You need to define your filter chain - see this section of documentation for the official guide.

import filters.LoggingFilter;
import play.http.DefaultHttpFilters;
import javax.inject.Inject;

public class Filters extends DefaultHttpFilters {
  @Inject
  public Filters(LoggingFilter logging) {
    super(logging);
  }
}

If your Filters class is in the root package, you don't need to change anything in your application.conf. For the standard Play package structure, the root package is at the same level as controllers and views, and the Filters class itself will not have package as the first line of the source file.

+- controllers
| \ App.java
+- filters
| \ LoggingFilter.java
- Filters.java

If you have it somewhere else, say, com.example.filters, you need to declare it in application.conf.

play.http.filters=com.example.Filters
