Answer 1

If you are using an IDE you can run 'play debug', then connect with your IDE and put a breakpoint at the beginning of the controller and then inspect the content of the request. You can find more information in the Playframework documentation . If you don't use an IDE you can still use a standalone Java debugger, I've had luck with JSwat .
