JavaInterceptors

Intercepting requests

Overriding onRequest

One another important aspect of the GlobalSettings class is that it provides a way to intercept requests and execute some business logic before a request is being dispatched to an Action.

Let's see this in action:

import play.*;

public class Global extends GlobalSettings {

@Override
public Action onRequest(Request request, Method actionMethod) {
   System.out.println("before each request..."+request.toString());
   return super.onRequest(request,actionMethod);;
}

}
