Play framework and OSGI

Question

Is it possible to integrate play framework with OSGI to create plugable components? Did someone try it?

Answer 1

If you mean "create Play modules with OSGi", then no, it's not supported

If you mean "deploy Play as an OSGi module" then no, it's not supported

And to be fair, there's no reason to push its support. You can read these thoughts from Spring founder on OSGi, as an example. OSGi would add extra complexity to Play, while the main aim of Play is to be a rapid development platform, simple to use, removing some Java conventions (like Sessions). It would kind of defeat the purpose.
