play framework using slick with java

Question

I want to start a new play framework project, and I want to use a database mapper. For Scala there is slick.

Can I use Slick with java as well? Or is there a nice pendant for java?

Answer 1

The straightforward answer is no . You may be using it in Scala (eg. write DAO layer in Scala) and then use that in your Java but honestly it may be too much of a hustle.

There is no straightforword alternative - you would need to use Hibernate or Ebean .
