Java developers have many remarkably-similar choices for building web applications. Play is a breath of fresh air, blending the power of Scala's strong type system and functional programming model with a rock-solid Java API that makes it easy to hit the ground running.

Play for Java shows how to build Java-based web applications using the Play 2 framework. It starts by introducing Play through a comprehensive overview example. Then, it looks at each facet of a typical Play application, both by exploring simple code snippets and by adding to a larger running example. It also contrasts Play and JEE patterns and shows how a stateless web application can fit seamlessly in an enterprise environment and demonstrates how a little Scala can go a long way in creating tight, efficient Java applications.
