Embedding the Play application in a user system

I would like to embed a Play-based application in my own system, similar to what I am capable of doing with Jetty. To simplify - instead of running a startscript, I would rather use a method start().

To be a little more visual, suppose I have this scenario:

  • I have a complex system based on my own code, which is responsible for messaging, event handling, etc.
  • Part of this system uses Morphia mappings (MongoDB ORM), which can be reused by the Play application.
  • Currently, the application starts Java Service Wrapper and starts as a daemon
  • I would like to expand this system by adding a Play application and all its dependencies to my own application and calling some method to launch the application using the base protocol stack (Netty)

Is this scenario possible at all?

You can launch the playback server programmatically using the class NettyServer:
https://github.com/playframework/Play20/blob/2.0.4/framework/src/play/src/main/scala/play/core/server/NettyServer.scala

how

NettyServer.createServer(new File("/path/to/app"))
