is there any way to integrate dwr 3.0 with play?

Solution

  • It's probably quite difficult. DWR needs a servlet (declared in WEB-INF/web.xml) to handle requests.

    Since Play Framework doesn't use servlets, integrating DWR in Play Framework requires:

    • To develop a controller to handle requests, emulating the DWR servlet (this part can be very difficult depending on the servlet complexity).
    • To routes all DWR requests to this controller.
