This is a slight reworking of the Play framework 2.1.1 Scala-language sample application - zentasks - to run on Cloud Foundry. The application uses PostgreSQL instead of the in-built H2 in-memory database.

PostgreSQL barked on the use of user as a table name because user is a reserved word. The queries used in the application have been updated accordingly to use users instead.

To deploy the application to Cloud Foundry, simply build the dist and push it to Cloud Foundry using the provided manifest.yml file.

$ play dist
$ cf push

The host name field in the manifest.yml include some random characters to make sure the URL for the app is unique in the Cloud Foundry environment. The output of the cf app command shows the URL that was assigned. Using the provided URL in the urls field displayed, you can browse to the running application.
