Adding some initial code before Play Framework started

Question

I want to perform some configuration options (log4j and ActiveJDBC) in my Play application, but cannot find a way to add custom code on stratup.

Is there any option to do this?

You have to define class extending GlobalSettings in the root package and override one of two methods: beforeStart(body executed before any plugin) or onStart(body executed after all plugins), depends what you exactly need. See Docs and API.
