Play Multi-Project

An example of building applications that consist of multiple services.

First off, the top-level project is an sbt multi-project. It defines two Play applications, app1 and app2. It also defines a non-Play project model that contains code shared by the Play applications.

Each Play app is then split into a master app, and Play sub-modules (in this case only an admin module). Play sub-modules follow Play conventions, but require to use a separate routes file and sub-package for controllers and views. They cannot have conf files.

Note how sbt plugins are only defined by the root build.

Running

You can run each app individually by using sbt ";project app<n>;run. Two scripts are provided for this.

Testing

sbt test will run all tests in all sub-projects.
