I've declared an object which gets instantiated on application start. I want to access it inside a controller, which is part of a plugin. I want to be able to use that plugin, but I can't seem to get past the first part -- finding the MyWebsocketConnection
object. None of the examples show how to do this. I don't want to inject into the controller because I'm writing a plugin (I saw static examples of how to do that somewhere).
Global.scala
, plugin application \app\Global.scala
object Global extends GlobalSettings {
object MyWebsocketConnection {
val logger = // return something that gets instantiated once, like websocket object for logging to ui
}
class MyWebsocketConnection {
import MyWebsocketConnection.logger
}
override def onStart(app: Application) {
Logger.info("Application has started...");
}
}
My custom logging plugin controller:
MyLogger.Scala
, plugin application \app\controllers\MyLogger.scala
object MyLogger {
def info(message: String) = {
// THIS CAN'T BE FOUND ?
// MyWebsocketConnection.logger.send(message)
}
}
So, from the Play! 2.0 app that references the plugin, I would (probably) do something like below, but I can't even get past the part before this:
MyFutureController.scala
, another Play! application \app\controllers\MyFutureController.scala
object MyFutureController extends Controller {
def someRandomMethod = Action {
// Custom logging
MyLogger.info("Here's my log message!");
Ok("This documentation stinks!")
}
}
There is also workaround #3: move your Global class to a package and specify its fully qualified name in application.conf file, like so:
global= my.packaged.Global
