    <p>I've been using Spring 3 and Jquery for a while but heard about Play and gave it a shot. I really like it, Play is a great fit between something like PHP and the heavy duty Java frameworks like Spring.</p> <p>The things I like most about play are:</p> <ul> <li>Very easy to get a play application off the ground, you have to go pretty far with coding and configuration to get a simple crud application on the screen with Spring (though Spring 3 has made it a lot easier).</li> <li>Spring Security is awesome but it comes at the cost of complexity. Play's security module is very very simple and covers the needs of probably 90% of applications out there.</li> <li>You can make a code change and hit refresh in the browser to see the change like with PHP instead of having to do the whole redeploy thing with Servlet based frameworks.</li> <li>Error messages are displayed nicely and not so cryptic most of the time. Play still needs to work on their error handling</li> <li>There's a plugin mechanism for Play that's pretty simple. </li> <li>Object persistence is done very nicely in that an in memory database and JPA comes with the framework so there's no configuration of external object persistence tools. Going from the in memory database to an actual RDBMS is a one line change in the config file.</li> <li>The MVC setup is done very well. The Model class you extend to create your domain objects integrates with the JPA entity manager. They're not just POJO's.</li> <li>Mapping URL's to controllers is simple and flexible and all in one "routes" file.</li> <li>Whenever you create a project Play handles all the jar dependencies and Play has a utility to eclipse-ify (or whatever IDE you like) the project so that it imports directly into your favorite IDE.</li> </ul> <p>Things I don't like about Play</p> <ul> <li>The documentation isn't all the way there yet, lots of undocumented features still exist.</li> <li>The framework is the server so you have to dedicate a port to each application. I think someone is working on a virtual host plugin but I haven't seen it in action yet.</li> <li>It's young, the project is awesome and technology is awesome but it really needs some more developers. I would love to dedicate some time to it, we'll see.</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
