Play Framework 2.2.1 - Case Insensitive

I am new to Play and currently working on Play 2.2.1

I am trying to achieve case insensitivity for my endpoints that are defined in "routes"

eg. I defined the say / accessLicense route in the routes file, it will look below

GET /accessLicense controller.MyController.accessLicense()

Now, if I shoot / accessLicense, it works fine; as expected, but if you try to use fir / AccessLicense, / AcCeSSLicenSe or any other combination of upper and lower case letters that pronounces the same word, it does not work.

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support !!!

Unfortunately, AFAIK, there is no way to magically turn on a switch that will do what you want. Fortunately, there is a workaround inferior to IMHO, but its the best you can do.

GET / [aA] [cC] [cC] [eE] [sS] [sS] .....

EDIT: I did the following that matches my specific requirement for the bottom of the body is only the first part of the URL. Thus, GET / AbCdE / XyZ will become GET / abcde / XyZ, and if it has an action in the routes, then it will be processed accordingly.

 override def onRouteRequest( request: RequestHeader ) = { val path = request.path val split = path.split( "/" ).toList val lowerCasePath = split match{ case ""::Nil => ""::Nil case ""::x::y => ""::x.toLowerCase::y } logger.error( lowerCasePath.toString ) super.onRouteRequest( request.copy( path = lowerCasePath.mkString( "/" ) ) ) }
