Hi,

When I add these lines to application.conf :

ebean.docstore.url="http://127.0.0.1:9200"
ebean.docstore.active=true
ebean.docstore.generateMapping=false
ebean.docstore.dropCreate=false
ebean.docstore.create=false

I have the following error :
play/conf/application.conf: 26: docStore has type OBJECT rather than LIST

    I managed to make it work thanks to the ServerConfigStartup, by adding :

    package models;

import com.avaje.ebean.config.ServerConfig;
import com.avaje.ebean.event.ServerConfigStartup;

public class MyServerConfigStartup implements ServerConfigStartup {
    public void onStart(ServerConfig serverConfig) {
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setUrl("http://localhost:9200");
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setActive(true);
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setGenerateMapping(false);
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setDropCreate(false);
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setCreate(false);
        serverConfig.getDocStoreConfig().setPathToResources("conf");
    }
}

    Problem is here:

    play-ebean/play-ebean/src/main/java/play/db/ebean/EbeanParsedConfig.java

    Lines 49 to 54 in 34ec6cf

    if (raw.valueType() == ConfigValueType.STRING) {
    // Support legacy comma separated string
    models = Arrays.asList(((String) raw.unwrapped()).split(","));
    } else {
    models = ebeanConfig.getStringList(key);
    }

    This is just accepting/parsing String and List configurations.

    To use DocStore, You have to put these lines on conf/ebean.properties. The file application.conf is only used to configure datasource and model location (for enhancement and register classes with Ebean server).

    I could, but I would have to put all ebean configuration in this file (I tried to mix configuration between the ebean.properties and application.conf, but it doesn't work) and the way I deal with different environnement doesn't really allow that. A fix would be more than welcome :)

    I see, it make sense, something like that (see below) could be a good approach to handle configuration of all Ebean functionalities.

    application.conf

    ebean {

    servers {
        default {
            enhancement = ["models.*"]

            docstore {
                url = "http://127.0.0.1:9200"
                active = true
                generateMapping = false
                dropCreate = false
                create = false
            }
        }
    }

    querybean {
        # Configure type safe queries (http://ebean-orm.github.io/docs/query/typesafe)
        ...
    }

    encryption {
        # Configure encryption key manager to use for fields annotated with @Encrypted
        encryptKeyManager = "com.zero_x_baadf00d.ebean.encryption.StandardEncryptKeyManager"
    }
}

    ...of course it doesn't work. It's an example of what play-ebean configuration could looks like in the future. I just said "could be a good approach to handle configuration of all Ebean functionalities.".

    I have rewritted so many files, not sure it will be merged in this project. So we are published our version under our organization.

    in your project/plugins.sbt file, you can override sbt-play-ebean with :

    addSbtPlugin("com.payintech" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "16.12")

    And use this application.conf

    # Ebean
# ~~~~~
ebean {
  servers {

    # You can declare as many servers as you want.
    # By convention, the default server is named `default`
    default {

      # Locations of the classes to enhance
      enhancement = ["models.*"]

      # Extra server settings
      settings {

        # Set to true if this server is Document store only
        onlyUseDocStore = false

        # Encryption key manager to use for fields annotated with @Encrypted
        #encryptKeyManager = "com.zero_x_baadf00d.ebean.encryption.StandardEncryptKeyManager"
      }

      # Document store
      docstore {

        # URL of the ElasticSearch server to use
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:9200"

        # Enable document store integration
        active = true

        # Set the relative file system path to resources when generating mapping files
        pathToResources = "conf"

        # Generate mapping files for each index and these will by default be
        # generated into ${pathToResources} under "elastic-mapping"
        generateMapping = false

        # Drop and re-create all indexes
        dropCreate = false

        # Create only indexes that have not already been defined
        create = false
      }
    }
  }
}

    & still got this error
    /application.conf:** 87-90: docstore has type OBJECT rather than LIST]

    Anyone else who is able to run this successfully...please share the config format.

    @ethereal-sandeep have you upgraded your application.conf file ? If you have in develop mode, think to restart server after editing project/plugins.sbt.

    # Ebean
# ~~~~~
ebean {
  servers {

    # You can declare as many servers as you want.
    # By convention, the default server is named `default`
    default {

      # Locations of the classes to enhance
      enhancement = ["models.*"]

      # Extra server settings
      settings {

        # Set to true if this server is Document store only
        onlyUseDocStore = false

        # Encryption key manager to use for fields annotated with @Encrypted
        #encryptKeyManager = "com.zero_x_baadf00d.ebean.encryption.StandardEncryptKeyManager"
      }

      # Document store
      docstore {

        # URL of the ElasticSearch server to use
        url = "http://127.0.0.1:9200"

        # Enable document store integration
        active = true

        # Set the relative file system path to resources when generating mapping files
        pathToResources = "conf"

        # Generate mapping files for each index and these will by default be
        # generated into ${pathToResources} under "elastic-mapping"
        generateMapping = false

        # Drop and re-create all indexes
        dropCreate = false

        # Create only indexes that have not already been defined
        create = false

    @ethereal-sandeep I think you don't use our plugin, cause you have an error on the file EbeanParsedConfig.java who has been removed since the version 16.12.

    Are you sure addSbtPlugin("com.payintech" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "16.12") is in your project\plugins.sbt file ? Have you clean your project (rm targetdirectory) ?

    Seems not related to sbt-play-ebean module. Maybe try to fix the following warning and check our datasource configuration (db.default.driver, db.default.url, db.default.username, ...)

    [warn] application - Logger configuration in conf files is deprecated and has no effect. Use a logback configuration file instead.

    This got closed by

    which will be part of the next releases. Since this issue is about two things, here's a summary:

    1. The error docStore has type OBJECT rather than LIST: fixed

    Play Ebean reads the lists of models from ebean.<server> in Play's configuration, and took every entry below ebean. for such a list. So any other setting there, like ebean.docstore.url, made it fail, at runtime as well as in the sbt plugin when loading the models to enhance. Now Play Ebean only uses strings and lists below ebean. as models, and ignores everything else.

    2. Configuring Ebean in application.conf: not supported

    Ebean doesn't read Play's application.conf. It reads its own settings from conf/application.yaml or conf/application.properties (ebean.properties is deprecated). So Ebean settings in application.conf have no effect, and Play Ebean now logs a warning for such ignored settings from a .conf file. Put them into conf/application.yaml instead, which only Ebean reads, e.g.:

    ebean:
  docstore:
    url: http://127.0.0.1:9200
    active: true
    generateMapping: false
    dropCreate: false
    create: false

    Alternatively, a ServerConfigStartup (like in the comment above) can set them programmatically. Make sure it's covered by an ebean. config line, e.g. by putting it into the models package, otherwise Ebean doesn't pick it up.

    The docs now explain where Ebean's own settings go.
