Printing out SQL statements in Play

Unfortunately in Play2 there doesn’t appear to be a simple way to configure your application to print out SQL statements generated by Ebean. I believe the only way you can do it is via code.

1. Create a Global class, put in your app folder. 
2. In your Global class, override the onStart method to configure the debugging.

   public class Global extends GlobalSettings {
   
   
   @Override
   public void onStart(Application application) { 
       if (Play.isDev() || Play.isTest()) {
           Ebean.getServer(null).getAdminLogging().setDebugGeneratedSql(true);
       }
   
   }
   
   
   }
   

3. Enjoy the output.

   
   select t0.id c0, t0.meeting c1, t0.date c2, t0.topic c3, t0.presenter c4
   from meeting t0
   where t0.meeting = ?
