Override play launcher

If you want to override the play application launcher, you must create your own class which extends GlobalCRUDSettings. This class must be in the folder projectRoot/app/

import play.Logger;
import play.Application;
import play.utils.crud.GlobalCRUDSettings;

public class Global extends GlobalCRUDSettings
{
    @Override
    public void onStart(Application app) {
        super.onStart(app);
        Logger.info("Application started !");
    }
}

Now notice play that the application launcher is now the class you created. Change the application.global configuration key in the conf/application.conf file, and use the class you created :

...
application.global=Global
...
