Question

I want to run some code on starting a Play Application. This does not seem to work. Any clues ?

public class Global extends GlobalSettings {

    @Override
    public void onStart(Application app) {
        Logger.info("Foo Fee Fi");
    }

}

Answer 1

Is your Global class in the default package? It should be, otherwise you have to define its location in application.conf:

# Global object class
# ~~~~~
# Define the Global object class for this application.
# Default to Global in the root package.
global=mypackage.MyGlobal
