[2.2.2] [Java] Action Composition

[Kevin Sheppard]

I'm using Play 2.2.1(Java) and I'd like to know how to compose an action that will allow a forbidden() or badRequest() response once a certain condition was not met.

Example action:

public class Secured extends Action.Simple {
    public F.Promise<SimpleResult> call(Http.Context ctx) throws Throwable {
        if(ctx.request().cookie("username") == null) return F.Promise.pure(badRequest("You need to log in."));
        return delegate.call(ctx);
    }

My problem is that the badRequest() method is a Results.Status and that doesn't agree with the method signature. How can I fix this?

Hi Kevin,

This works for me:

return Promise.<SimpleResult>pure(badRequest("Something bad happened"));

Best regards,

Seemed to do the trick now though it didn't work earlier (saw it on a previous thread). Why is this not in the documentation btw?
