Play Framework: Introduction to Writing Modules
by
Alexander Reelsen | July 2011 | Java Open Source
The Play framework is the new kid on the block of Java frameworks. By breaking the existing standards it tries not to abstract away from HTTP as with most web frameworks, but tightly integrates with it. Modularity should be one of the main goals, when designing your application. This has several advantages from a developer's point of view: reusability and structured components are among them. A module in Play is basically just an application which can be included in your current application. This application-in-application architecture means that there are only very few differences between your application and the included module.
In this article by Alexander Reelsen, author of Play Framework Cookbook, we will cover:
- Creating and using your own module
- Building a flexible registration module
