trait Application extends AnyRef

A Play application.

Application creation is handled by the framework engine.

If you need to create an ad-hoc application, for example in case of unit testing, you can easily achieve this using:

val application = new DefaultApplication(new File("."), this.getClass.getClassloader, None, Play.Mode.Dev)

This will create an application using the current classloader.
