[1.2] play and -Dprecompiled=true

[Carl Perfect]

Hello,

I am wondering what is the best way to deploy my app in production.

I read that precompiling my app before deploying to my server is making
things better (better start time, and the possibility to not include java
source files).

But for this to work, the app has to be started with

play start myApp -Dprecompiled=true

Which is fine when you run the app in standalone mode
(using play embedded netty webserver).

But what happens when you deploy your app as a war on
a J2EE container ?
Or when the deployment is made by automatic tools like
in the GAE case ?

So the question is : how to force my app to start with

-Dprecompiled=true ? 

Cheers,
Carl

There are source files for Play Framework 1.2.7 in your "play-1.2.7/framework/src" directory. So what I know is just modify "Play.java" line 165,change "    public static boolean usePrecompiled = false;" to "    public static boolean usePrecompiled = true;". Then compile the source code to play.jar, and replace the original play.jar on your server.

Thanks for your feedback.
I guess this is a valid solution:)
