Defining an array in play's config file

I didn't find any information about that topic. Is there any way to define an array in the standard play config file app.config which have such the values as?

application.secret="Gk<9kCgMu@A62eyfcJ;YZ2nFnA;4324/gfdg]afdsfds"
application.langs="en"
application.global=common.Global

I find this answer searching for "play framework config array".

For Play 2.7 the correct syntax for a List is:

my.setting=["value1","value2","value3"]

otherwise you get an Exception like

com.typesafe.config.ConfigException$WrongType: application.conf @ file:/xxxxx/application.conf: 12:  my.setting has type STRING rather than LIST

Hope this helps someone else.

Yes, it is possible and described in the Play configuration chapter.

In general, what you are looking for is this:

my.setting="[value1,value2,value3]"

In your code you can access it like this:

Play.current.configuration.getStringList("my.setting") //returns an Option[java.util.List[String]]

You may also use getLongList, getBooleanList and so on.
