Are you sure Lift is using Tomcat's Comet implementation rather than it's own? Comet was always very proprietary. A quick search of the Lift Github repo doesn't identify any Tomcat specific classes and the docs suggest it runs in any Java EE servlet container. That indicates to me that Lift is not using Tomcat's Comet implementation. The quickest test is probably to download 9.0.0.M1 and see if a simple test app works. I know next to nothing about Lift or I'd do that myself.
