Accessing the application.conf properties from java class with Play! 2.0

Question

I want to add an object to the Global scope, and in order to construct it I need to pass it a path to a file. I don\'t want to hard code the file path in the source, and so

Answer 1

import play.Play; String myVal = Play.configuration.getProperty("your.key").toString();

i use this in my app and it works

Dont forget to import play.Play. Hope it'll gives you help

Answer 2

Since Play 2 uses the Typesafe config library, I accessed my vars in application.conf like this :

ConfigFactory.load().getString("my.var");

Answer 3

Use as following (Tested in Play 1.2.5)

${play.configuration.getProperty('my.var')}

where my.var should be specified in application.conf file

Answer 4

For Java Playframework:

In Application.conf, you can put something like that:

email="example@gmail.com.pe"

some class:

import play.Play;

String email = Play.application().configuration().getString("key") // key ->email

Answer 5

As a reference to access it from the template (for play < 2)

play.configuration['your.key']

Answer 6

From Play 2.4 and + it is better to use dependency injection to access Configurations:

import play.Configuration;
import javax.inject.Inject;


@Inject
private Configuration configuration;

...

String value = configuration.getString("your.key");
