Integrating Play framework 2.0 and Spring framework

Question

I have developed a Spring/JPA application: the service, repository and domain layers are nearing completion.

The only layer that is missing is the web layer. I am considering using Playframework 2.0 for the web layer but I am not sure whether I can inject/use spring beans in my Playframework 2.0 classes.

Is this possible? If so how?

You can. Updated for Play 2.5.x:

By the way how do I install this/a plugin onto Play? – balteo Mar 16 '12 at 15:57
This plugin will use Spring 4 with Play 2: https://github.com/scott-phillips/Spring4Play2 – Cuga Aug 11 '15 at 14:03

Alex.p is right there is support for spring in PlayFramework

Have a look here : http://typesafe.com/blog/announcing-play-framework-21-the-high-velocit

and on example here : https://github.com/guillaumebort/play20-spring-demo

Cheers

I just tested it on my project it works but on playframework 2.1 in 2.0 it didn't work.

Here is a another way of injecting beans using Spring. Standard annotations are used. No plugin is required.

There's already support for the Spring IoC container in Play. It's just a matter of editing the application.conf file as mentioned in the linked to article.

Ignore the above see comment: it seems that this was dropped in playframework 2.0.

It seems that this was dropped in playframework 2.0. The link you provided is only relevant to version 1.x – balteo Mar 28 '12 at 17:47
Ah I did not know that +1. Guessing it was because it was rewritten in Scala - couldn't find much info about it being dropped though. Do you know if they have any plans of reincorporating it or not? Spring Integration with Play sounds really good. – alex.p Mar 29 '12 at 14:48
