Using Spring as a dependency injection framework with play 2.4.x?

Question

I am exploring play-scala 2.4.2 and trying to get the spring DI working with it. I see there are a lot of changes in play 2.4.x and old way of overriding the GlobalSettings.getC

The latest version of Play:

Create the class Global (Old Global than extended GlobaSettings):

@Singleton
public class Global {

    private static final String APPLICATION_CONTEXT = "applicationContext.xml";

    private ConfigurableApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Inject
    public Global( ApplicationLifecycle lifecycle ) {
        applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(APPLICATION_CONTEXT_XML);
        lifecycle.addStopHook( () -> {
            applicationContext.close();
            return F.Promise.pure( null );
        });
    }

}

Create the class ConfigurableApplicationContextModule:

public class ApplicationContextModule extends AbstractModule {

    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        bind( Global.class ).asEagerSingleton();
    }

}

In application.conf add this:

play.modules.enabled += "config.ApplicationContextModule"

Create file applicationContext.xml:
