How to populate drop down box from conf file using Scala / Play Framework

Firstly, I am using play framework 2.1.1 with Scala. I would like to add create a drop down box with name but when the user selects it , it should give me the id of the selected name in drop down box.

Secondly, In order to achieve that i would like to use a conf file or sth. similar to it. I am open to new ideas and fancy ways to implement that. I need the value(id) in my controller. In addition, i can use play framework helpers as well.

Cheers

IDEA: In your configuration file, keep the association between name and id as a pair. Read the file using the typesafe configuration library. Then save the values you have read in from the config file in a data structure. When you are creating the view template that has the drop down box, read the data structure to get the name,id pairs and send those to the browser.
