I'm trying to migrate a Playframework application from 2.4 to 2.5.3 and I have problems to get values from application.conf
file:
Before to get a value of from application.conf
what I do was:
Play.application().configuration().getString("label")
Now as Play.application()
is deprecated, I should use Dependency injection. Based on the framework documentation I use the following instructions:
javax.inject.*; import play.Configuration;
@Inject private Configuration configuration;
When I follow these instructions on my controller Application.java
it is working perfectly:
But when I try to use it on an other class object from my project, the dependency injection is not working and I always get a NullPointerException
.
Can someone give me an example about how to get values from application.conf
using dependency Injection?
Some part of my java code where I try to use the DI:
import javax.inject.Inject;
import play.Configuration;
import play.Logger;
public class Zipper {
@Inject private Configuration configuration;
public void unZip(String zipFilePath) {
Logger.debug("Display : zipFilePath"+zipFilePath);
Logger.debug("before call parameter from application.conf");
Logger.debug("configuration.getString = "+configuration.getString("Unzipedfile.path"));
Logger.debug("aftercall parameter from application.conf");
}
}
And I always get a null pointer exception, at the line with configuration.getString("Unzipedfile.path")
I put here the answer, in order to help anyone with the same issue
My error came from the way i used to instantiate my Zipper java class from my calling class.
Thx to Igmar Palsenberg, he provided me the answer : https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/play-framework/uLFqTM9_Iy4
I used Zipper zipTest = new Zipper(); to instanciate my Zipper class and i have to use Zipper zipTest = injector.instanceOf(Zipper.class);
