What do I need for a Webpage if I would use Scala + MongoDB

I have to make a small project and I have to use a nosql db and a language which runs on the JVM. So i thought: Scala and MongoDB

I think that will be fine, except you guys say "Dont use scala with any nosql db it runs bad, use java!"开发者_运维问答. The only problem is that i need a small web gui for this all. Just some simple things like a button and a textbox to fill up the database and later some cool (maybe colored) output of some datas. So no "big-hyper-flash-html5-super-website".

What do I have for options? I heard about the Lift Framework for Scala. Im sure its great, but i never used it. Is it worth to use it? Are there some easy "all-in-one-pack" tools? I found this: http://www.getslimstack.net/ It would make my life easier, but its only for windows, I need something on linux.

Or should I use Java (Java EE) and that would make everything easier, because Lift and other stuff is too complicated? The most important thing is that I use a nosql db.

Try Scalatra It's simple and clear. Moreover, since it uses sbt, that's easy to integrate any mongodb library, such as Casbah or lift-mongo-record.

You can use circumflex for creating web applications, connecting to DB, rendering FreeMarker templates and other useful tools. There is a group and github repo where you can find some answers.

And how about h2? it is not so bad at all. AFAIK there is only restriction, that only 1 JVM can connect to it at the same time.
