Clearly this is due JVM locking issues either in your JVM implementation, or rather, in the way you are deploying your cobertura JAR. Jenkins can spawn up alot of JVM threads, and if cobetura is on your global classpath, its possible that some weird collisions are happening. I assume, ultimately, that this should be attributed … Read more
I agree with Jason that Play might just prove to be better than Grails. With four Grails projects under my belt (preceded by two Tapestry projects and one Wicket project), I’m seriously looking at Play next. One of the things I thought was cool about Grails is that “everything’s Groovy.” That is, you use Groovy … Read more
Try Play.application().configuration().getString(“your.key”) As noted in the comment (nico_ekito), please use play.Play and not play.api.Play. play.api.Play is for scala controllers (see comment by Marcus biesior Biesioroff) Additionally, play uses https://github.com/typesafehub/config under the hood so it can also provide some insights.
I had a bad experience with GAE, as you are forced to work with their API for many things, some components don’t work as GAE blacklists some package they require, etc. Also, moving from GAE to another platform can be painful. Amazon can get expensive depending on the resources you use. I don’t know about … Read more

Type playVersion within the activator console. Alternatively you can look in project/plugins.sbt for the line addSbtPlugin(“com.typesafe.play” % “sbt-plugin” % “2.3.2”) In this example, the play version is 2.3.2
To the best of my knowledge, there are two reasons why Scala’s idiomatic encoding of case classes can be bad: type inference, and type specificity. The former is a matter of syntactic convenience, while the latter is a matter of increased scope of reasoning. The subtyping issue is relatively easy to illustrate: val x = … Read more
I am using Play 2.4.3. Added addSbtPlugin(“com.typesafe.sbt” % “sbt-rjs” % “1.0.7”) to plugins.sbt // rjs = RequireJS, uglifies, shrinks to one file, replaces WebJars with CDN client accepts them pipelineStages := Seq(rjs, digest, gzip) This in my build.sbt does all the shrinking work etc. to bower JS, and webjars.
Encode your optional parameters as Option[String] (or Option[java.util.Date], but you’ll have to implement your own QueryStringBindable[Date]): def birthdays(from: Option[String], to: Option[String]) = Action { // … } And declare the following route: GET /birthday controllers.Application.birthday(from: Option[String], to: Option[String])
Play uses static methods only when it makes sense: in the controller layer, because controllers are not object oriented. Controllers act as mapper between the HTTP world (that is stateless, and request/response based) and the Model layer that is fully object oriented. in the model layer for factory methods, like findAll(), count(), create() which of … Read more
