This is a scalatra basic authentication with email authentication example. This was inspired from Jared Armstrongs basic authentication blog post and code examples, with some help from the folks in the #scalatra IRC channel. The validation emails are messaged over to an actor for sending, so that I could get that out of the webstack and test drive scala's very cool actor model. Disclaimer: I am new to scalatra, and scala. So there may be some things are were implemented in a fashion just short of full retard. If you see one, drop me a message and enlighten. Or, fork it and show me whats up. I started looking at scalatra for an API, and grabbed this as a small project just to play around with the language and get familiar. An enjoyable evening of hacking on something new...
