Multiple Databases with Play Framework 2.1.x

Question

I have 2 databases that I need to connect to. I can easily connect to them in the application.conf file like so:

db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.d         


        

Answer 1

Ok, your application.conf seems to be correct.

You may use the secondary server like this:

EbeanServer secondary = Ebean.getServer("secondary");
secondary.find(User.class).findList();

Once you've got your secondary server, you may treat it just as you treat the Ebean singleton.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I fixed it by specifying the server name at the Model.Finder level.

So in your case, in your User class, you should have something like :

public static Model.Finder<Long, User> find = new Finder<Long, User>("secondary", Long.class, User.class);

Answer 3

You can use both:

public static Model.Finder<Long, User> find = new Finder<Long, User>("secondary", Long.class, User.class);

and

Ebean.getServer("secondary");

But you have to use the save method with the server declaration on your entity

public void save(String server)

Without save() ebean uses the default server, even on your user-entity!
