playframework Java - Hello World The "Hello World" in the Hello World
Example
An "Hello World" doesn't deserve this name if it does not provide a Hello World message. So let's make one.
In the file app/controllers/HomeController.java add the following method:
public Result hello() {
return ok("Hello world!");
}
And in your conf/routes file add the following at the end of the file:
GET /hello controllers.HomeController.hello
If you take a look at your terminal, you should notice Play is compiling your application while you make the changes and reloading the app:
[info] Compiling 4 Scala sources and 1 Java source to /home/YourUserName/HelloWorld/target/scala-2.11/classes...
[success] Compiled in 4s
Navigating to localhost:9000/hello, we finally get our hello world message
