Answer 2

According to documentation:

A play application has several entry points, one for each URL. We call these methods 'action' methods. Action methods are defined in special classes that we call 'controllers'

For running Play Framework applications with Intellij Idea tools you need to download and install Scala plugin.

Then press the down arrow in you right top corner -> Edit Configurations -> + -> Play 2 App -> select play module

You can run you play-app via command line executing play run under the application root directory.
