Play module intends to speed up development of large projects with Play 1 framework.

This is a work in progress.

The aim is to:

• disable enhancers
• disable Play's own compilation of Java code
• simplify classloading

How to migrate from "classic" Play1 application to play-rebel

Find all "classic" redirects

1. Add this line to your play.plugins:

0:play.rebel.PlayRebelAntiEnhancerPlugin
2000:play.rebel.migration.LegacyRedirectsDetector

2. Start your Play application
3. Find phrase legacy redirects in logs
4. Add this line to every controller:

  protected static Redirector redirect = new Redirector();

4. Replace every call to "action" method, like SomeController.someAction() by

  redirect.to("SomeController.someAction");

5. Replace every call to "action" method with parameters, like SomeController.someAction(42, "yip") by

  redirect.with("userId", 42).with("password", "yip").to("SomeController.someAction");

6. Replace every call to Validation.valid(Object) with a call to Validation.valid(String, Object)
7. Don't use methods:

• play.db.jpa.GenericModel.validateAndSave()
• play.db.jpa.GenericModel.validateAndCreate()
