The included database management works only with a single datasource.

So you can define your own datasources outside the framework but they will
not be used in
automatic transaction management and JPA support ...

Hi,

PlayBD and persistance support are implemented using play plugins (JPAPlugin and DBPlugin). So, if you need the 2 db feature and want it tightly integrated to play, writing your own JPA/DB plugin is the way to go.

xiaocase, did you manage to write a plugin that can handle two databases in one app? I would like to do that too.

Thanks,

Lee
