How to start a TCP Server within an PlayFramework (scala)

I am trying to share an in-memory H2 Database I created using SORM framework in my Play Framework application. Below is the code for my database code

object DB extends Instance(entities = Seq(Entity[Person]()), url ="jdbc:h2:mem:db1"){}

The solution stated at H2 Database site is to start a TCP Server. In Java applications I am able to share the database using the following code

org.h2.tools.Server server = org.h2.tools.Server.createTcpServer();
server.start();

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:h2:mem:db1");

How can I start a tcp server in my Play application when it starts or when it is running?

Solution

  • From playframework documentation, you should be able to place the code in onStart function.
