  • package inject

    Play's runtime dependency injection abstraction.

    Play's runtime dependency injection abstraction.

    Play's runtime dependency injection support is built on JSR-330, which provides a specification for declaring how dependencies get wired to components. JSR-330 however does not address how components are provided to or located by a DI container. Play's API seeks to address this in a DI container agnostic way.

    The reason for providing this abstraction is so that Play, the modules it provides, and third party modules can all express their bindings in a way that is not specific to any one DI container.

    Components are bound in the DI container. Each binding is identified by a BindingKey, which is typically an interface that the component implements, and may be optionally qualified by a JSR-330 qualifier annotation. A binding key is bound to a BindingTarget, which describes how the implementation of the interface that the binding key represents is constructed or provided. Bindings may also be scoped using JSR-330 scope annotations.

    Bindings are provided by instances of Module.

    Out of the box, Play provides an implementation of this abstraction using Guice.

trait Application extends AnyRef

A Play application.

Application creation is handled by the framework engine.

If you need to create an ad-hoc application, for example in case of unit testing, you can easily achieve this using:

val application = new DefaultApplication(new File("."), this.getClass.getClassloader, None, Play.Mode.Dev)

This will create an application using the current classloader.

    The factory used to create requests for this application.

  10. abstract def requestHandler: HttpRequestHandler

    The HTTP request handler

  11. abstract def stop(): Future[_]
