I'm curious...can you describe a servlet-based component that you might want to reuse? As I've been doing Ruby mostly for the last few years, I'm struggling to

  I'm not sure what dabeeeenster had in mind, but I know that we previously integrated third party forums and other modules into our servlet based applications. You still have the option to run servlet based components on a subdomain to keep your core Play app clean. I think because Play is Java, you tend to want to merge it into existing servlet applications, but you have to realise that it's the same as moving to an entirely new language. It might be based on the same core language, but its not really compatible. Although we were excited about creating something with Play, we had to hold back several months because there was no way to gradually migrate and integrate Play into our existing servlets. It only really works when you are starting a new project. Its not ideal, but as previously said, you have to treat it as completely separate, not linked to servlets and its as though you are moving to Ruby etc.
