[2.1.0] application.conf in sub-project

[Nicolas Forney]

Hello,

Is there a way to define in a subproject an appliction.conf and then be able to access it from the subproject?

my-application

 |-- app

 |-- public

 |-- conf

 |  |-- application.conf

 |  `-- routes

 `-- modules

    `-- common

       |-- app

       |-- public

       |-- conf

         |-- application.conf   <-- 

         `-- common.routes

 

I created 

my-application/modules/common/conf/application.conf

and added a configuration :

 my.configuration="hello world"

Now i would like to access it from one of the common module controller.

 Play.application().configuration().getString("my.configuration"); 

But it doesn't works ecause the application.conf is not loaded.

Thx for your help

Hi,

AFAIK this is not possible, Play (or Typesafe Config) will try to
locate an application.conf resource on the classpath and use that one.
I suppose you could use Typesafe Config directly and do something like

ConfigFactory.parseFile( ... )

and then wrap it in the Play wrapper of the Configuration (I don't
know if there is one for Java; I know there is one for Scala).

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for the tips. I will check if I can use the ConfigFactory

Sorry to bring this up more than a year later, but I found this tutorial of submodules with play 2.1 having a application.conf in both the main project and the submodules:

Hope this helps someone.
