Ebean and playframework

In play 2.0 Ebean should become the default persistence l开发者_如何学编程ayer. And after a few days of hibernate frustration I started a look on Ebean. I found the yabe example really impressive. However I had a bunch of questions:

1. Does anybody use the play-module in a commercial project?

2. Does the module works with play 1.2?

3. What databases-platforms are supported? I found a special-class for Hsql.

4. Is there any update-support for database-tables or is it always drop and create?

Would be great if any one can give some information about.

On your questions:

1. I'm not aware of any famous application using it, but for what I saw it has a very active community that uses it. It's been around for 4 years (maybe more), so I expect some reliability :)
2. There seems to be a module, code here, that should be compatible. Never tried it though
3. Supported DB include: Oracle, MySql, Postgres, H2, SQL Server, SQLite. Maybe mroe, but these should be enough
4. EBeans can generate DDL for the database Schema. And it would surprise me if it doesn't have a "update" procedure (it would limit the usefulness a lot!)

• Does anybody use the play-module in a commercial project?

Not yet.

• Does the module works with play 1.2?

I've tried, it does not.

• What databases-platforms are supported? I found a special-class for Hsql.

All that ebean supports.

• Is there any update-support for database-tables or is it always drop and create?

Use the liquibase module for this.
