and/or encrypt all the data so that you know the client hasn't modified it.

    This approach has actually been gaining momentum lately. For example, everyone knows that cookies shouldn't be used for storing important data (such as whether the client has logged in to a web service and what his user id is) so the traditional method is to store session data on the server and just store the session id in the cookie. However, play! (a framework that finally makes java web development tolerable) aims for more stateless architecture and stores all the session data on the client and just uses digital signature to make sure that the data client sends to server hasn't been tampered with.

  2. Play framework by mr_stinky_britches · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use?

    Play-framework is a JVM web framework which works with both Java and Scala. It reminds me a lot of RoR and Django, with additional benefits, such as:

    • -High-performance JVM
    • -Real system-level threads
    • -Type safety
    • -Leverage existing libraries (jars), there are many fantastic resources available for the JVM

    I've been using this in production for 9 months now and haven't looked back. The community support on the Scala side (IRC, Twitter, Stack Overflow) has also been friendly and responsive.

    Instead of Lift, checkout Play (make sure you watch the screencast)! Scala support is currently a plugin but will be the first choice language in Play 2.0 (currently in beta), and it has commercial support available.

    Basically, it's Ruby on Rails for Scala and Java.

    Thanks - will have a look (is this it - www.playframework.org?)

  7. Re:getters setter :) by JSlope · · Score: 1 · on Thoughts On the State of Web Development

    You can try http://www.playframework.org/ it doesn't require getters and setters, and for a Java framework it's quite cool.
