I'm using Play! Framework 2.4. I can make a table and insert data via the evolution .sql scripts but how do I setup my Appication.scala, routes etc to make a form insert data?
PS I'm quite new to Play
The best way play fromework recommends is using helper and template system.

But if you want to try with plain html and handler request in the controller by your own so you can try this:
Application.scala
def save = Action { implicit request =>
//here handle params from html form,
//this will return Option[Map[String,ArrayBuffer]]
val optionMap = request.body.asFormUrlEncoded
println(optionMap)
//saving things here
Ok("saved")
}
in plain html form
<form action="/savedata" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
conf/routes
POST /savedata controllers.Application.save
hope this helps. regards
