For a year I’ve been working on two projects using the Play! Framework. The JRebel License Server and LiveRebel. I was evaluating different frameworks for these tasks and it boiled down to a choice between Struts and Play! Framework. Play! seemed the risky, cool, rebellious choice, while Struts was something more like the work horse (somewhat old) who delivers for sure. After some debate within the team we took a chance and went with Play!. During this time I’ve grown to love some features of Play! more than others and would like to share the love.
